Dell is handing out up to 25,000 Dell Venue Pro Windows Phone 7 smartphones to employees who hand in their Blackberry for the new device. As well as offering phones to staff, Dell is also offering a service that will help clients make the switch from Blackberry to WP7.
Although the cost of 25,000 Dell Venue Pro smartphones isn’t cheap, the company will actually save around 25% of phone costs due to paying contracts for Blackberry devices as well as handset costs.
To recoup even more of the costs, Dell is also going to be selling the old BlackBerry smartphones on eBay.
Not a bad deal for staff and a rather interesting move for Dell at the same time.
