ok so does anyone here know someone that can do this?!?!

From what I have been able to find, I wouldn't say it's legal but the law about cloning was made a long time ago when cloning was done for illegal reasons (making long distance calls on another's account, hijacking phone calls) so if it is done for personal use and not used illegally there should be no issues and I have yet to find a case where someone was prosecuted for it. It's kinda like jailbreaking an iOS device or rooting an android device. You own the hardware and should be allowed to do as you wish (I believe it actually went to court and was ruled that jailbreaking is legal for that very reason).

All the above is how I understand it and could be completely wrong...

If you research this a little, it is not black on white that it is indeed legal.

8330 is not a phone which is not supposed to work, only the newer blackberries don't (just as the centro works).
So I have been told that the Sprint Tour 9630 will work on my plan without it messing up anything, or charging me the $10 fee. Can anyone please confirm this?
Thanks!
If you have my email PLEASE don't PM me :)

They are all pretty terrible.  People on our plan pretty much have the rumor touch, lg remarq, and the samsung seek.

Nobody is really thrilled with it, but they work.

Samsung Intrepid  is the only one on the list that's somewhat of a "smartphone" (Windows 6.5)

of course you can, they give you the free phone, you have option to do with it what ever you want.

Blackberry Tour 9630 is now being listed as "not compatible with your plan" (free and clear). any BBs  I  can still upgrade to?

i just "upgraded" from a centro to a samsung trender. it does pretty much all that i used my centro for but the screen is only touch so it actually works better for internet bec u can scroll up and down very easy and it has a bigger screen. it has a slide out keyboard

my centro  - the keys just stopped working on me in middle of nowhere, and this was on a "new" phone that i got just a few months ago after the last one also stopped working suddenly. so i decided it was time to change.

the touch screen is a bit annoying bec its easy to click on the wrong thing (i miss the stylus) and i dont really like that u have to slide a "button" to answer and end a phone call and also that i have to click on each message to reread it as opposed to just seeing the whole thread but other then that i like it.

it also helps that i can check my hotmail (which i couldnt on my centro) it also has facebook and twitter. i didnt check it out to see how well/fast it works, but in general the internet works at similiar speeds to the centro

they dont charge the $10 for it and it costed $30 with another 2 years and a one time upgrade/connection charge
