the BlackBerry University Roadshow kicks off in the UAE

The BlackBerry Bus puts in an appearance at the Dubai Sevens Junior Rugby Tournament, as the BlackBerry University Roadshow kicks off in the UAE

 

Calling all UAE students - keep an eye out for the BlackBerry Bus on your campus from 27 January to 10 March as Research In Motion (RIM) brings the BlackBerry University Roadshow to the UAE!

 

The BlackBerry Bus will be visiting universities across the UAE packed full of fun activities, from a demo station kitted out with the latest BlackBerry® 7 smartphone range, an educational app developer area, a host of gadgets to try out and entertaining games and competitions for everyone. 

 

Students can play with the latest BlackBerry® smartphones and BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet, which are guaranteed to make life easier, from managing daily tasks to planning big adventures. And also try out the latest version of BlackBerry® Messenger (BBM™), which is a cost-effective way to keep in touch on-and-off the campus, whether you’re looking to keep tabs on assignments, course work or notes, or even collaborate with your friends on assignments while on the go. Never miss a beat with a BlackBerry smartphone in your pocket!

 

The BlackBerry Bus’ first stop was at the Rugby 7s ground this weekend for the Dubai Seven’s Junior Rugby Tournament. More than 700 people jumped on board to check out the latest BlackBerry devices and participate in ‘the fastest QWERTY typer’ competition for valuable prizes.
