This seems to be very good mid-range phone for $300. Amazon is also showing this phone now and then @ $289 but the price is fluctuating several times a day and inventory goes out of stock temporarily. I was lucky to get it PM for $289 at Staples.

- Given it is just 3-4 months old phone and Blackberry is reputed for its commitment to security.
