I’ve often wondered if anyone actually wins anything from those little jars at shows that say "put your business card here to enter prize draw" so imagine my surprise when I won a Blackberry 8820 recently at a technology open day prize draw.

The trouble is I don’t have a contract with Orange (I am currently tied to Vodafone) nor does our company have BES so I’m a little unsure what to do with the device - at the moment it’s sitting on the unit in our kitchen in its little box looking rather lonely. We do have Exchange 2007 Server here but that works quite happily with my Sony Ericsson K800i for everything I need. The Blackberry is wireless so there is a little tempter to open the box but it’s a shame because it’s a very nice looking device.

CNET have have a review of the 8820 here and Reg Hardware have a review here.
