My tip is, Dont waste your money with Cricket.

Stop it Psxmoe.

I actually just sold one of mine to a guy. Here is the listing for it. I actually ended it early because we made a deal for $175

I have another with the same setup but the spacebar on the KB doesnt work. KBs and parts phones are a dime a dozen on ebay. Ill sell you my last one with that same setup as in that listing for 140. Ive still got to order a battery for it so it will come with a new battery and chargers. LMK. Here is the listing for it.

No offence at all Weedahoe, but I got mine for 114 with shipping. I just spent about 2 weeks waiting to find a good deal. I got the phone, the cradle, two batteries, the wall charger, a USB cord, two stylus, and all the original CDs and even the original box.

If you take your time and slowly go about looking for a PPC 6700 on ebay, especially watching the ones closing within an hour and sneak in there you should be able to get one somewhat cheaply priced. I spent about 2 weeks going each day and I would bid a max of 115 and wait until the close, then when I either lost that one or what ever I'd move on to another. Eventually I got someone that replaced their PPC 6700 with a HTC Touch and they were just getting rid of it. It's a little scuffed up but works just great.

One thing I will recommend is after you get, even if you reflash to a newer ROM, check your master settings in ##778 and take out the previous user's number and put in your own. It kinda effects the data connection and some other things if you are going to use it for wireless internet. Didn't know that until I changed it all. BECAREFUL WITH THOSE SETTINGS THOUGH!! Changing some of the settings in the ##778 menu can make your phone a brick if your not careful, based on what I've read on other posts. Most of the previous numbers were in the Security, NAM Settings, and all the MIP Profiles.

They all had the previous user's original number in there so I had to change them all to my number and the data connections started working and they actually sped up some.

No offense at all, my first phone I got for about 100 bux after getting outbid for a long time on several devices so I know the feeling.
