I recently bought a white Blackberry 8100 because I lost one. When I first took the phone out of the package, I was surprised! Even though it was refurbished, it looked like new! Even though it came without a SIM card, it worked exceptionally well. When l later got a SIM card and a memory card for the unit, I was very pleased with it's sound, pictures, and quality. I'm glad that I purchased my Blackberry from The "O" (instead of that well known auction bid site) I started to get one from! I highly recommend this product! :)

I have been useing thisn phone for almost two years with no problems.

i needed a phone to use in Jamaica west indies and i was able to use it from here by just putting in my sim card from jamaica. I only think that you could have charged a little less even though it was unlocked. The mailing time was a little long it took one week to get here. But i liked that you verified the order before sending it out. thanks overstock keep up the good work.

This is probably the best way to buy a blackberry pearl if you arent in a position to renew your contract with your provider. It's a great phone that functions like brand new. There was cosmetic damage, as expected on a refurbished phone, but I just bought a silicon case for it and it looks as good as new!
