Free Blackberry Pearl Mobile Phone - Thanks!!!

Having lost my Blackberry Curve mobile phone last month, Audrey from PR firm LEWIS has kindly given me another Blackberry mobile phone as a replacement - only this time it’s the sexay Blackberry Pearl model as part of the celebrity blogger seeding program.

This coming 2 days after receiving a LG touchscreen phone KF700 made me see the world of difference between PR agencies.

When I went to collect the LG phone, they were not really interested in me. I was made to wait in the reception area, and then some lady who had no idea who I was came out to ask me to sign a few papers. Following that she gave me the phone and showed me to the door.

Compare that with Audrey from LEWIS who met up with me at Spinelli’s, made sure I got the Blackberry Pearl phone working, showed me how to use it and gossiped for a bit with me.

I guess some PR agencies do get the point of reaching out to bloggers after all.

Perhaps the fact that they were giving you the phone the LG lady was expecting you to kiss her ass instead?

Well, I think the lady helping you with the LG phone just did not like you… maybe it was a she-man! Your type I have heard!?!?!? The lady with the Blackberry phone was trying to get your phone number to meet up with you later for a cup of coffee… and… I am sure it was on the forms you completed… enjoy!

I think the basic thing they can do is to show us how to use the phone. It is a must

it’s not abt reaching out to bloggers.

it’s abt the difference btw a good PR agency and a bad one.

how u approach ppl to help u spread the word abt ur brand is how ppl will feel abt u and ur brand. if u dont bother and act lansi, of coz ppl lazy wanna care abt u also lar.

stop thinking it’s all abt being special to bloggers.
