Default cell phone guru's..

I am not in NEED of a new phone but it is about that time that I should replace mine (Blackberry Curve 8310).
I'm looking ONLY to get the Xperia X1. I DO NOT use eBay.
I've searched Craigslist, and I'm just wondering where else can I get this phone for a decent price?
thanks.

att.
The Xperia X1 is an unlocked phone, so that isn't an issue.

You might wanna try small online cell phone shops, something like this:

Just stick with a large online-retailer and you should be good, why are you leaving the blackberry?

getting sick of it. and it's kind of plain to me.
I liked the BB bold for a bit but ehh. That X1 you got to admit does look damn sexy. But the price brand new back then was over 1k!

I'm stuck with a T-mobile Shadow for now, freakin' 2 year contract and I got about a year left still.

Is your blackberry unlocked?

I work at a authorize tmobile and verizin store. We carry over 150 phones. We can even get dealer price. If you need help I can help you get the x1. Last time I checked I think it was like 800. But if you spend that you're better off just gettng iPhone for half the price or even better.

x1 can be found on craigslist and amazon between 600-650.

800 is definitely too high.

Habeeb: selling for 150 for eveything.
works flawless, the phone itself has a few dings here and there on the body but it in no way affects the function of the phone. all the buttons work, and no scratches on the screen or cracks.

You can easily get a case cover to cover up the tiny cracks (have been sealed) on the phone.

Will include: charger, manuals, etc and original box as well.

These phones loose half value every year. Crazy how much they are when they first come out. My Crackberry was $450 new.

If anyone can get me a deal on the new BB touch for verizon let me know please. I wont pay the ridiculous amt they want for it. I have the Pearl that I want to sell. I need a full keyboard for email and the pearl is great for text messages and how small it was and that was the reason. Jeff if your phone worked for my network I would take it but Verizon is on a different network. I really want the touch phone as much as people havent been happy its new and its going to take time. The iPhone was the same way new and its gone through many years of advancements and corrections. The BB will do the same.
