Yesterday, the SamsungAfrica Twitter handle announced that owners of BlackBerry smartphones can trade-in their device for a Samsung Android smartphone and have BBM (BlackBerry Messenger) installed on their new device immediately. Here is the tweet:

Trade in your old BlackBerry for a new #Samsung device at a nearest Brand Store & we'll download & setup BBM for you. #SmartTrade #BBM4ALL

The deal is that the trade-in gives you a discount when purchasing a new Galaxy device, so cash is involved. Dayo, Omonzua and myself thought to see things for ourselves today and went over to the Samsung Store at Ikeja City Mall where we asked a female attendant about the BlackBerry trade-in. She had no idea what we were talking about though we carefully explained the scheme to her. Oh well.

Have you tried to trade-in your BlackBerry at a Samsung store? How did it go? Tell us!
