NOTES:
Alright, so heres the deal. I've had this phone for a long time, and it now has some issues.

For physical condition refer to the photos. I will inform you that it has been equipped with a invisible sheild its entire life, and that does have scratches, but underneith the protecter is mint perfect shiny plastic. Protected areas are the SCREEN+AREA UNDER KEYBOARD. You will notice the keys have been worn down abit, and the chrome siderails show wear.

ACTUAL ISSUES:
1: The phone doesn't like to charge, the USB port in the phone must be loose because the only way for the phone to actually charge is if pressure is applied to the cable pushing it down (making proper contact). Common issue on 88x0's. Good news is once you rig it up to charge, let it sit overnight, it lasted me 3 days per charge. If you can find a charge stand that uses the two copper contacts on the side of the phone this entire issue would be resolved.

2. Microphone seems to be weak. You have to somewhat raise your voice for the other person to hear you clearly, dunno if shits gotten in the hole, or if its software related (some people seem to think some distro's of the OS are better than others for this common issue). Still works, just not too great.

3. Hasn't got that blank TELUS SIM card installed, I don't think it needs it to work though. Pretty sure these phones are already unlocked for use on GSM networks overseas.

4. Dust seems to have gotten under the screen a pinch, never really bothered me.

GOOD?!
Well the phone is physically in not bad shape, could use a new keyboard, it wont bother anybody who can look at the screen while typing. Screen is mint, battery holds a great charge, its got a fairly new trackball installed. This phone could be great for just somebody who wants a phone for texting/email, or just for parts. Comes with the box and charger and some other shit. Could be a good buy for somebody who just could use another charger+battery.

If you have any questions you can send me a PM or text/call me at 403.869.SIX522

That is a hell of a price! I will verify that the GSM is unlocked once you leave North America.

I'm fairly certain that they are, but they're unable to work on our local gsm networks. Cdma only for na.

Lots of interest, going to part out the phone (lol). Trackball+retainer ring+battery are somewhat called for, I think somebody needed a side rail, let me know!
