Check craigslist, you can usually get a pretty cheap phone off their. At least to hold you over.

craigslist is probably your best bet.

Droid 2 is going for fairly cheap last I checked it out for a friend and it's a nice phone to hold you over.

the rumor is that possibly Nov. 10 is the release date, but this is unconfirmed.

If it's that close and if I were in your shoes, I would've waited the small amount of time and just put up with BB. Your money though

I'm willing to sell my Orig. DROID. I just need to know how to clear out my personal information.

factory reset wipes all data; email, saved files, music, pictures, passwords, etc. you revert it back to how it was from the factory.

Oh ok! I'm not sure how much I should sell it for though! It's in good shape!

got the phone turns out to be stolen.

Before buying phones via craigslist (or wherever), always make sure to check the ESN/MEID number to ensure that the phone has not been reported stolen or lost. I have done this for every phone I've bought on craigslist simply by calling Verizon tech support but I have heard that you can also look it up online. Sorry about your luck though, atleast now hopefully it won't happen again!

That sucks. (

Another option (for the future) is to have the seller meet you at the local Verizon so they can check it prior to the transaction. If the guy won't meet you at the store, you know something is up.

Best way to go about purchasing a used Verizon phone. You can check the ESN with the store right there, and have the security of being around the store when exchanging money and the phone.

Update to possible stolen phone

so i call tech support and tell ask them when the phone was reported stolen or lost they told me they told me last night at 7pm this was after i made the exchange. when i got home the phone was still active with the number i was texting with over last 2 days. i asked the tech if she found it weird that it took the person 2 days to report it stolen/lost they agreed. so now i am going to wait a few days ntil they activate there new phone then when they day i am going to call the number and see whats going on. there maybe hope yet small but some home. i dont think the guy new what he was doing to sell the phone.
