Free Blackberry with Pizza?!?
Yes, that’s right.
Papa John’s Pizza is offering a free Blackberry with your on-line pizza order. According to the ad, if you “Just add any Papa John’s side item and two 20-oz. beverages to your online order” they’ll give you a free (after rebate) Blackberry. Some restrictions apply, like signing a two year contract, but, honestly, the contract doesn’t look too bad for what you get:
Consumers will commit to a new 2 year voice and data service agreement for $74.98 per month which will consist of an email data plan at $34.99 per month plus a voice plan for $39.99 which includes 450 anytime minutes, plus 5000 night and weekend minutes and mobile to mobile unlimited calling. Customer will pay $150.00 and will receive a $150.00 Mail-In Rebate with the device. Offer may vary by market and is contingent upon service provider credit. See order page for complete details. Not valid for upgrades. Offer good only in the USA and may not be available in all markets. Early Termination fee applies. Activation fee and applicable taxes extra.
Anyway, it struck me as interesting enough to pop another Friday message at you. Enjoy!
Blackberries are everywhere. I was late to catch on. Can’t justify one for myself. Just another neat toy.

Yeah, I have a PalmIIIc and a *nice* cell phone, so it’s a little over-kill for me. But, it still strikes me as funny that such a “once-upon-a-time” piece of high-end electronics is a giveaway with pizza. The future is now!
