i have Cingular with the BB 8700c and yes i love the 8700c but i have fat fingers , i like the key board of the BB 7290 . i don't browse that often but do email and SMS alot . i would like to know if anyone has any info on websites where i can find the BB 7290 for cingular or unlocked for a decent price ? i just got a 2 yr. contract with Cingular so i can't get any deals from Cingular ... any ideas besides Ebay as i have been " tricked " many times before by there so called deals and scams .

thankx

Buy, Sell Trade thread on this forum, under the community heading.

tried that .... just people posting for sale and trade .... i DON'T want to buy used or from people here . i'd prefer a website or store to purchase from if anyone knows of any . i need a receipt and someone to argue with if they sell me crap .

Buying brand new without a contract will be expensive. The only option is Ebay which you don't want to use. Sometimes you can find brand new ones for fairly cheap.

You might be able to find cheaper at the following websites but they probably require contracts though.

froogle.com
shopping.yahoo.com
amazon.com

Ebay's not that bad if you know what you're doing in selecting a seller.
