I'm selling my work Bold BB (current model) and need to get it unlocked etc. I'm planning a trip down to Chinatown at lunchtime to get this done (not joking) but what actually needs doing on it?
Because it's a VF company 'phone, obviously it's locked to VF but when I got it, even before I got the Enterprise activated etc., it wouldn't allow me to set-up my own personal e-mail account on there. So does anything special need doing or do I just need to ask them to unlock the 'phone etc.?

just ask them to unlock it. Probably wipe all settings before hand too

9780 is the new Bold. Surely you should know that
9700s go for about £115 on recycling sites so I would say tops £150 ince mint condition with all accessories etc.
I'm gunna sell up I think too
