As some may know, I'm moving to Sao Paulo next June. My current contract with Fido ends in a month and my current phone is a total piece. I want to bring a new Blackberry or I-phone to Brazil next year.

Has anyone had experience moving with a phone like this? I imagine I could unlock it in Brazil? I suppose I should call Fido to see if they have any arrangements with Brazilian cell phone companies, but I do it.

The only thing I could think of is signing a contract, getting the phone, using it here for 6 months and seeing if anyone wants to take over the contract.

Does anyone have any good recommendations on places to get these phones other than the obvious stores for $700? Perhaps a good, refurbished one or something? Does anyone know anyone selling them?

Thanks
