Default Blackberry Storm OEM?

Please Login to Remove!

Hello,
I found a company that claims that they get phones directly from RIM and they come without any network branding and are unlocked straight from RIM.

Is this possible?

Blackberry Storm 9500 OEM PDA Touch Screen Phone GPS MP3 Camera Phone Unlocked (Black) and GSM Cellular Phones - MyWorldPhone.com

Thanks in advance. The picture shows a verizon phone but the guy said that it is just a picture, the second call i made they assured me boxes are sealed and have no network association what so ever. Finally the video shows a telus mobile phone. If anyone has experience please advise, I am looking to get this for Tmobile to replace my current tmo phone.

myworldphone.com is usually legit, but I've never bought a bb from them. Only other phones.

Good luck.

$749.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FFFUUUUUUUUUUUU...!!! NEVER!

I would rather have a Verizon logo all over my phone and only pay $200. But I guess that's my opinion.

Well, for one the verizon phone will not work for me, I already have a work blackberry thats a verizon world edition 8830. I specifically want Tmobile service and now that they have 3g this is the ideal route. The price is 200 of what verizon charges without contract... i am sure its available cheaper elsewhere I am still shopping around, but when it comes down to it, with the money i save every month on tmobile vs att or verizon i can justify the purchase.

My current plan is 39.99 my faves, blackberry for 19.99 and I have grandcentral so i get unlimited calling using the loophole...i send all my texts over data and i am yet to get billed for an sms...so thats 60 (before tax) which is about half what verizon would rail me for...

The point is that you don't have to aign a contract to get an unlocked phone. This seems to be a hard point for people to understand. The only reason you can get it for $200 is because you agree to pay a carrier $2000-$3000+ in usage fees. Try getting one for $200 if you recently signed a new contract that came with another phone that you no longer want.
