Shaun,

Do you already have a Blackberry enabled account? I had problems buying
a 2nd hand Orange BB to use with my standard O SIM.

Tried to register the BB, the site said it was already registered to
another user. Asked the seller to unregister it, then I got some other
error which escapes me now.

Orange were no help at all and refused to help. I thought it would just
be a case of adding a product like any other (data, fax etc), but they
told me it couldn't be done and you'd only get a BB ready SIM by buying
one with a new BB. Spoke to about 5 CSR's at the time but they didn't budge.

They've effectively ruined the market for second hand Blackberry's..
Don't know if this was just an Orange thing or what.

Of course.. If you're using a Blackberry already, you may be fine!
