We all have those – uh no moments – defined as the period of time from you feel the BlackBerry being un-hooked from your belt and hearing the first splash of water. In that split second you have to make a decision. Fish it out. File an insurance claim.

If your BlackBerry took a swim and refuses to come to life – how about this old (but workable) 7290. It’s unlocked and comes without the need for a pesky contract. If you’re on a GSM carrier (in the US that means T-Mobile or AT&T) this BlackBerry will work just fine. Sure, it’s not that sporty but it will save over $500 that a new replacement BlackBerry will cost.
