Weekly Accessory Roundup - Win a Ventev PowerCELL for your BlackBerry!
Contest: Win an Ventev PowerCELL for your device! Details Below.
I picked up a Ventev PowerCELL a while back to use with my BlackBerry Torch, and I have to say I absolutely love it. I was kind of down and out when I jumped from the Bold 9700 to the Torch and didn't have the same battery life. I explored some charging solutions and even carried a spare battery for a while, but then I came across the PowerCELL. It weighs next to nothing and is small enough to carry in a pocket or bag. Just charge it up ahead of time and it provides plenty of juice when you're device runs low. It comes with multiple adapters including mini USB and mircoUSB for BlackBerry devices. Available for just $54.95 from ShopCrackBerry.com. Keep reading for details on how to win one of your own!
CONTEST:
To enter to win Ventev PowerCELL for your device, simply leave a comment to this blog post telling us how it would help you keep your device charged on the go. Contest ends this Sunday night at Midnight PST. Please, just one entry per person.

I would love this device because I'm a college student who's always on the go. I never know when I'm going to need to check in with classmates for assignments, or for family events, and if my phone is dead. It's kinda useless if it's dead, and this would help!
cabdriver Jan 19, 2011 at 8:48 pm
This would be great-thanks for the contest
gyubok Jan 19, 2011 at 8:59 pm
I'm on the road a lot. having this will allow me to charge on the go during my business trips!
trueredsoxfan_58 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:00 pm
I have over 5 blackberry users in my home and this would be VERY usefull
adumas94 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:15 pm
i get up early every morning and spend my day out and away from my charger constantly using my berry. this would end my daily search for outlets!
TurboTiger Jan 19, 2011 at 9:19 pm
Looks like a great device.
Please put my name in the hat.
Good Luck
funkydope_98 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:19 pm
would love one since my small duracell one doesn't charge my torch. Thanks for have these contests.
tge33 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:22 pm
Would love to have one Crackberry!
kuku25 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:28 pm
Wow I would use this constantly, my university is higher elevation and surrounded by forest so I rarely have more than 1 or 2 bars of service. The constant search for a better signal leaves my BlackBerry Bold 9700 running on empty by the end of my school day.
Having a product like this would keep me with the power to continue through the day! Please pick me!
Salman91 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:32 pm
I always carry a spare battery with me!!!
avilesfire Jan 19, 2011 at 9:32 pm
This would help me keep my Blackberry goodness ALIVE!
beanyman Jan 19, 2011 at 9:41 pm
I run a 9700 which gets about 2 days or so, but when it gets worked harder it drains faster. I work on the road so this would be great to carry around.
36dbldz Jan 19, 2011 at 9:42 pm
it will help keeping me from having to carry 2 spare batteries
ICEMAN9 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:51 pm
More time on my Blackberry = Happier ME
dgrass90 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:55 pm
As a full time student involved in a bunch of extracurriculars I rarely am in a position to plug my BlackBerry in when I'm on the go. I am constantly on it and something like a Ventev PowerCELL would be a life saver.
hakeem23 Jan 19, 2011 at 9:56 pm
would love to win this because longer battery life means more BBM-ing, more email and others. Thanks CrackBerry! ;)
Country Rock Star Jan 19, 2011 at 9:59 pm
I use my Blackberry for everything from storing phone numbers to 4 email accounts to using Facebook, Myspace, LinkedIn and Twitter to maintaining my entire families event, Appointments and class schedule on the calendar. My Blackberry lasts me about 5 hours tops before it needs to be put on either my home charger or my car charger. The Ventev Powercell would really help me when I am running around doing things or going to things for my kids or just doing what I need to do with my Blackberry. Please consider me to win the Ventev Powercell.
Thank you
schaidshaw02 Jan 19, 2011 at 10:01 pm
I'm always having to carry my charger with me and it is so annoying! I so need this!
npunk42 Jan 19, 2011 at 10:02 pm
This is a great idea! I have a Plantronics BT that comes with a case/charger/extra battery supply, I didnt really appreciate it at first but it really comes in handy. I bet this would be about the same. Good!
wvucraig Jan 19, 2011 at 10:06 pm
I NEED to have this for my blackberry! Please hook me up with this, and I will be forever grateful :) Thanks Crackberry - you guys are the bessssst!
hhenriquez Jan 19, 2011 at 10:15 pm
I too jumped to the Torch from my 9700 and although I love the Torch I agree that the battery can't even be compared to the life you get on the 9700. This way I don't have to buy that second battery I've been looking into but I find too expensive. :)
kjamc1982#CB Jan 19, 2011 at 10:13 pm
This product would not change my life. I am just entering just to enter the contest.
martain Jan 19, 2011 at 10:13 pm
This would be great for when I'm stuck working outdoors all day, with no outlets available.
dnottingham4 Jan 19, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Very cool. Similiar to a couple of other reserve charging devices I have seen and own. THis would beuseful for my wife and i to get some extra juice for our devices (Blackberry bold/iphone/ipod touch) when needed.
HighwayBob Jan 19, 2011 at 10:17 pm
I work 12 hours shifts out on the road. This would be awesome in cases when I don't have a car with me and no other means to maintain connectivity. I use my device alot, and sometimes power becomes a problem.
alexpropman Jan 19, 2011 at 10:18 pm
I needs this to keep my phone charged up, my ipad charged up and my handsfree charged up. I am a travelling tennis pro and spend 6 hrs a day on the tennis court with not enough time to recharge anything. Confirming lessons and replying to texts and reading texts and receiving and sending e-mails leaves my devices drained.
Hook a brother up, son!
btgrave Jan 19, 2011 at 10:18 pm
I move around a lot when I'm away from home, so this would greatly help me stay charged up without having to constantly look for a plug if I need to. Plus that thing looks thin enough that I can even put it in a pocket and not bulk me down! Yes please!
jbag1489 Jan 19, 2011 at 10:21 pm
I'm still using my Bold 9000 and it's kind of battery hungry, being able to charge on the go would be aweome
xHazardx Jan 19, 2011 at 10:22 pm
This is great product. I can use it to charge my phone when I'm in school and have no time to sit and charge. With this product I can continue receiving important emails/SMS/BBM about projects and assignments from professor and teammates.
bw839 Jan 19, 2011 at 10:22 pm
This is a must have for me. I am tied to a power outlet almost all day, this seems to be a great alterntive.
tupacmo Jan 19, 2011 at 10:27 pm
this is a great accessory. -- my 9000 is the perfect device, minus the battery life. -- this would fix that and be great for when the Dakota is finally released :D --
skyboxer Jan 19, 2011 at 10:30 pm
CDMA BlackBerries just don't have the battery life of the GSM ones. My wife and I both have a 9650 and in the evening we are both wanting the charger to get through. With this one of us could tank up at work and leave the other one tethered to the wall at night- or to the powercell of course!
Striker_hl26 Jan 19, 2011 at 10:34 pm
This would save me taking my charger when I stay at friends or families :D
blackcaneaddict Jan 19, 2011 at 10:37 pm
An extended battery. Works great as long as I'm in a good coverage area. I coulad really use this as I'm always on my BB, but really have to go out the way just to keep it charged up.
syntyr Jan 19, 2011 at 10:40 pm
I need this to keep my Torch powered!!! Please Please Please!
Thanks
storm_fan2009 Jan 19, 2011 at 10:41 pm
I would love this product. It would mean not having to worry about hooking my Torch to my laptop off and on throughout the day.
CrentBonway Jan 19, 2011 at 11:01 pm
this would really help me keep my torch going all day long without having to plug it in the car all the time. it would really help on those camping weekends too with our local boy scouts for me to stay in touch
big bb Jan 19, 2011 at 11:10 pm
this would help to get through the day to only have to charge my torch once a day instead of twice
hellodestroyers Jan 19, 2011 at 11:10 pm
wow this product is awesome its like having a 2nd battery for everything that can be charged with a USB cable. my BB torch would love to have it on the go so would some of my other devices.
its like having a outlet u can take with u simple awesomeness
jj_24 Jan 19, 2011 at 11:14 pm
This would be a great accessory for me. My phone is constantly in use and the battery drain is intense. This will keep me from having to carry a backpack with a laptop and usb cord sticking out of it for backup. lol
crackcookie Jan 19, 2011 at 11:24 pm
My battery died right after class, I missed the bus, had no one to call home and had to walk home 13 miles in the Michigan cold.
I want this yesterday.
Gideon23 Jan 19, 2011 at 11:35 pm
Pick me!
wbranson1 Jan 19, 2011 at 11:44 pm
i could use this device since im always on the go and dont have an extra battery that i could use to give me more battery power!
defender007 Jan 19, 2011 at 11:52 pm
I could really use it. I can never make it thru one day without charging my torch during the day. Problem is, I'm not always in the office. My iPhone can use the extra juice sometimes too.
Bigpoint Jan 19, 2011 at 11:52 pm
I could use this to keep my BB charged when I'm out and about all day
sdreelin Jan 19, 2011 at 11:55 pm
Wow! I can use this NOW! I'm stuck in a class all week and no way to charge my Blackberry. It's about dead by the time I leave. This thing would really help!
ChaseZero Jan 19, 2011 at 11:58 pm
I would love some more juice for my Torch. I use BBM like I was the guy that invented it.
Chase
lovecrack Jan 20, 2011 at 12:02 am
I need this soooo bad. I am a salesman and am always on the road. I have to take tones of pic and have to charge my S2 two to three times a day. I need this to make my everyday job flow.
Thanks
Shawn
tekware Jan 20, 2011 at 12:04 am
For those days when I talk a lot or listen to podcasts while working alone in server rooms and find my battery at 20% by 4pm this would do the trick. I have something similar for my bluetooth earpiece already. It's a Plantronics Discover 975 that comes with a charging case that I have used to give me 3 more full charges. I've been pondering why I haven't seen anything like that for the phone itself... now I have. Thanks!
markymark8285 Jan 20, 2011 at 12:18 am
would be great for the clinic
markymark8285 Jan 20, 2011 at 12:18 am
would be great for the clinic
lklim Jan 20, 2011 at 12:24 am
This would be awesome for travel, and I love that it will work for both my Torch and my husband's Bold 9000. (He's so excited for the Dakota. I hope it's going to be all we think it will be!)
chunkyjams Jan 20, 2011 at 12:38 am
need one so my wife can stop nagging me about buying her an extra battery...
dadyson Jan 20, 2011 at 12:38 am
my 9700 battery drains very fast, i am a travel agent, this would help me immensely
phipsi102 Jan 20, 2011 at 12:42 am
I totally need this- My wife and I cannot for our lives remember to always bring our chargers when we travel- this would save our butts!!!
mssca Jan 20, 2011 at 12:45 am
I would like to get my hands on the charger for sure.
Phony bologna Jan 20, 2011 at 12:46 am
With the 9700's amazing battery life I sometimes forget to charge it. This results in experiencing the rare occasion when I've carried a BlackBerry brick. Same goes for my girlfriend. We could really use this external battery pack as a backup. Certainly if not us, all our friends with Android devices or iPhones who are constantly looking for available power sources. I'll charge everyone $1 per charge and make $100 a month. Then I'll buy another external battery pack and do this again. And again. And again. And again. Yes, Android, sell more devices. Apple, keep moving those units. I'll be rich...
Ferraro161 Jan 20, 2011 at 1:03 am
Definitely would help when you're on the go.
NotJustAPhone Jan 20, 2011 at 1:06 am
I'm out of the office a lot and rely on my BB to stay in touch. Being able to charge on the go would be a game changer. Hope I get lucky!
Thuggidy Jan 20, 2011 at 1:07 am
When i go on my vaca to JA i could use this because of the rolling power outtings
Arsic Jan 20, 2011 at 1:08 am
Sometimes I forget to charge my phone. This will be perfect for those times, I'll just leave it in my bag.
urShadow Jan 20, 2011 at 1:12 am
i am in riyadh now a days and have planned to go to makkah every month, its around 2000 km round trip and last time i ran out of battery, this device would help me to stay online all the time
LordOfDaFlies Jan 20, 2011 at 1:22 am
I travel A LOT... i am out of the country for a week every month. During my travels i use the following devices constantly
1. BB 9700 - India no (work)
2. iPhone 4 - India no (home) and Music - (Normally stays in airplane mode)
3. BB 9300 - Local no for country traveling to
4. iPad - carries all my pictures for work, PPTs, documents etc.
i have a mac with me but i use the ipad and the 2 BBs the most. and on the flight my iphone.
Thus a portable charger is what i need for my mobile ife
lengend Jan 20, 2011 at 1:25 am
I get my fix more cause i am on my crackberry a lot more :D
bosscib Jan 20, 2011 at 1:34 am
This would be perfect for hiking. I frequently kill my battery and have no back up in case of emergency. I have to win a contest at some point...
rea Jan 20, 2011 at 1:38 am
I am constantly using my torch, whether it be bbm, to slingmobile, to games. This takes a huge toll to have a bunch of things running, and me being on the go alot, would love to have this with me! Cheers again for all the great contests!
yujinyun Jan 20, 2011 at 1:49 am
i would love this charger because by the time i go home, my battery is about to die or dead. I can use my phone as much as I want without having to worry if my phone is going to run out of battery.
DU9650 Jan 20, 2011 at 1:56 am
I loose my charger all the time and always have to be around a computer to charge my phone with the usb cord, this would solve my problem!!!!
cbosdell Jan 20, 2011 at 2:34 am
I would love this. I am on my Bold nonstop and sometimes the battery life is less than...excellent.
gtirsmiley Jan 20, 2011 at 2:36 am
This would help me so much during my long school hours ..
Help me out CB, my Torch's battery sucks !
chefberry Jan 20, 2011 at 2:41 am
Very cool offering this time guys! Would sure love to win it!
jack.hoang Jan 20, 2011 at 2:58 am
I would use it to charge my phone when i have to work and go out on the same day so that my parents and friends can call me even if my battery is low because i would use it to charge my 9700
abrax Jan 20, 2011 at 3:02 am
Since my Torch doesn't make it two days; and since when I go hiking I use GPS tracking and it doesn't even last one day (and of course outside I have no opportunities to charge it) I would love to get it.
SJRod55 Jan 20, 2011 at 3:05 am
I am always travelling for 2 - 3 days between Kosovo, Albania, Macedonia and Montenegro. I end up in cars without my car charger or taxis, hotels without power outlets and frustrated to see my BB 9700 fade before my eyes, often having to power down whilst out and about. This would give me the ability to stay connected in critical times when I need the extra power. This could literally be a life saver for myself and our team.
oleens Jan 20, 2011 at 3:06 am
I drive a lot and I am always looking for someplace to charge my Bold 9700 before it dies. I have a car charger, but it just recently quit working. This would be great for me. Thanks CB for the awesome things you post and information that is posted.
eliasso Jan 20, 2011 at 3:12 am
this would be extremely useful when i take these business trips by car, when i keep texting on the road (i am not the driver) and after the meeting my battery is almost dead... that would be great to get some extra juice from my battery
star21 Jan 20, 2011 at 3:19 am
I would love this because it would finally give me a way to charge my Torch while out offroading, and taking photos. It would also be put to use while I am remodeling the new house my boyfriend and I are going to be purchasing. It would make it so much eaisier than having to lug around a car charger, house charger, and even then not having a reliable power source.
craigsalva Jan 20, 2011 at 3:43 am
I am a frequent business travler and this would be a perfect solution to keep in communication without chasing outlets.
danny- Jan 20, 2011 at 3:49 am
This is not a blackberry charger!
This is a life charger!!
/danny-
MattCatt Jan 20, 2011 at 3:54 am
This would help me get through fifteen hour long school days.
BocaDog Jan 20, 2011 at 3:56 am
I use my BB daily for work, and need a jump more often than not. This would be great to have!
st_temps Jan 20, 2011 at 3:58 am
I'd love one! Never get caught without battery!
parked Jan 20, 2011 at 4:15 am
This would give me piece of mind while I'm out on the trails. Nothing is scarier than seeing your BB's battery meter turning yellow/red.
chevin Jan 20, 2011 at 4:15 am
I'm a restaurant manager and practically run the restaurant with my Blackberry. Always in contact with the owner, other managers and we even do our scheduling online, which uses email and text messaging. I spend alot of time at work and can't afford to leave my phone in the office to charge! I'm always on the go and really need a better alternative to keep my Blackberry charged with me!
lasuerte Jan 20, 2011 at 4:58 am
I would really love to win this accessory because after upgrading my BB 9700 to OS6, it's battery hasn't lasted throughout the whole day. I constantly bring my charger around everywhere, even in school, which can be pretty annoying if you tell me. Winning this product would really relieve the hassle of bringing my big ol' charger around! Thanks! :]
drummerman2008 Jan 20, 2011 at 6:09 am
If I were to win this product i'll use it all the time I hate carrying around wall chargers and car chargers. I will be able to charge my phone on the go.
wiltongorske Jan 20, 2011 at 6:11 am
I'm a heavy BM user and even with screen brightness at a bare minimum and and many other battery-saving techniques, I'm always worried about my phone dying near the end of the day. This would be so helpful! I bought my first BlackBerry this year from a discount on Black Friday and I'm so glad!
So_Wut Jan 20, 2011 at 6:20 am
With long days at work and school, this would be perfect to get me through !
rallen8979 Jan 20, 2011 at 8:00 am
This would be great to have as I am contstantly in and out of place with no signal. My battery get drained pretty quickly. Most of the place I go you cannot plug anything in to any outlet with out a permit. This would be great for when I am running on the ragged edge.
master cockswain Jan 20, 2011 at 8:09 am
The wife and I both have new Blackberry 9800 Torches. She is on the road all day (works with developementally challenged adults) and has no car charger to keep her battery up and going. She is constanly on her Blackberry for work and to keep check on me(3 stroke survivor). This device would be a godsend for our household.
davidwipf Jan 20, 2011 at 8:09 am
I live in a low service Area, so my batterry only lasts about 5 hrs. So thise would come in handy
firegrove Jan 20, 2011 at 8:10 am
While I love my BlackBerry, I hate the battery life. My 9650 usually lasts til about 4 or 5 pm since I have to get up at 4 am and take my phone off the charger. Having a portable spare battery would allow me to carry that instead of quickly charging it in my car on the way to a store...or other location after work. It's usually hard to do anything after work because my phone battery is almost dead every day.
cu19 Jan 20, 2011 at 8:11 am
Priceless would describe the importance of this additional power source. I would be able to use this almost daily due to the area that I have to cover during my working hours. GREAT contest - Thank You
Axall Jan 20, 2011 at 8:15 am
This would really help me out when I dont have my car or an outlet nearby for charging.
brodcaster Jan 20, 2011 at 8:33 am
the places I go to don't allow me to charge my BlackBerry.
heaVEN sent this goodie of an accessory is :)
curtswife97 Jan 20, 2011 at 8:34 am
This would be great for me! I own a lawn business and use my Storm as an mp3 player while I work. The battery only lasts so long and then I have to go put in the truck to charge on a charger and half the time the charger is in our other truck! I would love to have this!
sedative Jan 20, 2011 at 8:40 am
I spend 8-10 hours in a 35 degree room 5 days a week, streaming pandora through my bluetooth.. My battery usually dies 3-4 hours in.. This would be a nice way to have a completely music filled work day!
hackacrack Jan 20, 2011 at 8:47 am
i usually travel to places that i am roaming, always sucking the juice out of my phone.
ccdawg Jan 20, 2011 at 8:50 am
So I could hang in the forums more often
mikeppolson Jan 20, 2011 at 8:54 am
I'm on my phone constantly and even with my 9700s great battery life I still find myself running low on battery often. This would be a great help
OldHooky Jan 20, 2011 at 8:54 am
How this would be a lifesaver on international business trips! Fingers crossed. :)
Jackskid#CB Jan 20, 2011 at 9:01 am
Exactly what I need. Please?
mmm-mike Jan 20, 2011 at 9:01 am
Power on the go... a novel concept that I most definitely require!
BiG BaLLA 923 Jan 20, 2011 at 9:07 am
This is exactly what i need, I am always on the run and never can get near a charger. I really hope to get this accessory!!
tompkins1 Jan 20, 2011 at 9:08 am
Well it because I am cheap and not sure I can afford one, but a free one would be great!
Razor213 Jan 20, 2011 at 9:12 am
I am on the Torch right now along with the Tour. The battery life could use some work. The Tour lasts me alot longer than the Torch. I am constantly on the go and on the devices. This Ventev Powercell is a great idea, send me one.
geek126 Jan 20, 2011 at 9:12 am
I carry an extra battery and 2 charging cords for my 9700. I have only ever had my phone run out of bettery one but when it did I was completely shut down for work.
henghs Jan 20, 2011 at 9:17 am
I am badly in need of this backup charger for my BOLD but short of buying one because I have a spare battery in hand at the moment.
However it has become a hassle having to switch off the unit and replace with the extra battery and boot up again. Also, not to mention if both the battery drains out!
Having this will be a great companion and I can add up longer up time and charging on the go. I can then donate my extra battery to someone else who is also in my current situation.
Sashko Jan 20, 2011 at 9:20 am
Having my batt topped up is always at the top of my priority list, especially when going on fishing trips up north where coverage is minimal and batt life seems to follow suit. This accessory would help me a tonne :-D
whoanellie Jan 20, 2011 at 9:25 am
I'm going to get a new phone and I will need one of these.
gcnj520 Jan 20, 2011 at 9:32 am
I'm always on the go, this will help my bb to be able to keep up with me!
darknluvlydeb Jan 20, 2011 at 9:38 am
As a girl scout leader, I'm always emailing or texting on the go to my scouts or other leaders and always seem to run out of battery life when my husband is trying to reach me (ugh) so the Powercell may actually help to save my marriage.
srg_2004 Jan 20, 2011 at 9:38 am
Yes I do need something like this
Hamp Jan 20, 2011 at 9:42 am
This would be a great asset to me when I travel with my job. I occasionally go on overnight trips with a military academy and having a charged Blackberry in the field is essential to my communications with coworkers and emergency situations. Here's to hoping for a win!
benpierce Jan 20, 2011 at 9:41 am
I'm more on the go than I'm on the sit! T'would be absolutely phenomenal to have this charging solution at my disposal!
Ben
ausrex Jan 20, 2011 at 9:45 am
Been extremely dissappointed with the energizer mobile charger that I have. Doesn't hold charge, and obviously does not dispense a charge as well. After sales is bad so I'm left with a dud. Let this switch be it please!
dsump Jan 20, 2011 at 9:49 am
I'd use this in the field while working surveillance at work. Would help out a lot when you can't use a car charger.
bhatiabn Jan 20, 2011 at 9:49 am
althought my 9700 has a gud battery life, still usage is just to much to keep that juice in for the while day, n since m out the entire day, could really come in handy!
buyer6 Jan 20, 2011 at 9:55 am
As an EMT in one of the busiest EMS systems in NJ, I am on my Blackberry constantly. Besides radio communications, we utilize landlines for communications with not only dispatch and the Docs-but also multiple Department of Homeland Security agencies. Plugging a phone into an outlet or socket is not an option, as we are rarely stationary for more than a few minutes. Working 12+ hour shifts makes carrying extra batteries a must-but also cumbursome and a pain in the ass. The powerCELL is the answer to my prayers. It would not only benefit me-it would benefit my partner as well, and make us more efficient in saving lives andhelping those in their time of need. I would love to field test this for you.
kalyhan Jan 20, 2011 at 10:05 am
I would love a Ventev PowerCELL. I could definitely use one on the road when I'm away from my house and car all day. I recently purchased a similar Energizer device at Best Buy, claiming it worked for all BlackBerries....well, lo and behold, it didn't fit my 9650.
tbd9181 Jan 20, 2011 at 10:16 am
I constantly run my battery down trying out new apps that i purchase on crackberry.com and using tether via bluetooth that i also purchased from crackberry.com. HELP!!!
MikeAWalters Jan 20, 2011 at 10:24 am
I travel a lot and this would be handy.
jeffmik Jan 20, 2011 at 10:26 am
I use my Torch to tether my wifi iPad so usually by 6pm my mattery is dead. Not a problem if I'm in my car but often I'm at a tradeshow or event with no access to a charger. This would be perfect for those days!
ATV_Hightower Jan 20, 2011 at 10:28 am
It would help me soo much. i´m constantly on tour with my torch and it happens several times that i ran out of battery. it would be great to have the possibility to charge on the go!
dinooo Jan 20, 2011 at 10:37 am
Very useful and cool Device. Would love to have this :)
The_Adventist Jan 20, 2011 at 10:41 am
I am hoping for a birthday win.
rearview Jan 20, 2011 at 10:46 am
mmm, battery
scuebydue Jan 20, 2011 at 10:47 am
This would be a good accessory to have on trips. That way I could minimize the amount of chargers/plugs to pack
hsharief Jan 20, 2011 at 10:47 am
Cool... I wish I win one of these...
KCCause Jan 20, 2011 at 10:48 am
This is just what my family needs. We have four phones and someone is always low on battery. We could juice it up while we are juicing it up!
berd#cb Jan 20, 2011 at 10:50 am
It would be great to keep this is the car, throw it in my pocket and know that I'll hace a little bit extra juice when I need it.
tasdisr Jan 20, 2011 at 10:51 am
This would be great to have when traveling!
kishanthj Jan 20, 2011 at 11:08 am
This is a must have product for me. I have various BB devices and having 1 die and waiting for the other to turn on is not a good business outlook. Therefore this would be very handy for me.
Thanks.
Raistlin1 Jan 20, 2011 at 11:16 am
I commute on the train to NYC for work and many times have found that my Torch is about to die due to battery drain, this would save me in those times.
cinder0008 Jan 20, 2011 at 11:18 am
Well, it would help me keep my device charged because that is its purpose, right?
Ok Jan 20, 2011 at 11:26 am
I need this badly!!!!
bigcatvzla Jan 20, 2011 at 11:29 am
My battery never die!
tjdevine Jan 20, 2011 at 11:36 am
We got 4 bbs in our family and with 2 torches for upgrades my wife and I are swapping batteries non stop. We do a lot of traveling and are having to constantly find outlets everywhere we go. Maybe we would enjoy our lives a bit better without having to be wall hogs.
golf4long Jan 20, 2011 at 11:48 am
More, more, more....time with the BlackBerry
cruzin' through Crackberry!
Pick this 'un, please!
AndrewMcHorney Jan 20, 2011 at 11:52 am
Charge me up please!
erico88 Jan 20, 2011 at 12:01 pm
Wouldn't hurt having a Battery back up
DarWinnz Jan 20, 2011 at 12:07 pm
Hey Guys, this would be the perfect solution to my daily routine of trying to get through the day on a single charged battery. As we all know, apps are a must on these Blackberry's, so it's a game of chance and watching your battery strength throughout the work day. Oh my, what a treat this would truely be! You guys are the bomb !! :-)
TwoFast4Lv Jan 20, 2011 at 12:08 pm
This would be perfect!
Many times I am some where I can not plug in and yet need to keep working. This would be perfect for those times!
boxofthecribs Jan 20, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Wow, it's exciting.. :D we all know that Blackberry had a weak battery, i'm mobile person, with this accs, i will be able to do my work while on my trip from one city to another city.. very very useful! please let me in! :D Thanks Crackberry!
TillMarch Jan 20, 2011 at 12:26 pm
Would come in handy! Being a traveling superhero, i have little time to charge my superphone regularly! :D
therealyoungin Jan 20, 2011 at 12:29 pm
This would really help me as an entertainer I need the web to stay connected to the world and I have no internet in home so all I have is my blackberry. I'm constantly on it all day and constantly charging it. When I'm not home I'm forced to use it less so that I won't kill the battery. This would really help.
vw1 Jan 20, 2011 at 12:34 pm
I didn't know that this existed until now. If I had I would have gotten it a while ago instead of getting the extnded battery. This will allow me to ditch the extended battery and use my regular battery since I can hardly find cases or skins to fit over my phone now. This will let me to recharge and keep on going.
JagoMidnight Jan 20, 2011 at 12:47 pm
Need one of these! Especially to stave off the drop from 30%-0% now that my 9700 is on a leaked OS 6! Although I know the Playbook's battery life will be great, I'm gonna be on it day and night so I'll need to keep that juiced too!
avanar1 Jan 20, 2011 at 12:50 pm
It would come in handy. I use my Storm with the Golf Logixs program and i can't get it to last a whole round.
candale Jan 20, 2011 at 12:54 pm
Looks great would like to win this for my family od BB owners.
kennyco63 Jan 20, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Need this for sure when I spend the night at my girlfreinds and and then its off to work!
Singh7 Jan 20, 2011 at 12:58 pm
This is something I need all the time. I carry around a blackberry 9780, Iphone 4 and Ipad. This would greatly help because I'm on the road all the time. Whether I'm travelling or on the go in the city, I need battery because I drain all 3 devices quite fast everyday.
BB Musketeers Jan 20, 2011 at 1:09 pm
I travel a lot on mission trips and sometimes the flight is longer than the blackberry battery charge can last. This baby would help me get a much needed boost.
acrazindian Jan 20, 2011 at 1:32 pm
It would give extra juice on the road for all my tech toys..
cocoa518 Jan 20, 2011 at 1:54 pm
I need this device because I work long hours and I have an aging mom who needs to be able to reach me at all times
MsBrittz1016 Jan 20, 2011 at 2:09 pm
This Accessory would be perfect for me because I am always on the go and always useing my blackberry. I dont like carrying around my wall charger this would be ideal to use. I have a long trip ahead of me driving from east coast to the west coast.... This item would very much come in handy.
cdnwanderer Jan 20, 2011 at 2:25 pm
I can't count how many times I've got to the office or customer site only to discover my phone had not charged because my daughter had disconnected my charger. Having one of these would be a life saver!
Gdlistns30 Jan 20, 2011 at 2:43 pm
Many of those who know me will say I am in love with my blackberry (And I Am! :)) I usually take advantage of any and all opportunities to try and convert the non-believers, especially the I-fan boys and I get so disappointed when I'm trying to show off the awesomeness that is the berry and the low battery indicator pops on and spoils the mood. Lol...this is soooooo annoying! I need more juice to change the minds of the deceived! ;)
motoroid7 Jan 20, 2011 at 2:45 pm
I would love to win this! This would be awesome power solution for the significant other and I!
josh7308 Jan 20, 2011 at 2:52 pm
This is perfect for me! Being the mobile admin at work, I have several different devices (iPhone, Windows Phone 7, BlackBerry) and having a mobile charger would save me much wasted time and effort keeping up with so many different chargers! I'd never be without power!
puck62 Jan 20, 2011 at 3:23 pm
This would come in handy while watching weekend sports, with my buddies, because my phone blows up with texts and emails causing my battery runs really low...
with a Powercell I wouldn't have to run out to the car to charge up during the games!!!
WazzuKirk Jan 20, 2011 at 3:33 pm
I travel all the time for work, so this would be absolutely perfect!!!
kailashr Jan 20, 2011 at 3:36 pm
All in.
caggie77 Jan 20, 2011 at 3:41 pm
I,m charged at the opportunity to win a Ventev PowerCELL.
We can use with BB and other devices.
hydrosine Jan 20, 2011 at 4:16 pm
As i like to go to festivals like roskilde, sziget and a lot of smaller ones. It always is a pain to stand in line to get a little bit of juice in my Blackberry 9700. This would make me able to use my blackberry all festival long!! awesome!!
dfanella Jan 20, 2011 at 4:18 pm
I do a lot of traveling and my Storm 2 is used pretty heavily. this product would be great!
BerryGirl1204 Jan 20, 2011 at 4:19 pm
This would mean more hours of talking and texting throughout the day. I'm always having to plug it in while im on the phone.
osminik Jan 20, 2011 at 4:44 pm
Hi
would live to had one to avoid taking multiple batteries all around.
levinej Jan 20, 2011 at 4:53 pm
This would be a great addition to my Bold 9650 / and soon to be Playbook combination, especially for long trips!
tediprude Jan 20, 2011 at 5:42 pm
This device would be wonderful to have on hand when I have long waits and the stress of hoping my Torch won't run out of battery power, I had no idea that the battery life of a Torch was not as good as it was with my Bold. Still love my Torch though.
Please consider me for this one....
Peace....
vickdashiznit Jan 20, 2011 at 5:46 pm
This is soooo convenient !! I go on road trip a lot so this would be perfect cuz Google map drains out battery pretty fast not to mention BBM all day and surfing the web
dee.one Jan 20, 2011 at 5:48 pm
I travel a lot so it would help me keeping my gadgets full of juice when i need them!
rredal Jan 20, 2011 at 5:51 pm
This device would be great for all the traveling that we do...it would really come in handy.
bassoprofundo Jan 20, 2011 at 6:52 pm
I'm on my Torch literally the entire workday, and it's just not keeping up with me without access to a charger. Having this would give me the ability to go mobile and not have to seek out an A/C plug every time I get to a new location.
hopatrickz Jan 20, 2011 at 7:36 pm
I commute on my bike everyday so it'd be cool to keep one of these things handy in my bag for just-in-case situations! I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 in White woot woot
apalm8 Jan 20, 2011 at 7:42 pm
I like to think I get the most out of my Blackberry...I am always using BBM, browsing, or listening to music so I eat up a lot of battery! I am always out and about so this seems like the perfect way to always stay charged up!
jwu910 Jan 20, 2011 at 8:18 pm
This would be great to have on the long days away from home. I could charge my phone on the go, without having to look for an outlet! Charging would not be a problem on the busy days running from school to work and back to school. Great accessory.
loneagwolf Jan 20, 2011 at 8:21 pm
One of these days I will win something...anything
Dalan Jan 20, 2011 at 8:33 pm
I travel quite a bit, and this would keep my torch fully charged.
Yell0w Jan 20, 2011 at 8:40 pm
Spend my time always on the go, especially during subway ride, need to turn off data services in order to save battery. Having a mobile charging solution would be great!
Magex47 Jan 20, 2011 at 8:48 pm
It supports phones and devices other than Blackberries so I could even help a friend out if his device is in need of a charge. This is great for long work days where you're on the go and never stopping. :)
RVLead Jan 20, 2011 at 9:17 pm
I work for one of the major banks and we are not allowed to have cell phones out due to security concerns. (Guess they think we all work for WikiLeaks!). Since the bank has also decided to pull desk phones as a "cost saving measure" I lock up my Storm 9530 but leave it on in case of emergency. By lunchtime my battery is practically drained to nothing and I spend half my lunch sitting in my car recharging it. This device would keep me connected without the worry of missing an emergency call due to battery drain.
webmn Jan 20, 2011 at 9:31 pm
I need this! With traveling with my torch, I need that extra juice! Often, by the end of a day, the Torch is toast, so this would be awesome! Good luck to me.
Bchaps16 Jan 20, 2011 at 9:42 pm
i would love this to charge my bold an d maybe my ipod on the go!
darkbeer#cb Jan 20, 2011 at 9:45 pm
Would love this to use with my Storm. I like using Endomondo to track my bike rides, but with the GPS use, and live Facebook updating, the battery on my Storm drains quickly. This would allow me to live track longer rides.
Kezzsim Jan 20, 2011 at 10:04 pm
Man- This thing would be a dream come true- Not only to recharge my Blackberry, but it's got the same standard as some of my battery powered equipment! I'd never have to buy another AA for them again... !
jbeek Jan 20, 2011 at 10:46 pm
This would sure help keep my 9700 charged up when I go on multi-day bike rides!
teejaywhy Jan 20, 2011 at 10:54 pm
I would love to have this to take on trips. No more running out of juice on the plane when I'm trying to read using the Kindle app. We will soon be a 4 BB family, so I'm sure we would put this to good use!
bestevez Jan 20, 2011 at 11:09 pm
My wife could definitely use this charger with her Tour. She's always complaining how the battery doesn't last that long and she's not able to charge it on the go.
thedan862 Jan 21, 2011 at 12:08 am
This would be SWEEEEETT!!!!!!! I am always having to carry around a charger to recharge my device and look around for a receptacle to plug it in to. a royal pain in the buttocks.....especially if i can't find one......
eagletreo Jan 21, 2011 at 12:50 am
After working a 10 hour shift last night I was held over. Unfortunately, I'd used my Bold extensively and the battery was on fumes. Fortunately I was able to get a a hold of my wife to let her know I was ok and would be home late before the battery completely died. Having this tucked away in my duty bag could help tremendously.
ajamu06 Jan 21, 2011 at 1:21 am
I do love my new Torch overall, but I miss the battery life of my Bold 9000. This would fill in that loss of battery life gap pretty nicely.
redman12 Jan 21, 2011 at 1:28 am
Oh men, havent been to crackberry website for a long time! I'm coming back to Blackberry! Pick me!
jallred86 Jan 21, 2011 at 1:53 am
Being a college student I am constantly away from a charger, and often not close enough to a power source to compensate. I use my Bold 9650 to communicate home, across campus, and setting up future professional appointments and a dead phone battery is unacceptable. I probably don't NEED the accessory as much as others but the peace of mind that I will always have my most essential- essential.. my BLACKBERRY would be an incredible gift. I appreciate a chance to win and love all the contests here on Crackberry.com. Win or lose, I will still be an addict!
alaskabennett Jan 21, 2011 at 3:05 am
An awesome solution to the dreaded dilemma - wait and charge, or get going and risk running out of juice at a critical moment! Please pick me : )
EchuOkan1 Jan 21, 2011 at 4:10 am
Awesome. I have been looking for something like this for my Torch.
Riskiboi Jan 21, 2011 at 5:30 am
well i use my bbm alot n usually run out of battery ..this ill help me styay 24*7 wid my bbm frnds :)
zayyaf90 Jan 21, 2011 at 6:05 am
sweet device this ... would llove to have it ! :)
Thumbless Jan 21, 2011 at 6:18 am
I blow through my curve battery much to quickly. Addicted to both my crackberry and audio books, this is perfect to get me through a day of traveling. Pick me! Pick me!
mcmullinmcm Jan 21, 2011 at 6:39 am
On a conf call yesterday and ran out of juice. no wall plug around so this would have rocked.
ianfrommontreal Jan 21, 2011 at 7:38 am
I hate having to charge my phone in the car once or twice a day and then multiple times when I get home. This is a great idea !
jdub20 Jan 21, 2011 at 8:05 am
I'm always on the go, and with the PowerCELL I won't have to worry about my battery going dead.
CUB1 Jan 21, 2011 at 8:10 am
Im on my Stom2 at least 15 hours a day. I have to keep a charger near by. I would love to win a Ventev PowerCell
Evalast AV Jan 21, 2011 at 8:25 am
This would make a great addition to my travel bag!
kensington Jan 21, 2011 at 8:34 am
Well, I'm kind of a big deal, which means that you can usually find me protecting humanity in some vast corner of the universe. Take Kenya for example. While fighting rebelious Lion mothers, this charger would allow me a lot more time in the field (no pun intended) to disarm and negotiate with these extremely dangerous (and usually pregnant and hormonal) cat beasts. More battery life means I get to focus on the job at hand. If my phone dies in the midst of playing a funny youtube video or voice note to these hairy beasts, I'm toast. Look, I'm good, but I can't dodge a well-placed paw swipe while I dismantle my phone to install the spare battery then wait for the boot up..... Lethal consequences there. I don't mean to be selfish, but I work hard for the money, and it would be nice to have a piece of equipment that could make my life a little easier. Crakberry rules!

juice9279 Jan 21, 2011 at 8:35 am
Exactly what I'm looking for for my 9670 Style...battery life must be as bad as the Torch. I hope I get chosen!
ilikebacon Jan 21, 2011 at 8:45 am
It'd help me and my BB family keep up. :)
indyrubi Jan 21, 2011 at 8:49 am
I'm on the road alot and my storm 2's battery wont last all day. This would help towards the end of the day to keep me connected.
Thanks for the chance.
AnneO Jan 21, 2011 at 9:16 am
I would simply like to have my 9700 battery life last longer than my sister's DroidX.
kakoarellano Jan 21, 2011 at 9:20 am
my torch battery needs to be charged all the time.. each time im at the office i gotta plug it in... would this... plus the wifey could also use the hook up with here torch too...
dakid72 Jan 21, 2011 at 10:01 am
This device would be awesome in keeping us (my family) charged up. With my bb and my wife and son now in the bb family it would definitely help along with all the other phones in the house. The ability to carry this around and give us an extra boost when low is great, plus we all can't use car chargers all the time.
cfbassman Jan 21, 2011 at 10:16 am
My VZ 9630 Torch has always had battery problems. I have read the bulletins and done everything possible to extend battery life. This product will do wonders for someone who uses his BB with battery draining apps.
Prince_Poppycock Jan 21, 2011 at 10:53 am
This would be a great way to ensure my battery doesn't die on me. Awesome contest!
rpkielty87 Jan 21, 2011 at 11:20 am
I too have a Torch and work extremely long hours, typically 12 hour days M-F and some weekends. I use my phone constantly since I need to call clients ansd usually have to end up putting my phone on the charger before noon everyday. Its a huge hassle
loopdokter Jan 21, 2011 at 11:59 am
This would be handy to have.
punto88 Jan 21, 2011 at 12:11 pm
I travel weekly, and always end up with a dead phone. This would be very convenient to have as I am never near a power outlet!
cubez Jan 21, 2011 at 12:20 pm
I could use this I'm always running out of battery.
mpatchez Jan 21, 2011 at 12:26 pm
This would be great for my storm. I like to spend my summers traveling from music fest to music fest around the country. I always have 5 batteries on my body and usually use them all. My blackberry has become my favorite all in one tool, except for the batteries. Would be cool to just charge my device between acts instead of fumbling around with the door and batteries in the middle of sweaty crowds of thousands. Its also a bummer when you miss once in a lifetime Kodak moments with artists because my berry is still rebooting. This would make the game different, plus I could also use it on other devices eliminating the need for other battery mishaps. I hope I can win this!
rickyt123 Jan 21, 2011 at 12:30 pm
I do alot of traveling and finding charging stations at airports can be quite challenging sometimes! This would be a great add for me!
jwsnj3rd Jan 21, 2011 at 12:40 pm
Very cool would be very handy I want one.
sliver007 Jan 21, 2011 at 1:22 pm
I would love to get one of those, the wifi eats my battery while avoiding roaming charges
kraski Jan 21, 2011 at 1:28 pm
Between GPS, several BBM groups, web, plus using the calendar, contacts & email for work & ministry, anything to keep my Torch going is an essential.
bahandi Jan 21, 2011 at 2:58 pm
Let me start by saying that OS 6.0.0.424's battery longevity is the most impressive that I've experienced. I've gotten through 9-10 hours of intense use: bbm, emails with attachments, twitter, browsing... and still have approximately 40% battery left in the day.
However, I'm one of the unfortunate few that faces the reality of OS 6's "fatal battery bug." It's at this point (40%) where I'm afraid to pick up my phone. I've seen my phone go down to 10% "normally" when using bbm or sending text messages. But if I were to open the browser, browse twitter or listen to music (anything battery heavy), the 40% quickly becomes 5-8%.
This wouldn't be so bad, but I pick up my wife after work everyday. With Winnipeg weather being so temperamental at times, I need to ensure that she stays where it's warm if I can't get to her in time. If, by chance, my phone loses so much battery instantly before I leave to pick her up, I'm left worrying that she may end up waiting in -40 degree weather longer than she should.
If I win this battery, it will ensure that I can communicate to my wife; whether to stay where it's warm, or that I'm ready for her to get into the car.
sam81#IM Jan 21, 2011 at 3:08 pm
I could keep several devices charged with this baby. woo Hoo. Thank you CB and Ventev
stabstabdie Jan 21, 2011 at 3:24 pm
i really need this. I have almost NEVER got through a day without a charge. Plus, my inpulse watch can use a random charge here and there if i forget to keep it topped up (its great on batt life).
danageplan Jan 21, 2011 at 3:31 pm
I am always prepared I have THREE batteries, but my iphone lovin friends and some not so prepared berry users i know would love this when we go camping.
LDawg07 Jan 21, 2011 at 4:23 pm
I would use this so i can continue texting my grandma. Stay strong <3
jymbrittain Jan 21, 2011 at 4:29 pm
drop and charge..so easy even a tired business person at the end of a 20 hour day could do it. Hook me up!
s2by10 Jan 21, 2011 at 4:32 pm
I'm always running around town and traveling. This would help me stay mobile and charged up!
FreddyE Jan 21, 2011 at 4:44 pm
This would be sweet for weekend outings
optimus_CRUZ Jan 21, 2011 at 4:47 pm
Awesome concept. Would work out great for me(9650) and my wife (8330).
spaceinvader1984 Jan 21, 2011 at 4:49 pm
this would be so convienient. not always having access to a charge can be very annoying.
when im out i sometimes have to turn off wifi and blutooth to ensure my 9700 doesnt run out of juice. with this i can leave them on and not have to worry about my phone dying, i could just charge on the go!!!
rubcal Jan 21, 2011 at 4:49 pm
i need it, more gps and 3g conection
essex2start Jan 21, 2011 at 6:12 pm
Super cool!!!!
theshortone19 Jan 21, 2011 at 6:49 pm
this would come in handy when I am at school!
ka5023 Jan 21, 2011 at 10:31 pm
I already carry 2 phones+media player on me, and it sucks to have one of them die!
sam81 Jan 22, 2011 at 12:14 am
This is awesome. I would love the chance to use one of these
Erick_Gonzalez1081 Jan 22, 2011 at 1:54 am
i am in desperate need of a charger right now i am a high school student with no money and now no charger for my blackberry. the only way i can charge my phone is by connecting it to my computer through the usb cord, and still my battery sucks on my storm 2. i would love and appreciate this. thanks
pdcmdbb Jan 22, 2011 at 4:02 am
I love my BlackBerry! I own one of the most popular smartphones on the planet. I love to show it off - all the great mobile features and apps that are designed to make life easier. And they do! As long as I've got a charged battery or able to hook up the AC charger. Somehow showing off your high-end mobile phone doesn't have the same punch when you have to have that AC charger plugged into it to keep a battery charged long enough to use all the wonderful apps and features the phone was intended for. Please spare me the embarrassment of those situations! The Ventev PowerCell is the perfect solution! I will forever be in your debt! :)
tigeraf Jan 22, 2011 at 5:54 am

canoer Jan 22, 2011 at 9:38 am

LacyA9000 Jan 22, 2011 at 10:45 am
I recently went from a Bold 9000 to a Torch. I love both phones and use them interchangeably. I mainly carry the Torch, but the Bold also has features I love. The biggest problem while doing this is that I often forget which phone I charged, therefore I get to work or class with a dead battery...

I would LOVE to win this for myself and my daughter!! We both have a BB torch and that would help us both out immensely!! She travels on her job and needs this while she's on the road and I wouldn't have to worry about her so much knowing she has this available...thank you.

illicitstylz's submission!
this would provide that extra few hours of battery for my phone in an emergency, if i dont have my car charger or computer/wall outlet to charge up my phone, i can just pull out this ventev powercell to charge up my phone!

ever since i changed my 9700 os to the OS6 my phone has been dying super quickly if i had this it make my life MUCH easier since in my university has a small about of outlets and i have to make it my mission to look for an outlet when my LED is flashing yellow, this would let me charge during m lectures AND make my University life WAY simpler. Please my life needs to be filled with other things, not searching for outlets!
