Yeah, sounds like a gimmick huh but we found this site that is giving away a free Blackberry 8110 pearl. I checked these guys out, and I see they gave five curves away last week. After talking to one of the cofounders, these guys have some big giveaways planned. Check them out here! and I would keep checking back on the site. They do have an RSS feed button. That may be worth a subscription.
I learned that the BlackBerry device is far superior than ever imagined. I mean absolutely amazing. The companies that were sponsoring the event beyond research in motion had a great plan. Showcase their technology to all those who would listen. And I was one interested in listening. I want to showcase a few of these applications and websites.
I got a chance to hang out with the owner of Pinstack.com. Pinstack is one of the better Blackberry blogs. He is an honest blog that reports the news from the BlackBerry community without all the kicks and giggles. He reports it but does not necessarily comment or give a sign of approval on the sites and applications. He lets the users do so. There is nothing wrong with either approach but everyone has thier preferred choice.
Also in attendance at WES was Crackberry.com. This site is a full fledged site for those who have Blackberries looking for good information and even buying applications and ringtones. Definitely a good daily read.
A brand new site was launched named Blackberryhomepage.com and guys its a great site. Now, it’s still new so bare with them. But these guys gave away 5 Blackberry curves. Count them. 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5. They posted a thread in Pinstack and it had over 11,000 replies and views in 5 days. Its a simple site that helps your beginner blackberry user learn what he is doing. I talked to these guys at length and did dinner several times during the week. Rumor has it they have alot more giveaways in store. I will be getting lots of insider information from these guys so stay tuned. If you want a Blackberry device or other things you may deem necessary, I would check this site daily. They are going to be a site to reckon with.
Coming up in the next few weeks you will see posts on software that you must have for your BlackBerry and other smartphones.
What a great question? It’s funny how people have their refunds spent before they have them in hand but thats what Americans do. Buy now and pay later. Now, I have been getting a large amounts of advice, counsel and suggestions about what I should do with my refund. They span from savings to setting up IRAs, mutual funds, stocks and bonds. Duly noted guys thanks!
However, when I look at the NFL schedule this weekend and realize that New England and Jacksonville are going to be playing and San Deigo and Indy along with the NFC beasts and then I glance over to my 16 inch “television” (the picture on the left)that will show these games I get disgusted. Do you know how it feels when nobody wants to come to your house to watch the games? Peyton Manning would be hurt. I am at the point where they don’t even ask around me. They make the plans and give me a courtesy email on my BlackBerry so I can feel like part of the group. In actuality they look at me as the guy with the poverty level TV. You know what? They are right. My tv needs to be stepped up. Its not like I have not tried. Oh, I have had plans for a new TV for a long time but emergency purchases come up. The wife needs a hair cut (every flipping week). She needs her nails done. (Who pays $45 for that?) The car needs brakes. The kids need to eat. All of these so called “must haves” have deprived me of my new “nicotine” as it were. I walk into best buy and let me tell you something. I am not alone. You know how many guys have that invisible bracelet around their neck?
You may not be able to see it but I do. But they see mine too. And every time we come close to that 60 inch plasma (picture on the right above) or LCD I get shocked. My wife could be in India or South Korea and if my left foot gets within ten feet of the Television section of Best Buy I am done.
She has plans for the refund this year. She sat down and calculated that it should be around 2,500. She has it all planned out. A family trip to Disney World for a week. Guess again sugar lips. Unless my new televisions name is “Mickey Mouse” and we rename our house the Magic Kingdom, there will be no disney trip. I’ll get the disney channel for the kids. Heck, even on demand disney. But this is a must have for me. I need my man hood back. She took it when she turns on Emerill or Oprah and expects me to watch it with her. Ok, fine compromises we make in marriage but there is no compromise here. My way or the highway. The best buy this year is my 60 inch. US Treasury don’t fail me now. Instead of direct depositing it in my account can you do it to my Best Buy Account or gift card? If you don’t, my wife somehow will see it and I am doomed like the last 6 years. You take my taxes out every week. You scare us with letters. Oh, Mighty IRS please deposit it to my Best Buy account. PLEASE!!!!!!! Gotta go. Wifey lurks.
I need to hear from all who can understand where i am coming from. Comment please.
