these deals arent for us RFD'ers.

They're meant for those that would have bought the phone regardless and leave their old gear sitting in the closet somewhere gathering dust.

As quoted from section 7.2 of the Program requirements (post #15 on page 1)


Canada isn't eligible... so don't waste your time.

Is there anything that is missing? Is there a Canadian variant of this promo? If not, the OP should update to indicate US Only

As an additional comment, I had a BB Torch 9800 and they quoted me $100 for it. I got it for free, and RIM had sent me $80, so I made $80 to buy the 9800. I doubt anyonre would pay $100 for it (I woulnd't). I was thinking of buying a Galaxy SIII for $159, this would have knocked $100 off that price...

Then why are Canadian service providers in the list? Heck even Sasktel is listed.

My wife said she saw this advertised at the telus store.

I emailed them to get an answer.
