Blackberries and Pizza

By way of background for the technology impaired, a Blackberry is an essential tool in the wireless world. It started out as a souped up pager, but it morphed over time into a way to get your EMail wherever there is a signal -- which is everywhere. The latest incarnation includes a phone, of course, in a very sleek package. Personally, I drew the line on the other side of the Blackberry a long time ago. I just don't need to be any more connected, thank you.

What does that have to do with pizza? It's hard for me to believe this isn't a joke of some kind, but apparently you can get the latest in Blackberry technology by supersizing it at Papa John's Pizza
For a limited time, get a FREE* BlackBerry 7100GTM (after rebate) wireless handheld with integrated cell phone, email, SMS text messaging, web browsing and personal organizer (a $349.99 value).

Just add any Papa John's side item and two 20-oz. beverages to your online order to get this great offer.
Hmm. I still don't think this offer is going to cause me to get a Blackberry. I don't like 20oz drinks that much.

Blackberry ... and I thought pineapple pizza was exotic!

Seriously, though, note the asterisk next to the word FREE ... refers to the following:

"Consumers will commit to a new 2 year voice and data service agreement for $74.98 per month."

That's 74.98 x 24 = $1,799.52 ... that's different from FREE. Indeed rather pricy in my book; can you still get a 20 oz drink and NOT have to take the Blackberry?
