With 2009 here, it's time to take some time to reflect on the year that was 2008. For BlackBerry, it was a good one! Despite some delays, RIM has seen record growth and sales and a ton of promising new BlackBerry devices hit the market. 2008 will also go down in the RIM history books as the year that they held their first ever BlackBerry Developer Conference!

To have some fun and reflect on the past year, in the CrackBerry forums we set up a little Best of 2008 section where members can vote on a variety of categories to determine the Cracky Award recipient. There are several software categories, member categories (most helpful member of the year, etc.) and of course one for BlackBerry Smartphone of the Year. The race is tight between the BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Storm, so if you have an opinion on that be sure to login and make your vote count!

Voting closes at midnight on Sunday, January 11th, and I'll blog up the results from there. As if you didn't hear this enough in 2008..... but here it is one more time.... GO VOTE!!!!
