BlackBerry Tries Improving Its Fortunes with Donuts

Last Friday, BlackBerry tried turning around its fortunes in Canada with a special promotion at Canadian institution. Tim Hortons is a coffee shop that is a national icon with stores all across the country. One of their flagship stores in downtown Toronto had a special promotion with free coffee for BlackBerry users. Tim’s also used the opportunity to unveil the BlackBerry donut which is has vanilla icing, purple sprinkles and blackberry jelly. This was to show off the new Timmy’s app on BlackBerry that let’s you pay with your BB10 phone.

I don’t know if this will help BlackBerry at all but at least the donut might be tasty. Tim’s coffee, on the other hand, is just awful.
