BlackBerry fan folds ONE THOUSAND origami paper cranes and makes a wish for the success of BlackBerry 10!

wow i am very impressed thats actually quite alot of work congrats for that entry and actually doing it

They need to give this person a free Z10 for their efforts :)

That is truly awesome. Making those isn't easy, especially the small ones and to make 1000. Nice one Hoang!

Congrats Hoang that's what it takes, people that #BB10Believe

PS. @Kevin all I could think about when I watched the slow-mo crane shower was Chris Bosh's champagne celebration lol #ItsTheMusic

We were literally in tears laughing when editing in the music.

RIM should make him an offer for them. They surely must be able to use that in an advert somehow. Or put them round their offices and tell the staff why they're there...motivational.

Beats trying to kill yourself with a chili burger, in my opinion.

Congratulations Hoang!

DAMN!
The intro was rendered reddish again! :/
That looked like hard work, loved the end btw!

Congrats Hoang! That was by far my favorite so far! You totally deserve that new BB10 phone you're getting :) I especially loved when you were showing the finished cranes on the desk and you slide out a bunch more. That was pretty funny. Congrats again!

This has got to be one of the coolest contests.

Awesome! Congratulations!

... I prefer "African American Berry"...

BB8800 (First BB) -> 9530 -> 9550 -> 9860

Good job Hoang and wicked response from the CB team. Enjoy your BlackBerry 10 device!

That is actually really cool! Way to go Hoang! Love the music at the end of the video,nice touch guys...lol

omg that is SPECTACULAR! Great work to Hoang and the CB crew!

That was tough and creative congrats hoang.

The guy with the tattoo is still #1 very crazy.

I know a lot of.people might try to say hoang doesn't deserve the phone because it wasnt as extreme as a tattoo.

Trust me making those paper cranes are a lot of work. You could tell in the video he really worked hard and didn't get much sleep.

That was really awesome. Congrats to Hoang! Spectacularrrr

Well done Hoang. Very proud of your efforts, you are a real trooper.

What I like about this video is that many staff members at RIM have been working and continue working VERY long hours and I'm sure many can relate to Hoang.

Very creative and you deserve the phone.

I see this making a huge impact in Asia!!!

Congrats Hoang. Great to see Chicago representing!!!

Way to go Hoang!

YIKES! Talk about carpal tunnel syndrome. Thank goodness for bb10's voice control ;).

Good work!

Wow nice work Hoang.........I like the slow motion origami pouring down on Kevin. Would on have only been better if they recreated the scene from the movie FlashDance!!! ;)

Great work Hoang!! That could not have been easy, and I love the wish too!

Great job Hoang! You deserve your z10!!!

Very cool! Congratulations Hoang!

Good Job Hoang. Congrats

That was killer! Thank you Hoang for your wish! On another note, I personally kept playing "Pour Some Sugar on Me" in my head when then cranes were falling out. I think that song wouldve been much more entertaining! Great job though!

Love the extra slide of 250 - well done sir! You definitely deserve the Z10.

I know a girl who tattooed the BlackBerry logo on her boobs. But she doesn't seems interested in the contest.
Here's her Fb account.

Look it up

He is definitely deserve the BB10.

Looks like Fruity Pebbles! Awesome!

is anyone outside of the US gonna win ??? ... seems unfair to me !

Nice one! Might be tacky but you guys are crackberry should do something with all those cranes. Hang them up or put them somewhere for display, It would be a shame to either toss them or just keep them in a box.

A needle and thread would allow you to hang them, which would look pretty awesome. Or maybe a give away for the Toronto meetup being one of those cranes. (while supplies last)

Haha nice "American Beauty" Moment insert! Congrats to Hoang!

Thank you CrackBerry Team.
It's my great honor to be the winner of this contest and get my video posted in CrackBerry.com
Thank you all for the comments. I really appreciate it.
#BB10BELIEVE

That's a good man. You put in the work, and you definitely deserve the reward. I also love the wish at the end.

Hoang, thanks for wishing RIM success!
Congratulations on your BB10 reward.

That was awesome Hoang! Enjoy your BB10 phone!

Congratulations, Hoang! Great work - you definitely deserved to win the phone. Nice touch with Kevin at the end being showered with cranes. :-)

Can we PLEASE get a flying Unicorn(s) flying over the shot as the cranes bless Kevin with their luck! I was crying non-stop, but I'm all for any luck for RIM/BB to keep it going.

Very cool! My favorite one so far.

Well done dude! very cool indeed and by no means easy. Congrats on your reward, enjoy it when you get it!

Very nice, but I would have expected hoang to have a recorded the 3 day of himself folding paper crane or time lapse the video of himself folding the paper crane for 3 days to 1 thousand paper crane. Don't want to sound harsh or mean or anything. indeed very impressive if he did show us the process like the other entry with the tattoo being recorded the whole process.

He could have either done with with other helps or he coulda bought it off ebay for $90 1 thousand crane.

By far my favorite winner, can't wait for BB10! Great video.

Congrats, really deserved it :)

Way to go...awesome that you wished for others success too.

And that whole couch pose thing was...was...well it was....

Good job

Congrats to you..!!!

That was just... beautiful. Congratulations to Hoang on his win/wish; he truly deserves it. I've never constructed a paper crane myself, but I'm sure this was harder and more arduous than it sounds.

On the heels of Apple's biggest stock market loss in its history (since entering the stock market in 1984), at -$63.51, in which it lost $52 BILLION of market value, this can't be a coincidence. (For comparison, all of Starbucks Coffee's assets are valued at about $40 billion.) The percentage change multiplied by the dollar amount change has produced the single greatest "magnitude" in the shift of Apple stock ever, at 7.84, and save for one event in 2000 (in which Apple lost 51% of its market value in a day), nothing came remotely close. All things considered, it's absolutely astonishing.

Congratulations Hoang !!

hope ya enjoy the BB10 ya would think with all that folding, your fingers will be all limbered up for it :)

Good job Hoang

Congrats Hoang! You are a truly a BlackBerry person. To fold 1,000 cranes must of required you to "Keep moving forward"!

BB10 is going to be Epic!

I'm come from Vietnam like Hoang. we proud of you and you deserve BB10 :)

This guy is a well-deserved winner! Also, Vietnamese coffee is da bomb!

Kevin, Where/how did you get those red stars on the floor and how do we get one (or more) ????? Please share your secret.

Very impressive, wow.

Good job! Enjoy the best thing for free ;)

WOOP WOOP SWAG

HOLY DAMN!
THAT WAS ONE HECK OF A TON OF CRANES!! :D

Love it when he pulls out the keyboard drawer with 250 more cranes!

Congratulations Hoang! simplest thought , hardest word and greatest dreams

Chúc mừng em, chúc em luôn thành công từ những suy nghĩ giản đơn và thú vị như vậy!

I must say Hoang must have folded each crane in under 2-3 minute each to complete 1000 cranes in less than 3 days? Because I have folded 1000 paper cranes three times already and each time I folded the cranes in about 3 minutes but after a few hours of folding, my hands started to get very tired; when I had spent 8+ hours folding paper cranes non-stop, it eventually started to take me around 5 minutes to fold 1 crane. Some days when I folded about 120 cranes in 10 hours I was already very pleased with the results. Maybe it's because I have folded my cranes smaller than his, which must have taken longer because my 1000 cranes all fitted in a jar that is about 0.75 litre.
By the way I am also vietnamese and I was inspired by Sadako and the thousand paper cranes.

Congratulations on both the phone and having your cranes given to Thorsten Heins in Canada at the big release.
