Blackberry devices are being exported
The new Blackberry Bold 9700 and all at&t Blackberry devices went on sale a couple of days ago. This sparked a buying frenzy for anyone interrested in getting a Blackberry but it also boosted the export market for the Blackberry Devices.
A few weeks ago I sold my Blackberry Bold 9000 for &250 on Craigslist.org. I got many calls for my Blackberry and I inquired why there were a few guys buying up all the used Blackberry devices for sale. I found out these guys were buying for export to Venezuela. The market for Blackberry devices in South America is huge and the devices cost a lot more there than it cost in the United States. I then checked with some of my friends who are in the cell phone export business and they confirmed that they have orders prepaid for thousands of Blackberry 9700s. Now that the Blackberry devices are less expensive for the next few weeks the market is jumping at this oppertunity and buying up all they can before the price goes back up.
The blackberry 9700 was selling wholesale for $450 now they are selling for $360 wholesale. This leaves a huge mark up for exporters in South America. The Blackberry 9700 sells whole sale in Venezuela for around $600+

Blackberry Application Store
I deleted the Blackberry App World from my Blackberry Bold because it used up my application memory. My Blackberry Bold would run slow and restart at least twice a day because of the application memory issue. This issue is known by RIM the makers of the Blackberry devices, thats why newer Blackberry models like the Blackberry 8900 have 4 times the application memory as the Blackberry Bold and the Blackberry Storm. When RIM designed these devices they did not consider the Blackberry App Store. But now having the application store online will save the memory on the devices. The new Blackberry Application store web address is appworld.blackberry.com/webstore The web address if you want the Blackberry app store on your device is blackberry.com/appworld downloaded from you Blackberry browser.
Samsung Magnet
This cell phone is offered on at&t prepay and can be used for texting. It is only a $100 and is the lowest price for a full qwerty key board cell phone on at&t.
Nokia E71, Nokia Surge and Nokia 6650 sales stopped in South Florida
The 3G Nokia’s have been stopped from being sold in South Florida by AT&T in any of their retail corporate stores or indirect stores. These 3G Nokia models are shutting off by themselves and rebooting. The problem is not the cell phones but in the South Florida market only it is caused by a network issue on AT&T that only effects these 3G Nokia models. The other non-3G Nokia models are not affected by this network issue.
I was told by AT&T to take down any posters promoting any of the 3G Nokia models until further notice.
I did experience the rebooting on a Nokia E71 myself a few weeks ago. While I was playing around with the phone learning the features and downloading the Skyfire browser for my friend the E71 phone rebooted 3 times on me. My friend who owns the E71 Nokia phone also commented the phone reboots on him at the Dania exit on highway 95 all the time.
