Verizon customers are already aware that their favorite carrier is currently running a BOGO promotion when it comes to RIM smartphones. Choose any BlackBerry, except for the Tour, and Verizon will offer another one for free. Sure you’ll have to get a new contract but hey, a free phone is a free phone after all. The flyer below happens to suggest that the Storm 2 will also be included in this promotion. Verizon isn’t saying anything official yet but you’d have to admit that the thought of you walking away with the BlackBerry Storm 2 for the price of one this Christmas is pretty sweet. We’ll gladly confirm everything soon since Verizon is supposed to sell the Storm 2 by the end of November.

We’ve heard a lot about Microsoft’s retail locations but what we haven’t heard is a Windows 7 cafe right smack in the middle of Paris. Lucky for those of you who happen to love Windows and cafes, it was recently announced that on October 22nd Microsoft will be opening just that, a Windows 7 cafe on 47 Boulevard Sebastopol in Paris.
Of course, if you want to get down on the coffee, pastries, Xbox and Windows action, you better do so soon after October 22nd as it will only be open for a few weeks after

Just a few days ago we showed you the promotional video that leaked of LG’s New Chocolate BL20. Well today, live shots of the device have surfaced and we must say, it ain’t half bad lookin’.
What’s funny is LG has yet to officially announce this device however, I don’t think there are to be any more questions regarding whether or not it exists. Capiche?
Hit the read link for a few more live shots.

Sprint has come up with quite the incentive — It seems that the carrier will offer those who port their numbers from another carrier and purchase a Palm Pre with a 2-year contract $100 worth of service credit.
Before you get too excited, know that Sprint has already pulled this promotion saying it was “put into the system in error”. However, those who purchased a Palm Pre during the promotion will be rewarded with the $100 worth of service credit.
Perhaps we will see this promotion resurface at some point in the near future?

TomTom has recently released the above video to hype consumers of their forthcoming iPhone car kit bundle. This kit is for use with the TomTom GPS iPhone app that recently hit the App Store for $100.
As you can see, this bundle will give the iPhone’s GPS a boost while also charging the device in the windshield mounted dock. Add that to the dock’s built-in microphone for hands free calling and the ability to play music out of you car’s speakers and you have yourself a deal.
Unfortunately, we still have no word of a release date or price for the bundle.

Remember Verizon’s BOGO program? Well then you’ll be more than happy to know the promotion is back. And the whole deal has just gotten better. It’s not BOGO anymore but BOGA! That means you can buy a BlackBerry from Verizon and get anything else for free. You can choose from netbooks and mobile devices so you should definitely check it out.
The new promo applies to any BlackBerry you can think of that’s available from Verizon. Once you buy one you’ll be able to choose another BlackBerry, a netbook, a PC card, USM modem or a MiFi. The promotion will run through October 10 so you have plenty of time to decide what combination to chose.

Earlier today we let you know that Amazon.com was holding a sale that had the Palm Pre up for just $199. Well now we’ve been notified that LetsTalk has the phone up for just $99.99 with a 2 year contract. Of course, you’re going to have to mail-in a $100 rebate but who cares, it’s cheaper than anywhere else.
Anyways, for those looking to get in on Palm’s come-back device, this is a perfect opportunity as this promotion will only run for a limited time.

What do you say Alltel subscribers? Ready for some good old Back to School promotion from your favorite carrier? Well get this! Alltel is ready to offer you three months free of charge for every new line you get. The promotion is available in the 91 markets where Verizon has to divest so not everyone will be able to take advantage of the offer. Paul Bowersock, Senior Sales & Operations Leader for the Alltel Divesture Trust said that:
Alltel has always placed a special emphasis on keeping families connected, and with this Back to School promotion, the entire family can talk, text or surf the Internet for less money and enjoy more flexibility in their wireless experience.
From now until September 10 customers with “My Circle” plans, Smart Choice Packs and Bundled Wireless Internet plans. They can add up to four new lines with a $25 activation fee per line. Is that good enough for you?

It seems our buds over at Boy Genius Report have gotten their hands on a peice of Verizon Wireless promotional material that clearly states the BlackBerry Tour will hit the carrier on July 12th for $199.99 after a 2yr contract.
There’s really no telling if the advertisement if real or not as Verizon hasn’t released any official statement but it looks pretty legit to us.
Anywho, if you’re anticipating this phone mark July 12th on your calender just in case. Better safe than sorry, right?

It’s official, the Billion App Countdown promotion recently ran by Apple has come to an end. Apple seems very satisfied with the reception of the App Store, proudly announcing that over 1 billion apps have been downloaded in 9 months.
But who cares about that, right? Who won the MacBook Pro, $10,000 iTunes Giftcard, and 32GB iPod touch? No one yet; as you can see above Apple is telling everyone to come back to the announcement page “soon” to find out who won.
