Strange request - I need some BlackBerry boxes

[gingermagic]

Hello all,

I'm a magician trying to prepare an effect for TV. We need some BlackBerry boxes and can't work out how to get hold of them. Does anyone have any that we could have or know anywhere we could get some from?

Looking forward to hearing any help you can give.

Boxes, you mean the housing? Or the retail boxes they are purchased in?

[gingermagic]

The cardboard boxes that they come in

Retail outlets that carry Blackberrys may be able to help with this.

I've tried them. They only have boxes of the phones they're trying to sell. The dummy phones they use for display don't have boxes. I'm really struggling to get them.

Dude try ebay. Theres always sales on there for boxes for products. There was once the funny story of a guy who paid £400 GBP for an 'Xbox Box' because he thought it was a typo when in fact, it was just the box that the console came in.
Good luck with your search.

Just had a look, but can't see any on there

Have you tried contacting Research In Motion

[gingermagic]

Yea, just called them but I was put though to someone who wasn't there. I'll try again after lunch.

Thanks Iraed74, but that's a bit steep :-)
