Canadians love their Tim Horton’s coffee and doughnuts. And if they are BlackBerry 10 users, they have a new way to pay. By leveraging the near field communication (NFC) technology that’s built into every BlackBerry 10 smartphone, Tim Horton’s can simply register a Tim Card on the TimmyMe mobile app and use their BlackBerry 10 smartphone to tap-to-pay to complete their order. This new mobile payment option is unique to BlackBerry 10 customers at this time and is the first such deployment of its kind, anywhere in the world.
In celebration of this, BlackBerry and Tim Hortons hosted a BlackBerry 10 customer appreciation event today held at a Tim Hortons location in downtown Toronto, where Joffrey Lupul, alternate captain of the Toronto Maples Leafs, demoed the TimmyMe app to the public by buying them a coffee.
Here’s a few pictures from the event:
