please i will like to know the difference between branded blackberry and unbranded ones i usually see some with names like att,Verizon and so on ,yet they say that they can work with any network ,but ppl dont seem to buy them much please what is the reason . because i want to buy one from someone and it has Verizon on it will it work here ?

Would advice you not †̥☹ get a BB with Verizon cos it does йo̶̲̥̅̊† work with etisalat BIS. Secondly unbranded work well without hitches like bug or software problem. Just get something unbranded or not Verizon coz I fell a victim then.

thanks my man , but what about other brands like att or sprint ,a friend of mine bought a sprint bb bold3 and said that it works well although i have heard about Verizon problem too from ppl

It works well.
This types of blackberries are normally fairly used shipped from abroad. The white men who used it bought it from their preferred service provider e.g. Verizon, at&t, orange, sprint, Vodafone e.t.c.
For this type of phone to be used in Nigeria, it would be unlocked by the seller, in a case where it has not been unlocked, visit any good engineer. Besides, there are people who help to unlock blackberry on nairaland.
