Schlage Wants To Keep You Secure And Give You A Berry!
By Bla1ze | 26 Feb 2009 08:32 | 79 comments


We have covered the Schlage LiNK here at CrackBerry before back when CES was under way - in case you need a refresher on what it does the video above gives many examples of the great uses for it. But it doesn't stop there... be sure to check out all the uses at the Schlage LiNK product tour site. This is one tool which I would absolutely LOVE to have in my house, not just for the safety aspects but the convenience aspects as well.

Now, with Schlage hitting the mobile world bigtime with their security offerings they also want to give back a little and are having an awesome contest where you can win not only a brand new BlackBerry Storm, but also a Schlage LiNK system for your home. Freaking sweet! A new security system for your house and a new BlackBerry Storm?? Ya really cannot go wrong there!

I saw this product on their site. Looked really cool, but also very pricey for what it does. Maybe useful if and when I have kids.

Well this sucks Canadians cant enter the contest....I was so hoping for a chance to win :-(

VERY nice.

I'd rather have the new KidSat - a GPS enabled chip implanted under the skin of my child.

Then I'll ALWAYS know where my kid is!

Interesting about the Schlage LiNK. I was baffled when I first glanced at the name of the article because I always knew Schlage as a security hardware manufacturer. Turns out I was correct in this case. Great idea...a bit surprising now that I think about it that someone hadn't thought of it before.

That clip is racist. Why does it have to be the white people without security?

By: CoolBB | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 09:32

i'd consider it as well after a few kids lol.

By: AnastasiasTribe | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 09:35

My kids would love it even more...haha/

Plus she wasn't Outside she was in the living room.

That is one of those things tons of people are kicking themselves for, and saying "why didn't I think of that"?
That is tremendous!

WOW!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A AWSOME WAY TO CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY CRACKBERRY.. BEST BLACKBERRY SITE IN THE WORLD... THANKS FOR EVERYTHING

By: CGSCOT | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 10:37

hee hee cheesetastic ;) whats kids that young doing home alone anyway + couldn't the kids just type the code in, open the door & then just shut it & go off somewhere, just because you get a text saying the door has been opened doesn't mean they are at home. Can see some merits behind it (if someone is trying to break in) but also some flaws, also its a bit Orwellian in some aspects.

I am a fairly new bb user and love bb's to death they are the best phones out there for the true techy! About a year and half ago I got robbed after losing my job and lost my laptop and ps3 were stolen. I have had things replaced and still live in the same house but still have the feeling of insecurity. I can leave this house due to the lovely economy and have a baby on the way april 29th and yes it will get a baby berry! Security would be great and a bb storm but mainly security so if u can choose me, good luck to all!

Wow!

By: Chef_Hutch | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 11:29

This is so innovative! Wow! I can really use this!

By: rawbiznes | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 11:40

Since your phone has access to unlock doors, does this mean whoever has your phone can unlock your doors.

By: TSullivan (not verified) | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 12:30

Rawbiznes--Actually there is a 4 digit pin you have to put in to be able to get the screen to open your door. So if you lose your phone someone would have to know your pin number.

Pretty cool product - would love to win it.

By: 1911acp | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 12:18

Since I live in the war zone this would be an awsome prize to win.

By: Daisy Dee | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 12:19

By: NolesBL | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 12:44

By: Glorishan | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 13:25

Considering my house was just busted into (only got away with my Garmin c550), security is a must!

By: HDangle | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 13:33

This looks like the best thing since sliced bread!

By: sandydurst | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 14:01

This is a great app

By: Dave25 | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 14:16

Wow! Awesome giveaway. It'll be nice to protect my home with their system.

Happy birthday CB!

By: cafe_civet | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 14:23

It's one of those ideas that makes so much sense that you wonder why no one else is doing it.

By: ToeTaggerH | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 14:26

anyway, this thing looks cool!

By: mina3050 | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 15:18

the product sounds awesome....

By: NS Newfie | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 15:25

This is a wonderful product. I would have such peace of mine with this as I live on a very busy street and my front door is on the sidewalk. Would be awesome to win!

By: freddymartinez9 | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 15:27

I'm in

By: Sylverlady | Date: Thu, 02/26/2009 - 15:33

And thanks for another NICE contest!

DS needs a new phone, he's been looking mine
over :) Winning this one would be awesome!

We could use the security system for our doors.
We'd know when our grown kids are coming or
going.

Thanks Kevin!
