farewell my 9700... i know you're going to a good home!

I meant to get this up yesterday, but the BlackBerry Messenger Stress Test shananigans kind of had me all distracted. But here it is... I'm rocking a white 9700 now, so my black 9700 is getting paid forward to a lucky CrackBerry member. No more waiting... here's the big announcement for who's going to be the new owner of my BlackBerry Bold 9700. AND THE WINNER IS......

Dita

Big congrats go to Dita on this one! We had over 3,000 comments on the contest post and I was blown away by sooo many of them (I read through all 60+ pages). At the end of the day, it came down to the luck of the draw and the BlackBerry Gods we're smiling on Dita. I wish I had 3,000 devices to give to everyone who entered, but I don't, so if you entered and didn't win you'll just have to hang tight for our next device give away. BIG thanks to everyone who participated and left a comment.

And Dita... I'll be in touch. And you'd better take dang good care of that BlackBerry Bold 9700! :)

Below is Dita's post that led him to this win.

You've got it!

Kevin, you've got it. What's "it" you ask? "It" is knowing what the people need and want! You've known what we needed from the moment you created this site! My first blackberry was the 7290 and it wasn't until I got a 8700, a year later that found this site and god bless you for creating it. Every single thing you could every need or experience when it comes to dealing with a blackberry can be found on this site. And its because of you Kevin. I'll never forget the first time I bricked my berry. I nearly passed out right there on the spot. After having a shot of rum to clear my head (believe it or not) i came across the thread - how to fix a nuked berry- ever since then I knew you'd have what I, what we needed... a place, a home for all our blackberry issues. Not only that, you got we want, what I want..............

Your 9700!!!
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

I'm sure this site has open doors for you, and I hope there's more to come. Keep on keepin' on ! ;)

Way to go Dita, I hope you enjoy Kevin's phone. And when it has finally reached it's end, make sure to donate it back to CrackBerry for the CrackBerry Hall of Fame induction. I certainly believe it should be enshrined :) And Kevin, just a shout out to you for being such a gracious gentleman for donating the phone and looking out for all of us. You are sir, a most generous host!
