For the non-expiring license.
When you visit CrackBerryAppStore.com on your BlackBerry's web browser, we placed the link to Documents to Go on the homepage - third link down on the featured page.
Add that to your cart and then put in the coupon code and you will be good to go.
Queen4111 Nov 18, 2008 at 7:48 am
Thank you Kevin for responding.
I'm getting my copy! :)
Any idea on when the CrackBerryAppStore will be linked to paypal?

Great. So we can pretty much get the non-expiring version for the same cost as a one-year subscription. I still think $50 is too much to pay for the premium features (the free version works just fine for me, though I'd love a bit more functionality), but I'm sure a lot of people appreciate this coupon. Thanks Kevin and thanks Daaviz!

It kinda sucks if you have to download it by Wednesday when you won't have your Blackerry until next week! :(
Feldhege Nov 17, 2008 at 10:17 pm
I appreciate the opportunity to get a discount and the contest was great, but with all the articles on the Storm that have been posted here, I thought they would have at least waited until the weekend.
But now I see someone said it won't be compatible with the Storm anyway. Oh Well.

It's great that they were willing to give everyone the coupon that didn't win, which I would take advantage of, but since I'm getting the storm friday, and the coupon ends wednesday, I will have to pass! I think in hind site, it would have been better if it ended either Friday night, or Saturday, so those of us getting the storm could get the discount?

Haha ChuckH, thats true ..
I won't be getting my Storm til Friday as well as many others. But i guess it doesn't apply to them because they assume we already own a BB.
By the way, when will the $20 coupon be sent for the non-winners ! :)
chuckh0308 Nov 17, 2008 at 9:27 pm
I will be ordering my Storm Friday morning so I figure I'll probably have it next Tuesday. It will probably take me a day or two to figure out how to download the app after that...lol! I got my coupon a couple hours ago in my email. Kinda bummed because I want this app.
Jared-5 Nov 17, 2008 at 9:11 pm
I don't have the data plan, but I do use documents to go.
Must I download it with my BlackBerry, or can I install it via my computer?
lamonicaj Nov 17, 2008 at 9:43 pm
I have already gotten my code!!!! Thanks DataViz!!!!
jayj1980 Nov 17, 2008 at 9:54 pm
I guess it don't really matter if they gave me until friday, as this software is not compatible with the storm! :) Just a matter of time though, then I can get it!

InspectorGadget Nov 17, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Thank you DataViz for the discount, but it stills leaves the product over priced in my opinion. I would expect to pay that much for a desktop application but not for a mobile app.
Thanks for the discount should I decided to cave though LOL

$20 off, and it's still very expensive for mobile software.
just_curious Nov 17, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Thank you DataViz for selecting me as a winner! I'm very excited I had Documents To Go Standard on my Blackberry Bold, once notified that I was a winner I upgraded to the Premium Edition immediately thanks to you and the Docs To Go Contest here on Crackberry.Com
webconnoisseur Nov 18, 2008 at 8:36 am
Congratulations to the winners! Anyone knows when the coupon code will be sent to non-winners? I just checked my e-mail address but didn't see an e-mail from DataViz or Crackberry?
Queen4111 Nov 18, 2008 at 10:27 am
I just called DataViz, and they will provide a FREE software upgrade when you buy the BB Storm.
So if you purchase today, you will receive a FREE upgrade later for your BB Storm.
Devlyn16 Nov 18, 2008 at 11:02 am
My first BB wil be the storm so it wil be dificult to download to my device BEFORE wednesday since I won't have the device until Friday or Saturday.
coconnor Nov 18, 2008 at 10:41 am
I want a coupon, please
frkm0005 Nov 18, 2008 at 11:48 am
Wow. I've never won anything in my life. First I'd like to thank the Academy. I'd also like to thank the director for his vision, the costume designer and all my supporting cast for whom I wouldn't be up here. Last but not least I'd also like to thank...
Wait, wrong speech. Brb... "What I Would Say If I Won A Free Copy Of Documents To Go On Crackberry.com". I know it's here somewhere...
jason145 Nov 18, 2008 at 2:35 pm
If you're planning to buy the Storm this weekend you can still take advantage of the $20 off coupon today/tomorrow. The 1.005 Premium build for the Storm isn't up yet but we'll get it to you Storm folk when it is (you have 30 days to download the software for free so there's no harm done if you purchase it before you buy your device).
Jason,
DataViz, Inc.
chuckh0308 Nov 18, 2008 at 4:43 pm
Thanks for the response! Just to clarify then...I can pay for the product using my computer and download later to the Storm. I do not need a Blackberry device of any sort to get the deal? Thanks!
I hope I am happy with the Storm since I have started buying things for it without actually having it yet! I must be crazy!
surfmly29 Nov 18, 2008 at 5:59 pm
No BB yet, Storm on Friday. Kevin said you have to download it from the appstore on your BB though. So the question is, can we purchase via computer or other current PDA (I have a Treo now) today and then download on my Storm after Friday?
Thanks.
chuckh0308 Nov 18, 2008 at 6:53 pm
I just decided to give it a try using the PC and it wasn't possible. At one point in the process they require you to enter some 4 digit PIN from your BB device. If you don't have that you can't complete the order. The good news was that I got to that point before my credit card was charged, so all I lost was some time. Kinda bummed on the whole deal though. Maybe they will feel sorry for us at some point and extend the offer (hint, hint!). :)
tech42er Nov 18, 2008 at 11:04 pm
I have a good solution: fraud! If all you need is a BB device PIN, why not ask a sympathetic and somewhat rebellious CB member for their PIN/ESN/whatever code. This way, you can download the software and port it to your Storm later, unless it's then locked to that BB, in which case I have no idea why Dataviz would say you could DL this app to use with the Storm later.
Doug Proctor Nov 19, 2008 at 3:31 am
Received an email from DataViz but the link sends you to an order page for a Palm device and there is no coupon code in the email. Any ideas please?
mdlissner Nov 19, 2008 at 8:51 am
I entered the contest, but have not gotten an email with a $20 coupon code. Can someone help me?
kramed Dec 29, 2008 at 12:07 pm
I also entered into the contest but didn't receive a coupon?! Dataviz is it still possible for me to get this for $50?
