New AT&T Customer, need help please
I am going to buy the blackberry curve or pearl as a new customer probably in the next day or so.
Then I will buy an iphone, hook that up and sell my blackberry on ebay to make a few bucks.
At this point, is my blackberry locked? unlocked? Do I have to remove my SIM card??
I am currently a Verizon customer and am not familiar with the whole SIM card and locked/unlocked phones.
Help would be appreciated.

Your blackberry will only be locked to the AT&T network. Anyone with an AT&T or Cingular sim card can use your phone. When you switch to the iPhone, its goign to come with a new sim card. So you dont have to switch ur sim, but if you sell it blackberry, you will want to remove your sim card before you sell it!

Thanks for the info!
So the SIM card in the blackberry will have personal information linked to me or something - even if I only had it for 1 day before switching to the iphone?
Is the SIM card worth anything or do I just basically hang on to it / throw it away?
thanks again!

Once the SIM is active then deactive it will never work again feel free to throw it away or leave it in the phone, it won't do anything. as long as you don't put any of your personal info on the device your fine.
...
How much are you buying the blackberry for? Where are you buying it at? How much are you expecting to sell it for?
...
I probably won't make much but maybe I can make $50 off of the deal or something. its not gaurenteed but it cant hurt.

You can throw the sim card away. Once you activate the iPhone's sim card, the original will be permanently disabled. It is basically useless.
...
So in order to get a mail in rebate the phone must still be active or something? So even if I decide to keep this blackberry curve for a backup incase anything happens to my iphone, it doesnt matter - I wont get the mail in rebate because I switched to the iphone?
Please explain and thanks again!

For all PDA devices, you need to sign up for a data service. For the blackberry it is a minimum 29.99 a month. If you sign up for it, send the rebate in, and get the iphone a week later, you will no longer have that blackberry package on your account you will have the iphone data and won't get the rebate back.
You could keep the curve as a back up or possible sell it and break even. You may want to take advantage of our 50% promo we're having on the blackjack II since youe xpressed interest in it. You could walk out the door with it for $175 no catches and probably turn around and sell it for profit, but this is a short promo that ends I think on christmas day.
