For Selfridges’ 100th birthday, BlackBerry created 10 limited edition mobile phones. However, they sold out so quickly that the company has made one more.
All people who are interested in the Selfridges BlackBerry are told to leave their information and on the last day of May, a name will be drawn. The great part is that you would think it’s a draw to win the phone. No, no, you’re just winning the chance to buy the phone.
BlackBerry has some serious buying power, and Selfridges was smart to get on board!
