Please don't kill me for question: Would this work with T-Mobile prepaid? Would it make sense with prepaid?

Yes it will work with prepaid. Would make sense from a texting standpoint but not from a Blackberry email standpoint because that won't work with prepaid.

It's a great deal and I don't think it will work with prepaid. I'm guessing deffinately not the internet.

Might be a good idea to get a proper plan before upgrading to a blackberry..

TigerDirect has a separate section for refurbished product. LINK

Anything not in there is new.

Man, we're basically junking all 72xx series from my work!

You can get a much better deal on eBay.

Popothegreat said:Cheapest Blackberry 7290 New on eBay is $89.95 so not sure where you get this information from.

Cheapest price on eBay is $50, of which there are many - and there are tons at the $60 range.

7290 is the worst and most unreliable model they ever made...since I've been supporting starting from the 6230/7230 models and up.
