It looks like WireFly and the Discover BlackBerry website have a promotion going on where you get a $100 gift certificate for BlackBerry accessories for buying a BlackBerry online. Most of the the current BlackBerry models qualify for this offer with one notable exception. The BlackBerry 7130e, my personal favorite, is curiously missing from the line-up.
Some of the available models are free after mail-in rebates that you get for signing up to a service agreement with the respective service carrier.
$100 bucks will pretty much get you most any BlackBerry accessory that you want less maybe a Swarovski Crystal encrusted BlackBerry case. You should however, be able to get most other accessories such as “regular people” BlackBerry case, extended battery, or Bluetooth headset. etc.
If you run a small Novell GroupWise 7.0 shop, here is an offer that you don’t want to pass up.

It looks like we have stumbled upon a free BlackBerry contest where all you have to do is answer the following question:
“What single Technology has had the most profound affect on your work during your lifetime?”
Answers range from the personal computer to the Xerox machine. You can write your own answers in as well. For me, I wrote in the the personal space heater that does not cause the circuit breaker in the UPS under my desk to blow whenever I turn it on and set the fan to high.
The contest is being host by Cincom and all you have to do to have a chance at winning is answer the question and enter your name and email address in.
Good luck…
