Want a Free iPhone?
The iPhone, upon release, has been a great hit in the United States, and experts expect it will hit Canada before Xmas. It will probably be #1 on people’s Xmas lists! However there is a way to get it before that, because internet marketing blogger Gary Lee is giving away a free iPhone (visit this link to see how you can win) as part of his blog promotion scheme. According to Gary, the prize include a Brand New 8GB Apple iPhone + Fancy iPhone Bag that it came in + Free Shipping anywhere in the world (that fedex delivers to). It’s still sealed and in pristine condition!
A short note on Gary - he not only runs his blog, but he also runs a golf equipment website called bunker’s paradise (check it out if you golf), and has some sort of connection with PinkDeals.net which offers free online coupons and discount codes for various services.
There is the iPhone, in case you wanted to look at it and drool for a few minutes. Although the iPhone does sell in the USA, it’s still not in Canada (which is where the majority of my readers come from, according to Google Analytics), and this should be a great opportunity to get one before everybody else.
“this should be a great opportunity to get one before everybody else.”
Not that it would be much use without any service :P.
It is GSM though, so if someone figures out how to unlock it you might be able to use it with Rogers (except the data features; even if you managed to get them to work the cost would be insane). Or maybe get a sim-card from Verizon, and use it as a camera and iPod?
There’s always ways to crack a GSM phone and integrate it into the network.. but you may have a valid point about the data transfer fees for this monster.
I think some hackers have managed to get it working on other networks now, won’t be long before they have this available as some easy download.
We are still waiting patiently in the UK to find out when it is being launced here.
There are stores run by hackers who specifically crack phones from abroad. It became an industry in its own due to the slow introduction of new fancy phones in Canada… Phones from Korea, Japan and Europe are constantly being cracked and used on our networks here.
