I asked this too when I was about to purchase mine. Ask the seller if he can tell you the IMEI if hes a far drive away. The guy I bought mine off of gave it to me no problem and I called Rogers. Call 1888 Rogers1 to verify the IMEI. As long as they check out fine on their end its good. He didnt need to check the PIN though. As soon as I picked it up I called in again to erase his email info from the PIN and I was good to go. Theres a good chance hes not going to give out the IMEI over the phone so the next best thing to do is meet up at a Rogers store (like Draft pointed out earlier) and get them to verify it.

Good luck.


On a side note. I updated to .247 as well, Ill see how it turns out. I finally bought BerryBuzz today just for the LED alerts. Soo much better than a boring red blinking light. Theres like a bunch of custom colours like white and orange. And its like blindingly bright too. 6$- 20% off coupon at mobihand.

Usually takes 1.5 - 2 hours for my phone to fully charge from the red zone.

if you want oem, then order it from the blackberry site
if you don't care, pretty sure theres cheaper alternatives

i would personally get the real deal, don't want no name brand shit messing up my phone

will unlocking the bold void the warranty for rogers?
what benefits does unlocking the bold do besides restricting you to one network?

Thanks!

totally offtopic here but it's still regarding the bold:

Anyone know a good way to smooth out the leather cover so it feels like the leather on an aged basketball's leather?
New leather is nice, but semi-worn out leather is nicer, imo.

After a few weeks of using it, it'll feel worn out.

Photoshop for now. Touch screen - bold like device code named "Magnum" is present in RIM's late 2009/Early 2010 road map though.
