If you happen to use United’s Mileage Plus program for your frequent flyer mile needs and were planning on getting a new BlackBerry anytime soon, you might want to check out the new offer that Mileage Plus released:

For a limited time, you can get that special someone on your list a BlackBerry® with a new rate plan, and earn 5,000 miles for yourself. Mileage Plus Wireless offers you your choice from the following three BlackBerry devices:

The devices listed are the BlackBerry Pearl, the BlackBerry Curve and the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition. It looks like the only carriers they offer the deals through are Sprint, T-Mobile and AT&T at the moment.

5000 points isn’t an extraordinarily high number considering they offer me 20,000 for opening a credit card, but the prices on the phones as far as the price after rebate goes are decent, so if you’ve been thinking about shopping for a new BB, use one of those three providers and are a Mileage Plus member, now might be the time to make the leap.
