Hi,

I read here that phones brought not from vodafone may not have certain features available, that Vf brought phones do have..

Can anyone tell me what i could be missing out on?

Thanks,

zocster

Only the latest models like the 9900, where there is the ability to get up to H+ frequencies (4G).

Where branded like bell, rogers, tmobile handsets can, non branded like vodafone hasn't.

Oops I misread.

This is only the 2nd Blackberry handset I bought from a store.

You're not missing much.

okk,,, little confused by your reply (thanks though!)

Are you saying there wont be much difference? I think i remember reading that if your handset wasnt brought from VF, you couldnt reg it to their network? (or something along those lines?)

Sorry to confuse you. As long as the handset is unlocked, and the BIS has been terminated from previous carrier (if this was second hand), then you should be fine.
