Do you live in some non American country say India or Philippines and want to post an ad on craigslist but are not able to do it because before creating your ad, craigslist is asking for phone verification which should be only US based ? well there are few ways through which you can get craigslist phone verified accounts. Here are them -

Blackberry Screen Fade Problem
This is a very common problem with Blackberry when the color of display screen gets faded and the color either disappears or gets very dim, I am not sure what causes it but it seems it happens because of humidity i.e. moist air going under the screen which caused white spots on the screen and changes colors.
There is no easy solution for this unfortunately, if you have bought it from verizon/At&T or any other service provider, tell them to change it. For those people who are using unlocked blackberries like many in India, find nearby blackberry service cneter or find anyone who is selling the mobiles and ask them to change the display.
