I've always bought by Amazon, you can see my purchase history, but I think I will not buy more for Amazon, by the way I was scammed by this seller.

I bought a "new" Blackberry bold and the battery is not lasting 3 hours.... The phone is always warm or hot.

The phone is relatively future proofed so I will still use it for the contracted period or longer and do recommend this phone for a budget minded shopper... IF the phone suits them.

Reception is normal with a solid 2-3 bars 70% of the time in most places and 5 bars in strong coverage area.
Rated 80% by by Ken (May, 2012)
The OS has several idiosyncrasies I can point out requiring alterations and is showing its age but those that enjoy little change overall while maintaining function will like this update.
