I currently have a blackberry 8900 which I have had since May 2009 on an 18 month contract with o2. I got it through CPW and have the geek squad policy but the problem is the trackball has gone really sticky and I have to press down really hard for it to respond which can get a bit painful if I'm using it for a while. I looked at the CPW website and they say Blackberry phones have to be sent off for repairs which could take a while so is it possible for me to just write it off and leave my contract and getting a new phone? I want a blackberry 9700 and am happy with o2 but if I did change what charges are likely to apply?
I may buy myself out as I havent got too long to go before it's due to end (4 months). If I buy it out do I still get to keep the phone? If so I could sell it to recoup some of the cash
