I am looking for a CDMA Verizon cell phone that I can get for less than $125 or $130 on eBay. I have been looking at the BlackBerry Pearl 8130, BlackBerry 8830 WE, and the Motorola Q9c. Are there any other phones that you guys could suggest?
 
If you are looking for a BlackBerry on Verizon, I would try to shoot for the 8330 Curve over both the 8130 and 8830. You might be able to scoop one up, perhaps on Craigslist in your area?
 
I have found some Curves on eBay that are in my price range. But they are used. I don't really want to buy a used phone, unless I utterly have to. I think that I will go with the 8830. I have one question about it though. Can the 8830 send and recieve MMS? If it can't, then I will go with the Pearl, or the Curve.
 
It cannot receive MMS. That is one of the reasons I suggested the Curve. The 8830 also suffers from some severe memory loss, as the onboard memory is very low. Pearl has SureType, which is a hassle, especially if you are used to QWERTY. I would get a used Curve before a new 8130 or 8830. I have used all three devices just in case you were wondering.
 
I've decided to get a curve. I just can't live without the MMS. I also would need a camera. And the sure-type, I don't want to hassle with, as I have read mixed reviews of it. Thank you foor your suggestion. I really do appriciate it.
