Anyone ever buy a refurb cell phone? I want a blackjack but they are $200 and im coming home tommorow to get a new phone (2.5hrs drive home im nuts). My moms upgrading our phones and im not sure i want a new razr. I was thinking a black jack because they are pimp and im a rather hardcore text messager and I would use it basiclaly like a PDA also. So anyone should I stay away from it?

I have a Razr and I have a warranty on it. I broke it and Cingular sent me a refurbished Razr as a replacement. I've had it about a year now with no problems.

Does it have any damage or could you tell it was refurbed?

Are you buying it refurbished from your cell phone provider, or somebody else, or what?

My boyfriend bought a Motorola SLVR off of Cingular's website about 8 months ago, refurbished. The only time it's ever given him problems was after he dumped it into a cup of water on his cousin's boat cause he was drunk. Go figure, LOL.

^^ So true, haha.

Anyhoo, I can vouche for the refurbished ones off Cingular's website. I think you'll do okay.

im not a fan of the mouse ball selector thing in the middle of the phone. it seems a bit flimsy to me. i personally dont own one but i've messed around with it and i wasnt a huge fan..also with the blackjack i was told you need a media plan thing in addition to your regular service.

Refurbs are fine they are basically all new internals but they have to say refurbed for legal purposes.
