tarektoverso Jan 2, 2013 at 4:37 pm

Why my name isn't among the winners ?

anson1331 Jan 2, 2013 at 4:40 pm

Wow. I thought I would never win with 10,000+ entries. This is the definitely the craziest way to start off the year! Though I didn't win the BB10, I'm still happy nevertheless! First time I won something from CrackBerry!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!

BerryRipe Jan 2, 2013 at 4:40 pm

QuIcKsIlV3r Jan 2, 2013 at 4:58 pm

Congrats, but I personally feel that the winner of the IOU should have been an active member in the community... not just someone who has 1 post in 5 years! But hey...

Anilu7 Jan 2, 2013 at 4:59 pm

Congratulations to all the winners! I hope to be among you next time. :)

Congratulation's

Lebussle Jan 2, 2013 at 5:20 pm

Amazing! Congratulations!!

mundell_eb Jan 2, 2013 at 5:23 pm

I was seriously hoping to win because I doubt I would be able to afford it at launch and my contract expires 18 feb and South African network providers aren't cheap:(... So just some bad luck for me I guess. But still gonna rock OS7 like there's no tomorrow:) and hopefully Crackberry or someplace else would provide more opportunities to win a BB10 device. I've been following this trend since the days of the Colt and BBX so to say I'm excited is an understatement! Anyways have fun with your BB10 powered device!!

aloofkid Jan 2, 2013 at 5:43 pm

As usual you lucky bastards!!! Congrats to the winners and thank you CB for making this kind of contest!

azzurri_94 Jan 2, 2013 at 5:48 pm

congrats to all winners. and as usual, outside Northern America is out of nowhere, huehehehe

all3n7 Jan 2, 2013 at 6:32 pm

Congrats to the winners. Kevin, how do you pick winners? Again Congrats...

RWD Jan 2, 2013 at 6:38 pm

Talk about freaking luck. I found one comment from the grand prize winner, who joined CB in November! Guess which topic ...

Michelle Haag Jan 2, 2013 at 7:24 pm

No, actually the grand prize winner joined CrackBerry back in 2008. Not sure where you got your info but it's incorrect.

RWD Jan 2, 2013 at 9:00 pm

Sorry, you are correct re. Join date - I looked at the wrong line. Still only one post in her profile (to the contest) so still super freaking luck. Even better that the one post in over 4 years is a contest winner.

Unless my SimpleBrowser+ is showing me wrong info, which I am sure you'll correct.

captainm90 Jan 2, 2013 at 6:46 pm

Well done to the winners. Enjoy your gifts! :)

jvictor77 Jan 2, 2013 at 6:52 pm

pblakeney Jan 2, 2013 at 9:19 pm

Congrats all......

LadyLaker691 Jan 2, 2013 at 9:38 pm

Very disappointed that innovation does not win, but lame replies like "pick me! Pick me!" Does!! And you call THAT a "winner"??? Get serious!!!! And the length of membership?? What does THAT have to do with anything??? I am moving on to Iphone. This is way too crazy!!

Michelle Haag Jan 2, 2013 at 11:05 pm

Length of membership doesn't have a bearing on contest wins. For contests with random winners, we check to be sure a person isn't a spammer, but other than that it's up to chance. There were over 10,000 entries, it's not like we sit here and read through every single one and choose the 'best'. It's a random drawing. If the content of the entry was going to be taken into consideration, it would have been noted in the original contest post.

BBVegasGirl80 Jan 3, 2013 at 11:09 am

+10,000! :-)

Bjblondie58 Jan 2, 2013 at 9:47 pm

I can only say that with these winners and future owner of BBs, that'll pave the way for people like me to own used phones like the BB9900 and Torch 9810.

Without what transpired, no way I can afford these gadgets..!

So thanks the lot of yous.!
