Reconditioned Blackberry

Would you consider a reconditioned Blackberry?
I went to the local Virgin media store to look at a contract for £12.26pm with free Blackberry curve. They have a special offer for £7.50 pm, same contract, but reconditioned phone as opposed to new. I was thinking even if the phone only lasts a few months I could then buy a new Blackberry and still be in pocket with the contract - what do you think?

    For Blackberry if the plan allowances meet your requirements - SNAP it up, you can always UP your plan if needs be.

    If it is £7.50 I would jump on it!! As long as it does include the blackberry service.

    I have opinions, you have opinions. All of our opinions are valid whether they are based on fact or feeling. Respect other peoples opinions, stop forcing your opinions on other people and the world will be a happier place.
  • I was told it is exactly the same contract. It just seems so cheap, I think I need to get there tomorrow. Just wondering how long you would expect a reconditioned phone to last though.

    it will include BIS as you cant sell a BB on contract without it as its a breach of Blackberry sales conditions, besides that the browser for internet is sent over the BIS connection
