Well, it looks like T-Mobile is doing things right after the recent network outages and Sidekick issues that took place not too long ago! My friends over at CrackBerry informed me of a current promotion that’s taking place where current BlackBerry owners can receive $50 or more via mail-in-rebate for trading in their current device for a new BlackBerry! After grabbing the Curve 8900 back in April of this year, I was annoyed to find out about the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 being released just a few short months later. Being T-Mobile’s first 3G BlackBerry with OS 5.0, I just had to find a way to get my hands on it.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, since T-Mobile is offering a $50 discount on the Samsung Highlight, BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the Motorola CLIQ this Black Friday weekend, it would make sense to obtain the new Bold within these 3 days.
Let’s do the math, shall we?
| Bold 9700 (2 year contract or upgrade) Black Friday Promotional Discount Trade-In Value For Curve 8900 Total After Discounts and Promotions |
199.99 -50.00 -145.00 4.99 |
After all is said and done, and 2-4 weeks give or take on the rebate, my new Bold 9700 costs a whopping $5! Think I’m kidding? Head over to this site and see for yourself.
The promotional code is flip2blackberry.
