Send a message of love with BlackBerry this Valentine’s Day

This Valentine’s Day, there can be no better way to share your love with the special person in your life than with a BlackBerry® smartphone.

You can use your BlackBerry smartphone to send and receive that loving message, browse the Internet to find the perfect romantic hot-spot, post messages to your social network and share photographs on Facebook® of the fun-filled time spent together.

If you’re looking for the perfect Valentine’s Day gift, there’s a chic range of BlackBerry smartphones available.

With BBM™ (BlackBerry® Messenger), the two of you can share pictures and text messages throughout the day if you’re both BlackBerry smartphone users. The use of BBM is included in your monthly BlackBerry® Internet Service fee, so you can flirt and chat to your heart’s content without worrying about running up your bill.

“I love using BBM to communicate to my loved ones all over the world on Valentine’s Day. It’s spontaneous, fun, and best of all, free-of-charge,” says TV and Radio Presenter, Jennifer Su.

It’s also easy to capture a special moment this Valentine’s Day on your BlackBerry smartphone’s digital camera and instantly share it with the rest of the family using email, MMS, or even posting it on Flickr®. Many BlackBerry smartphone models feature GPS navigation, meaning that you can easily find your way to that romantic picnic spot without needing to stop and ask for directions.

Morne Steyn, Springbok Fly-half states: “My BlackBerry makes it so much easier to stay in touch with my wife and loved ones, especially on this day of love. It enables me to have a chat with my wife to say how much I love her.”

To add that personal touch to your BlackBerry smartphone gift, you can customise it with numerous applications and themes available on BlackBerry App World™. Whether your loved one’s passion is for shopping, sport, cars, movies or nature, there’s a range of unique themes to totally change the look of the smartphone to suite his or her personality.

“The incredible thing about my smartphone is that I’m able to surround my husband with messages the whole day, using all the social networks I now have access to,” boasts television presenter, Christi Panagio.
