Contest: Win A LIVESTRONG Silicone Case For The BlackBerry 8500

by Leave a Comment

We missed the news last week that RadioShack hit the impressive “One Million BlackBerries Sold” mark, however, we are mentioning it now for two reasons.  First, doing anything over a million times, especially selling BlackBerry devices, as RadioShack has done, is a big deal.   Second, RadioShack has partnered with LIVESTRONG, Lance Armstrong’s foundation  and is donating a portion of the sales proceeds on all LIVESTRONG merchandise sold to cancer research, and, to help get the word out we are running little contest here on RIMarkable where you can win a LIVESTRONG Silicone Case for BlackBerry Curve 8500.

All you have to do for a chance to win a LIVESTRONG case for the BlackBerry Curve 8500 is:

Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8530 Now Available At RadioShack

by Leave a Comment

Word on the street is that RadioShack, or, The Shack, as they like to think of themselves these days, is now carrying the Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8530. You can pick it up for $29.99 on a new 2-year Sprint Everything plan with data or $49.99 on an upgrade.

This is a really good deal on a really good smartphone. It’s also one of the reasons that I am certain that Apple, with their current model of selling iPhones, will never dominate the U.S. smartphone market, although many an iPhone user already thinks Apple does… I digress, however, and will leave that for another post.
