Get Nectar points when you buy a BlackBerry!
You know you are getting old when you derive pleasure from accruing reward card points with a supermarket. Fortunately, I didn’t derive any pleasure as such, but am doing from letting our UK readership that you can both accrue points, AND get some BlackBerry goodness at the same time!
Nectar (which is a consortium of retailers in the UK, who have a common reward card system) have emailed me to say that if you get any BlackBerry on a UK network, with a 24 month voice and data tariff, they will give you 2000 Nectar points (once you have registered the purchase with them).
Unfortunately it’s not 2000 pounds, but hey, it’s a good deal if you have intentions of getting a BBerry soon – and let’s face it, that could easily be the case if you are eyeing up the BB Bold, as I am ….
If you wanna check out the offer, go here and login to your Nectar account.
Ben is a 10+ year veteran of the Mobile industry – starting his career
when SMS was a still a relatively new concept for most people (!), he has
now consulted on everything from bleeding-edge Mobile content, to the
next-gen accessories you might view it on. As a result he has a broad and deep knowledge in numerous areas of Mobile – from network operators to device vendors, to infrastructure and middleware vendors (not to mention content delivery) – and has worked for companies in all of these areas!
He is based in the UK, a hotbed of activity for mobile, and recently
became a father for the second time – as oppose to in his younger years
when he was happy spend time tweaking all manner of mobile devices to
'nth' degree, he now looks for services and hardware that provide the most efficient, compact, and reliable improvements to his already manic life! It’s his opinion that Mobile solutions should be there to help to make
your life better – if a particular solution (be it service or device)
isn’t doing this, he believes you need to ask the very important question
of why you continue to use it...
His focus at IntoMobile is mainly on Mobile content, services, and
infrastructure, particularly as regards the UK market – and with the
occasional look at devices. Additionally, using his extensive experience
in the industry, he will provide commentary on the industry at large, with
regular (and hopefully thought-provoking) articles.
