I just got my invitation for the NY event from my Cingular Rep. Im excited to go. How did it work last year with the 8700 launch party? When they gave out the free 8700 did you need to sign up for new service with them?
My blackberry is currently on Verizon but I do have a Cingular line with my blackjack. I guess worst case I could slap my blackjack sim into the new Bberry if thats the special gift.

I am def going to call my rep right now. I will report back.
Hopefully I can get invited....

Now, if I can work this out...want to set up a place to meet fellow BBforum users?
SF location I am talking about.

[moosehead]

Ok i'm jealous.....gggrrrr

[Jeff H]

Remember; you are me at the event. NR

[BBChristopher]

Well, I tried to work some magic and get invited, but I don't know if it worked.
I am waiting for an email back. We'll see. I will let you know, and if it works out, lets meet up at the event somewhere.

I am in the Bay Area. I'll check with my Cingular Rep too however I will be surprised if I am able to get an invite. I don't think they would hand those out to anyone that asks...

[Dude]

Had to sweat for a few days, but got my invite today!

There will be a Chicago event as well.

According to my Cingular rep, the Chicago event will be on February 28th from 8:30am - 12:00pm. The events won't be exactly the same - - the Chicago event is in the early morning and it sounds like the Chicago attendees won't receive a "special thank you gift".

The invite for the NY/SF event:

You are invited to join Research in Motion® and Cingular, now the new AT&T, as we reveal new solutions for enterprise productivity and extend the service, expertise and applications that you have come to expect from us.

Register now and attend to receive a special thank you gift from BlackBerry® and Cingular.

And the invite for the Chicago event:

You are invited to join Research in Motion® and Cingular, now the new AT&T, as we reveal new solutions for enterprise productivity and extend the service, expertise and applications that you have come to expect from us.

Mark February 28th, 2007 on your calendar.

Register by February 16th and be entered into a drawing to win a free BlackBerry® device with accessory package.

Good gift = a nice...new 8800
Bad gift = a party bag of useless vendor junk

[richard371]

We will know tonight what the NY people get.

[Entropy666]

What was the gift for the 8700 launch?

[Stinsonddog]

Gift for the 8700 launch was an 8700 - came after even in a very cool, very nice black leather valet with a place for a pic on top. There should be a pic in an old thread here.

[Entropy666]

Were you required to sign up for service to get the free blackberry? Who else is coming to the launch party in NYC tonight? What do they do for 3 hours?

No but they were locked to Cingular. Presumed you are a loyal customer to get the invite in the first place.
