O2 Ireland launches Leinster #Rugby ‘design collection’ handset #Samsung Galaxy Trend

Designer handsets are a desire for some folk and not for others,depending on what you like you can find it hard to find custom covers or cases for your phone,most search the net and find alternatives,often cheap and the design fades away depending on the manufacturer.

 

Leinster rugby fans can now have a phone that supports their team and looks sharp.

From the 02 press room.

O2 has launched a limited edition Leinster Rugby design version of the Galaxy Trend Plus handset which is  is now available exclusively to O2 customers.

This super fast powerful handset delivers smoother transitions and faster web browser for users.   With the added benefit of the large screen 4inch it boasts rich and vivid colours to maximise users mobile experiences.

“We know our customers love rugby so it seemed like a natural progression to develop the limited edition handset with Samsung which we believe will be just as popular with customers,” said Julie Gill, partner device and operations manager at O2 Ireland.

Gary Twohig, Director, Samsung Ireland, “In keeping with Leinster Ruby, the Galaxy Trend Plus is a handset that is unbeatable.  We’re delighted to showcase our Leinster partnership with this unique and exclusive handset which will resonate well with 02 customers”.

The Samsung Galaxy Trend Plus is available exclusively on pre pay from O2 at a recommended retail price of €149.99.

The perks at working in #Microsoft Ireland Free tablets and phones. #Nokia #Ireland

How does your company treat you.

An employer should hand out perks,this gives staff drive not also that perks are free bring smiles to your face and creates initiative let me tell you though many companies do not give perks nor appreciate the hard work staff do,perks create incentive.And yes i do have perks and yes i do give perks.

Today in the Irish times we read on what perks are offered to the Irish arm of Microsoft.. they include free tablets and phones,nice if you can get it i say..

 

 

“It’s commonly known that perks are a hallmark of working for tech companies, and Microsoft’s Irish operations are no exception. The company, which employs about 1,200 people in Ireland, gave every Irish employee a free Surface tablet and Nokia  smartphone last year.

Like Diageo, the company also offers flexible working hours, with many employees working from home one day per week. “We also have family days where staff can bring their kids to an event on site. We might have an Easter egg hunt, or Santa at Christmas time,” says Microsoft  recruitment manager Deirdre Moran.

If an employee wants to pursue further education, Microsoft will pay for two-thirds the cost of their course, be it a diploma, certificate or even a masters. There is also an on-site nail bar and dry cleaners.”

I will gladly work there when i finish my current contract don’t be afraid to get in touch ….

When paired with your Lumia using either Bluetooth (4.0) or NFC, the Nokia Treasure Tag will stay in constant communication with your smartphone, telling it that it’s close by.

Most of the time, the audio alert is all you’ll need to be reunited with your belongings. However, if you can’t hear the tone, the Nokia Treasure Tag app on your phone will show you where the connection was lost on a map.

You can pair up to four Nokia Treasure Tags to your Lumia at any one time, leaving no prized possession untagged.

Nokia Treasure Tag comes in four different colours: cyan, yellow, white and black. With a recommended retail price of €24,90 / $29.90, the Nokia Treasure Tag is available now globally, with the exception of China where it will be available later this month.
