Anyone who has ever bought an iPhone will know the joy of sliding open its little white box, prising the cool, sleek piece of metal out of its casing and after admiring it in your hand for an unquantifiable amount of time, wondering what colour cover will look best in your handbag (or is that just me?) finally peeling off the protective plastic and watching it sparkle like a rare technological gemstone. They will also know the feeling of steady nausea as you part with a month’s salary to get your hands on it, or else sign your soul to the devil for a 98 month contract to pay it off.

Well, I’m not that tech savvy but I’ve heard they’re overrated anyway. Cue this absolute corker of a deal, wherein you can get your mitts on a new smartphone for less than R1,800. “What is this witchcraft?!” I hear you cry. No hocus-pocus here, just a great offer. You can get either a Blackberry Z3 or Blackberry Z10 demo phone.

What you need to know:

Choose between 2 options:

R1 699 for a Demo Blackberry Z3 (R2 599 value)
R1 799 for a Demo Blackberry Z10 (R2 999 value)
