So, following this post, the Sprint people sent me an email:
Hi Russell,
The Sprint Ambassador Team recently visited Russelldavies.typepad.com and wants to invite you to participate in our Ambassador Program.
The Sprint Ambassador Program is all about exploring our latest products and services and allows you to give direct feedback to Sprint. We recently launched the Sprint Power Vision (SM) Network and want to provide you with the full experience, at no charge. Sprint Power Vision Network enables customers to download data at faster speeds and experience new data products.
So what’s the deal?
As a qualified participant, we will send you one Sprint Power Vision phone and provide you with six months of all-access service (at no charge). You’ll have access to the Sprint Music Store(SM) live TV broadcasts, gaming and more. Yes, you will also have unlimited free calling and data service. It’s a pretty good deal and all we ask for in return is your candid feedback (you decide how much and how often).
Register at: http://ambassador.sprint.com/
You will need your unique registration code: XXXXX
If you have questions regarding the registration process or the program, please email us at [email protected]
We look forward to receiving your registration!
The Sprint Ambassador Team
Not the most personal email I've ever received but hey, never mind. And I suspect they've also not paid enough attention to the site to realise that I live in the UK. Anyway, I went to the registration site and put in the address of our offices in the US - it seems that they'll send the phone there.
We'll work out what to do next once it gets there.
Lego has gone one step further : getting lego fans to work on New Product Development... confidentially and for free. (they're fans after all)
I'm sure you already know this, but still it's a very good article.
