To shut it off, you have to set up an online profile, open the phone to get the serial #, then manually go in and shut it off. And you can't do it from the BB, has to be done from a desktop. Not a big deal for someone who understands tech stuff like me, but I can see it being too much for someone who isn't used to it, so they might just leave it.

Interesting. I'm not all that computer literate myself, so I would probably never figure that out. My approach would be to bring it back to wherever I bought it and tell them to turn the goddamn advertising off, or keep the goddamn thing. Their choice.
