Consumer Solutions. eBay My World - consumersolutions

the phone was in brilliant shape and came very quickly. They sell refurbished phones and I guess I got one with an old firmware and installing the latest desktop manager from RIM didnt update the phone. The phone itself works beautifully now that I updated it-- just gotta remember that refurbed phones are sometimes very old and non-updated. $212 US is a good price though without any sort of plan.

Whoa, I disagree on buying from that seller. Looks to me like you lucked out in the phone being OK, but that seller has atrocious feedback.

Just my policy, but I would never buy something from a seller who has 5700 negatives and a 95.7% rating, no matter how good the deal. [And I am not counting the significant number of neutrals he has received].

While he has some negs from boneheads, lots of people got burned with defective phones. And some lost up to $100 on the shipping and typically assessed 20% restocking fee.

Just my opinion.

yeah I'm definitely happy with my purchase now that I know the phone is good and the battery life is near optimal-- I definitely don't vouch for them but my experience was good after the memory card thing.

San Francisco is probably right, but someone asked who it was and I did get good service as far as shipping and condition of the phone.
