Umm, have you read all the replies calling the OP a bull sh***er!

[Nick Spagnolo]

I've been fortunate enough to receive a VIP invite and discount code from John Chen to purchase the PRIV ! I won't specify exactly how much of a discount I'm entitled to, but it's definitely substantial enough to convince me to buy the Priv. I was on the fence due to the $899 CAD price tag, but now I can buy one without breaking the bank.

I wonder what "delivered with white glove service" means? But it sure sounds good!

Thank you BlackBerry and thanks John Chen!

Yes

This fricken CB10 doesn't allow me to view his profile.

Still a positive thread.

Just because there are Naysayers trolling doesn't mean it's a bad thread.

If it's true be happy for him. Let's see if he post in the future. That is the key. Maybe after the dust settles he will post a follow up?

Pretty strange that a VIP would use a red Q5 and also know the version and care enough to quote the OS version.

Posted via CB10

Pretty strange, if you read my posts in other threads you would know I also had a Passport that I sold for $500 last week to offset the cost of the Priv and that the Q5 is my back-up device that I bought from the Marketplace from Dallin Crump !

I guess instead of being happy for others, some forum members are just jealous ! Lol. It's ok, I would be too if I were you!

Why wouldn't I post in the future ? I've been a forum member for few years. We all know this place is full of jealous, envious naysayer trolls who are just upset they didn't get an invite! Lol.

Is this 'Chen' that is inviting you and giving you a huge PRIVilege discount is coming from Nigeria?

Posted via CB10

Nope, came from John Chen directly

I also received a VIP discount and can confirm the price is $599 CAD after discount.

Chen himself will be presenting the phone to me over an 8 course dinner at Waterloo HQ. They're even paying for my flight and accommodations. Thanks Chen, you rock!

Wow! I guess you're a VVIP (Very, very important person) ? Lol.

I'm on your side.

There is no way for me to know who you are on CB10's mobil app. (one of my bitches) So how do I know who you are?

Good on you to be so lucky

Heard the fable of the Fox and the grapes?

TL;DR: If you can't have it it means it's B/S.

People are just envious.

Go Bruce Wayne and his VIP access! Go get em Privs!

Thanks Usman! I would prefer to keep that confidential, but let's just say I have a really good connection and don't want to compromise that relationship.

For what it is worth if you just wrote this instead of "not going to tell" then you would surely have gotten more positive responses.

No, I am not jealous; it's just a perk of your job and you are not the only one to get this same "VIP treatment". I mean, are you jealous of airline attendants because they get free or discounted tickets from other airlines?

Anyways, as a long term BlackBerry user I am sure you will the Priv the proper review that us diehards are waiting for. Can't wait to read it.

A friend at BB tells me this invite is going out to all registered PlayBook owners.

No, I did not read your posts since I was using the app. No I am not jealous either. Good for you. You must have some position that causes BlackBerry to think that you might buy more devices now or in the future or be influential .

I am not an early buyer and would never be first in line any way.

Do discounts stack?

Storm>PlayBook>Z10...... the thing will almost be free.


Congrats OP! I said it in another post, think giving away (or discounting) these might be a very smart marketing move.

You have a company using BES with 100 licenses... sending them five free phones might help sell 95 PRIVs.

Off to BBM my friend with a PlayBook...

I hope Classic owners get one too. I just bought my Classic and it's not even a year, but if there's a discount I don't mind decomm-ing it earlier.

[quorky]

Spent over 3k with them over the last year on phones for family and all... def would love a discount.
