stunt89: alleluia!!! maga don pay!!!

Guy I no be maga the phone is working 100% with the full function of blackberry I just upgrade the OS to 7.1 now.

Re-fur does not mean chinko, it works like ur normal phone, but d life span is short, if it falls thats the end or u over-charge it, it can close eye and no naija phone repairer can fix it unless they take it back to china.

The logo simply implies dat the phone wuz not assembled in Canada, where RIM is located. It means it wuz assembled in china. U're still gonna be able to do all the basic BB functions tho, however, it won't be as durable as the Canada assemble BB phones...

There is a simple way to check that your newly purchased BlackBerry Smartphone is really new. (Forget the packaging!!!) Cuz Lately, many 'NEW' devices are being sold as rebuilt or refurbished.

To access the hidden menu that will show you the data, head to the menu OPTIONS and then STATUS, while on that screen type BUYR and a new chart information that was hidden will appear.

Voice Usage:

If the Blackberry is indeed brand new, values must be zero. :|

On devices with OS 6 go to: Options / Device / device status information, in that screen type BUYR on keyboard
On devices running OS 7 or 7.1 go to: Options / Device / Device and Status Information then type BUYR.

What about an anti-theft app that works like avast antivirus/anti-theft on android phone? One that can't be un-installed even if the blackberry is formatted or a hard reset done on it, the anti-virus will still be there and rooted and can be put on stealth mode......you know any?

You dont need to enable it since you are'nt on an enterprise package.
