It’s sad when people fight, but when corporations do, the consumer can end up being the real winner. BlackBerry CEO John Chen called out<\/a> T-Mobile, referring to an ad campaign as anti-BlackBerry for daring to suggest BlackBerry customers might want to trade their handsets in. Never mind that every company is basically doing trade-in offers, right?<\/p>\n T-Mobile, a company that has been less than shy as of late, has responded by making the sort of promotion<\/a> Chen was accusing it of having: one specifically targeting BlackBerry users. Starting today, February 21, you can bring in any working BlackBerry and get a $200 credit towards the smartphone of your choice. Unless, of course, you choose a BlackBerry Z10 or Q10; then, you get a $250 credit. This puts the lie to BlackBerry’s claims of T-Mobile treating the one-giant Canadian company as a lesser choice.<\/p>\n
