Any way to connect a contemporary Blackberry sold by Sprint?

Son replaced, after a few weeks, his brand-new Sprint Blackberry with a better one and had to keep his old one. (Long story. Don't ask!) Is there any way I could have that first Blackberry connected to my Verizon account?

Unfortunately you cannot. Verizon Wireless will not activate a Blackberry from another carrier.

really no way to have it activated. You can have it flashed and unlocked but even then you will only get voice and text. Not really worth it for a blackberry.
