Fooled you, didn’t I :)


Fooled you, didn’t I :)

Yesterday I had big fun with Jan Willem. I came up with a nice idea to fool my business partner Boris.

When Boris and I were at Nextfest in New York last week we fell in love with the new Blackberry model: The Blackberry Pearl. We had a competition going on on who would be the first to have one.

So yesterday I was talking about the blackberry pearl and I had a real size flyer of it in my pocket of my suit (I took it with me from Nextfest). So I made a picture of the flyer in my hand and put it on my blog. I knew that Boris would go crazy :)

And he did! I ruined his week :) .

Hope this will make you a lot better Boris: There is no Blackberry Pearl to be found in Spain.

There we go: Number 1. No doubt about it is the Blackberry Pearl. Right now I have a Treo 650 with crashing software, poor synchronization (let me rephrase that: No synchronization) a battery time of less then a day, lousy interface and usability and I can go on for a while. The Blackberry Pearl is THE email and photo phone I need to have with all features I need: great email handling, great synchronization, long lasting battery time, photo camera oh and don’t forget it fits my style :) . Everyday, I hope someone grabs my Treo and smashed it into the ground (or throw it in the Amstel river) and replaces it with a Pearl! (Yes you can film it and publish it on YouTube) Price: 399 euros [...]
