So, I’ve got a few things I will be posting about here in the next few days but I just have to post about this.
I have been with Sprint for over two years now, fulfilled my contractual agreement and put my phone on their seasonal standby so I could look elsewhere since they basically told me they couldn’t do anything for me. After looking at AT&T and their infamous iPhone, I decided to go back to Sprint. AT&T plans are ridiculous compared to what I pay at Sprint. So, I visit the Sprint store in Westminster mall and pick up a Blackberry Curve 8330 or something close (I cant remember the number nor do I care). I use it for a few days, it dies quickly and keeps locking up so I go back and find out I’ve got a bunch of programs running. Great, that’s my fault and let’s see if it gets better. It does, except for the battery part, which dies constantly, and the little sticker on it is red. Doesn’t red mean its been wet? I’ve had the phone for a few days at this point and say screw it – knowing it hasn’t been wet, or even scratched at this point!
Well lately, I’ve been getting these appointment notices or whatever you want to call them where it pops up and says “BBQ and Pool Party” – I don’t even know how to add notices, appointments or whatever else into this phone yet since I don’t use that feature. I let it go but this past Saturday, I get another one, “Jessica’s BBQ Party.” What the hell is this? I don’t know any Jessica’s except one and she surely wasn’t having a BBQ and/or pool party. The only thing that comes to my mind is this phone was refurbished and not completely cleared out before it was sold.
I wish there was a way to find out if this was a refurb that I bought AS NEW but I doubt there is. Guess that’s why I got a $100 mail in rebate, in addition to them trying to unload the older phones so they could bring out the new Curve.

I had this same exact thing happen with Cingular before they got bought out, sold me a phone it had all kinds of dirty text messages and crap in there between this guy and like three different girls.
Lucky guy.
