Please please help. I purchased a Blackberry 8800 off ebay and the phone was locked to Cable and Wireless. Sent away for the unlocking code which I entered and now its BLOCKED. What can I do apart from throwing the phone into the canal. Please help

Is there an IT policy in place

And what is a BLOCKED BlackBerry?

Or was it reported as lost or stolen? If that is the case, then you are out of luck unless you can return it and get your money back.

or you put the code incorrectly 10 times. is that what you did?

micky...

your case is one that scares me away from ebay (refurb, used, stolen, damaged etc..). i'd rather pay the extra money and buy from a retail store or reliable source and put myself at ease when purchasing pricey merchandise...or at least be able to see/test out the product in person. im sorry you're going through this, hope everything works out for you.
