The BlackBerry Buddies have been on hand at designated stands in five key shopping centres around the country: Sandton City in Johannesburg, Menlyn Park in Pretoria, Mimosa Mall in Bloemfontein, Canal Walk in Cape Town, and Gateway Shopping Centre in Durban.
BlackBerry has now extended the initiative to four more shopping malls: Eastgate Mall in Johannesburg, The Pavilion in Westville, Somerset Mall in Cape Town, and the Cresta Shopping Centre in Randburg.
Shoppers at these venues will receive personal attention, technical support and advice at the BlackBerry kiosks, where BlackBerry Buddies are waiting to help.
Among the most popular requests BlackBerry Buddies have helped with in the past few months include basic configuration and tasks; backing-up and restoring devices; upgrading software and switching to a new device. They also give customers tips, tricks and short cuts, assist with step-by-step troubleshooting and help customers get to know their smartphones better.
In addition, customers can visit BlackBerry Buddies online at www.blackberry.com for answers to questions, tips and tricks, general technical solutions, software update information and more.
