I have a co-worker that wants to sell me her BB Bold (new- still in the box) for $225. I have a Curve 8310. Is it worth it?

Worth it?? Heck yeah it's worth it. Have you priced these new?

You should take into consideration; locked to a particular carrier? was it really really brand new in box when she got it or possibly a refurb unit?

Know what you're getting.....check out this FAQ, as some of the points still apply even with a friendly transaction.

I agree that it's worth it. You could then always sell your 8310 to get back some of the money. Think of it as a mail in rebate

If you have a chance to inspect the device and it is new, and you trust the seller, it's a good deal.

just don't let on how MUCH of a good deal it is....she could revoke her offer and put it up on ebay! unlocked Bolds are going for anywhere from $500-$700!!!

To you? How can we answer that question? If you don't know then check out its features at Blackberry.com. As others have said, you can compare pricing on ebay to get a rough idea of what they're selling for.

A littler perspective: I just bought a Bold brand new, locked for at&t and paid $100 more than what your co-worker is asking, and that's with a 2-year contract.

You, however, would be paying $100 less and not having to extend your contract. To me, that would definately be worth it. I would take it without thinking twice.

But that's just me.
