How to sell cell phone on ebay

Moistener — Wed, 05 Sep 2007 17:40:18 -0800

I no longer need my near-new Motorola SLVR L7C from Cricket. I want to sell it on ebay, but what should(n't) I do to maximize the resale value? Should I unlock the phone via unlockitnow.com? If I do, how do I write my ebay listing? (Will it work on any CDMA network? Or will it only work on Cricket? Which are the CDMA networks?)

I'm looking for a little hand-holding here. I just want to sell this phone without pissing a) away my cash or b) off whomever buys it.

(whimpering thanks)

Seeking real Java software

How can I find real Java software for a Motorola SLVR L7? I've only ever seen stupid games. I need a PDF reader, a text editor, and a French-English dictionary, or else dictd and a dict client. Yes, I've used http://wap.lang2lang.com/main.php for the dictionary but its quite painful in Motorola's browser, and data has just become expensive for me.

As a separate matter, does anyone have any opinions about Symbian vs. Linux phones? I'd kinda like my next phone to run pdflatex and a spell checker.

Just got a Motorola SLVR, show me around!

So I got a new Motorola SLVR L7, what are some cool things I can do with it? Bonus points for OSX-Friendly apps/solutions. I'm talking apps, hacks, games, secret stuff here, you name it. My main machine is an Apple laptop, but I have access to an XP box during the day.

From what I understand, this phone works like the RAZR. My provider is Cingular, if that matters.
