This morning, Blackberry Cool tells us of a free BlackBerry 7290 giveaway promotion from menswear brand Dockers.

I can here the jokes now: "is that a BlackBerry in your Dockers, or are you just glad to see me?"

Well, both.

Here's how it works. You spend $50 or more on any combination of Dockers products at any of several leading department stores in the May chain. Those stores include: Famous-Barr, Filene's, Foley's, Hecht's, Kauffmann's, L.S. Ayres, Meier & Frank, Robinsons-May, Strawbridges and The Jones Store.

When you buy your Dockers, you go to a special page on the Dockers site where you'll enter your 13-digit receipt code and your purchase date.

The site will then walk you through the process of paying $150 for the BlackBerry 7290, but only if you agree to a two-year voice and data service contract with Cingular Wireless priced at a minimum $72.98 a month.

After you complete that portion of the process, you apply online for a rebate. That will take several weeks, but should be in time to cover at least the second payment you'll make on your plan.
