well i've been a BB user for a few years...and every having dropped my 8700 too many times to mention...decided that the bold was the new model i wanted...not wanting to pay rogers $700 for a no contract bold...i checked out ebay...and of course craigslist....the prices on craigslist were incredible! anywhere from $300 - 700...made me go hmmmmm....so to make a long story short...picked up a bold for $400...it seemed brand spanking new with a box and everything...
the 'gentlemen' claimed it was a t-mobile branded BB from the US...i asked why it had a rogers faceplate...he answered that since he paid with a credit card...they had to replace the faceplate with rogers..?!?!?! but the thing is when u turn the phone on/off it actually says t-mobile...
well the camera worked fine and the speaker phone etc...i called rogers and had them switch the PIN to my account and presto started receing my email right away..paid the 'gentleman' his $$$ and walked away.....
a few days later (as i'd been too busy at work/home to look closer) i noticed that the pin and imei #'s didnt match the box he had given me...and then i noticed that the keyboard was NOT QWERTY...but in fact QWERTZ!!! all the keys work fine but the y and z are perfectly transposed and works as Y when Y is pressed and the Z is a Z...but why would they be switched unless this is a perfect clone or some kinda test model...
Any thoughts???
