Canada Day and Independence Day Contest: 100 FREE One-Year Subscriptions to SmrtGuard!

By Kevin Michaluk on 1 Jul 2009 08:45 am

To Celebrate Canada Day and Independence Day this week, SmrtGuard is hosting a contest and is giving away 100 subscriptions for their One-Year Subscription Plan (retail at USD $44.99 each) to citizens of that other country we know and love, CrackBerry Nation. To enter for your chance to win, all you need to do is login and leave a comment to this blog post. Contest entry closes this Sunday at midnight PST, and we'll announce the winners on the blogs next week. Good luck!

If you don't know what SmrtGuard is, it is a software that let's you backup and restore personal data over the air, track the location of your device, and to critically execute a remote wipe in the event of theft or loss. Backed up data includes your Contacts (with contact pics), PIMs, and now SMS. We've covered it a few times previously on the CrackBerry blogs - be sure to check out this post and this post for more info or click the image above to jump over to SmrtGuard.com.

I've been using this app since the beta release bu haven't decided if I want to pay the subscription. Winning a cop sure would make that decision easier.

Having Beta Tested SmartGuard and liking it was great. Being a Canadian but living in Indonesia, Also like it, is a great match.

So, why not give me one free year for liking it :-)

Love this app. Happy Canada Day. I only wish this app would allow you to send a msg to the screen of a lost/stolen blackberry. GetItBack by Convenience Software can do that but doesn't do all that this app dose.

Anyway, here's to hoping I win! :)

36dbldz Jul 1, 2009 at 9:26 am

Artrapp23 Jul 1, 2009 at 9:28 am

I would love to win this app. one of my friends had it on his 8900 and when he lost it he went online and remote wiped it and then he found it 2 hrs. later in his couch LOL this software rocks.

scubahiker Jul 1, 2009 at 9:36 am

Happy Independence day! This sounds like a great app!

educatedathlete Jul 1, 2009 at 9:37 am

I tested the beta version for this, and thought the software was very helpful. There are so many tools to protect your blackberry. It basically screws over anybody thinking they can steal your phone. Not only can you shut it down, but you can locate it, find the thief, and punish them for their actions. lol

helloo_kitty Jul 1, 2009 at 9:38 am

I love SmrtGuard and i am due to to sign up but i would love it more to win this!!

Techark Jul 1, 2009 at 9:38 am

It is great that we have smart guard I love it, been on the beta for a while now. But it seems to me that these all functions that should have come with a BB device already installed.
After all these are supposed to be business phones which will have sensitive data on them from the premier maker of business phones.

Thank goodness SmartGuard came along, well worth the few extra bucks for the security of knowing my data is safe and I can track and wipe my phone from anywhere if I ever need to.

bimmerin Jul 1, 2009 at 9:38 am

Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me Pick me.

FASTBerry Jul 1, 2009 at 9:38 am

It would suck to lose my BB not because of the $200.00 (that would suck too) but beause of the information on it. With this software would back it up and wipe it out if it ever got misplaced. Sign me up!

satellite1203 Jul 1, 2009 at 9:38 am

Hello good folks. I have been losing apps and othe valuables and I do n't back up as often as i should, there goes my need for smartguard!

andypoi Jul 1, 2009 at 9:39 am

In.

gkglus Jul 1, 2009 at 9:40 am

I had a really good experience with the beta. Hope I win. Then I can justify buying a copy for the wife's bb.

BFBrazier Jul 1, 2009 at 9:40 am

Can I win, please?

Badwolf67 Jul 1, 2009 at 9:44 am

A long time ago I had an application like this for a Treo650...I loved it. This looks light years a head though. I know that this application would be a great benefit for me in my line of work because if I ever loose my bb I AM SCREWED!!!!!!!!

I hope I win, but if not I will continue on this endless road of crackberry contest rejection. Good luck all!
