BUSINESS BYTE: LIME keeps customers moving smarter with BlackBerry Z10

IMG_3819Roseau, Dominica – April 22nd, 2013 – LIME on Friday launched the new BlackBerry® Z10  smartphone powered by BlackBerry® 10, and announced that three lucky customers from across the region will be jetting off to see Alicia Keys’ SET THE WORLD ON FIRE concert in Prague, Czech Republic.

LIME debuted the BlackBerry Z10 at the official launch hosted at the LIME Retail Store in Roseau attended by corporate customers and other guests on Friday April 19th, and announced that the new smartphone would be available from LIME across the region from April 23rd, 2013.

At the event, LIME explained that the BlackBerry Z10 running on LIME’s advanced EDGE network makes for a smarter experience for customers.

“As the region’s value leader our customers expect us to offer devices and packages that let them work and play at a cost they can afford. The BlackBerry Z10 on our data network will allow us to do just that. LIME customers will get the best of both worlds – a smartphone that goes further and a network provider that understands their needs. Our customers know it is the smarter choice,” said LIME’s General Manager Jeffrey Baptiste.

Everything goes further with the BB Z10 – a smarter camera with Time Shift; a smarter keyboard with intuitive writing capabilities; a smarter way to stay connected and productive as life happens with Flow and Peek in the BlackBerry Hub. And at LIME we optimize these features delivering a ‘smarter’ data experience; a smarter phone overall.

Customers who purchase the new BlackBerry Z10 from LIME will have the opportunity to win one of three trips for two to see Alicia Keys’ SET THE WORLD ON FIRE concert in Prague on June 12, 2013.

“We are always looking for ways to delight our customers with unmatched experiences.  With the BlackBerry Z10 from LIME, our customers again have the best value in the region. And we are excited to go further with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see Alicia Keys live in Prague,” added Head of Marketing, Giesel Francis-Allen.

At Friday’s launch event, Miss Dominica Leslassa Armour-Shillingford was presented with a Blackberry Z10 by LIME’s General Manager, Jeffrey Baptiste, putting her among the first to own one of the revolutionized BB devices. DBS’ General Manager Brian Meade is also the happy owner of a FREE BBZ10 after winning one in a quiz at the launch event.

The new BlackBerry Z10 is the first BlackBerry smartphone to launch with the re-designed, re-engineered and re-invented BlackBerry 10 platform, giving customers a powerful and unique new mobile computing experience.

    What Lime fail to do was inform the people of Dominica and the rest of the region all the bad reviews this so called smart phone received in North America especially in America. so much so the starting price of $200.00 was reduce to $50.00 after the sales for the phone were so bad. :twisted:

    Don’t want to be bias however i walked into the mobile department and i must say it look dragged. Some of the staff appears to be so unproffessional moreless a female staff in particular. The way she left her position and walked across to another staff member being so loud in the process. I was really taken back and thought to myself if these people were properly trained. Even if there are no customers at hand to attend to she must not make it seems like its a time to socialize and go from staff to staff engaging in conversation. I must say that ive never seen that level of unprofessionalism behaviour from any of the lime staff in general. Customer service is very important and you don’t have to be behind a desk attending to someone for one to monitor your behaviour. This just shows that a customer could have walked in and then she would be rushing across to assist this person.

    lol @ Blackberry – ok…this phone is, although advanced for a BB, is behind when it comes to the other phones on the market. Personally, am an Android fanatic, so i’ll stick with my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, running on Jellybean…and when the Note 3 is released towards the end of the year, i’ll replace my Note 2 (which is only 6 months old) with it and give away the Note 2

      It’s not a waste of money. The iPhone n Samsung are just better phones. Look the iPhone taking its leaks now.

    I sitll don’t get how Dominicans still get so excited over stupid Blackberry. Let’s face it, Samsung and Apple has been leaders in innovation and make phones that actually “wow” the world. Blackberry is struggling and let’s face it – waste of time.

    “LIME explained that the BlackBerry Z10 running on LIME’s advanced EDGE network makes for a smarter experience for customers”…..What LIME taking us for, advanced EDGE network? a phone tht deserves atleast a 3G Network to be fully functional. Bring 3G/4G to Dominica if allu want to give dominician customers a Smarter Experience and stop talk crap. Advanced EDGE network. :-D :lol:
