still don't own it

Sounds plausible in that why would VRZ chase any potential customers away, except wherein they could earn a little more [lose a little less] on the backside from the phone manufacturers.
I might try a troll-by the bay.

Update:
I'm finding that either Flea-bayr's won't disclose ESNs or , in the case of a few Craiglisters, I did get an ESN from one who was selling an "unopened-NIB" [guy said he has 5 to sell].
Chkd, and VRZ says its a good except that its from an unpaid account and as such, it won't be allowed into the n/w.
Called the seller back and he was baffled.
I asked him to call VRZ and have them call me to let me know it is will be allowed into the n/w. Never called back.
Didn't think I'd have this much trouble.

Hi I bought mine from Ebay ($280) about three months ago, I m living in Colombia, so also bought one of the IMEI unlocking code that you can also find in ebay for 12 box. The phone is working great, I can put it in GLOBAL or in GSM/UMTS, but I think is better the last one couse of battery. The only problen that I got was and issue with 3g, not the same frecuency too bad... and also there is and strange text message incomming like every hour from network and says "Estamos contigo", and thats the slogan from my actual carrier tigo... Still can find a way too fix that...

So as you can see, this phone can actually work in other carrier!

Thank you.
Because of its potential dual band use, I think its a safe bet for me, however, to use it on the Verizon n/w, the ESN must be in 'good standing' w/ Verizon. If not, then only a part of its potential will be usable for me on AT&T or some other GSM provider.

Not to mention, if you ever go to upgrade and sell it, you rule out anyone that wants to use it on Verizon if the ESN is bad.
