Maybe this is old news to everyone, but I just saw it in the Wall St. Journal this morning. Apparently, if you rent a car from AVIS, they give you a free BlackBerry. It looks like the 6750. Apparently you complete 1 rental agreement, get the BB have to pay a $35 activation fee and then the unlimited e-mail of $29.99/month contract for a year or a $200 early term fee. Does not say who the provider is, but I have to assume Verizon, Sprint, or Earthlink. I doubt Verizon because they don't have $29.99 unlimited data unless this is a special deal.

Sorry if this is old news.

It's a 6710. GSM/GPRS.

Interesting - do you know who the provider is? T-Mo?

edit: If I had been a little more observant, I would have looked at the picture more closely and seen GPRS under the signal meter and not 1X.

I checked the Avis web site and it said 6710 on it It says you have to sign a 12 month agreement, but not with who!

This also works with Avis Canada, you get a 6750 from Bell but have to sign up for the unlimited plan.

The one I saw did not give the device number and in fact even said 'device subject to change'. Did not really seem like that good of a deal to me.

I noticed this today also. The free colour bb from telus seems better.
