Yet ANOTHER Reason for me to move to New York. Anybody have a room they want to rent out to a CrackBerry Addict??
So i have been to 3 different locations and it appears that you must visit the spots during "store hours". No Keywords tonight :(
For Shame! Don't they know CrackBerry Addicts operate 24/7?!
15 in 3 mins? Looks like I am going to have some competition here in nyc... there's only 2 million residents in manhattan, how many blackberry addicts could there possibly be??
early morning i see.
The closet one to my school is 20 blocks away. Looks like I will be passing on this :(
i'll GLADLY rent a room out to you .
I'm so eager to start the hunt .
Finally some attention paid to NYC , forget that bold .
Finally a hunt worth roaming NYC for .
you dont need a REASON to roam new york... thats what makes it so great.
however, the storms a plus
ironic how its rainy and stormy here huh?
did u find any keywords yet ?
i went to get a few and then i had an extra hour or two so i ended up with like 25 or so, just walked around downtown, not going uptown though, thats a little much. Although, I did meet a guy who was driving around the city with a friend to get them all
Im going over to a spot thats 3 blocks from my office... after that im heading to my fav bar where theres like 5 in acouple of blocks away from each other
cant get the map to open on the verizon site?
can someone please explain to me how to get the keyword? its telling me to get the vzw kiosk, i dont know what the fuck that means. and there not helping much.
when i try to access the map, the button is grayed out like it was earlier this week and its telling me to come back on the 6th. I have tried clearing my history and temp. internet files but its not working. Anyone else having this problem?
I can't view the map

I suggest you to try download abode flash player from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/
tell me if it not work still
Anyone want to post keywords on here for all of us unlucky CrackBerry addicts that don't live anywhere near NYC?
LOL!
Im not even in NYC..just made a few guesses by looking at the map and now im entered to win :)!!!
How lucky can you get?!
Hows about sharing?!
HAHAHA
Really I'm kidding, well kinda.
Sometimes the key word is actually in the picture :)
Maybe the number of the picture that has the keyword?
: )
I'll try all of them till I get one!
haha
I DID find one!!!
Thank you scottlucky13!
I can't access the map on the Verizon site.... still saying "check back on November 6th"
I found keyword. It says "congratulation and will email me for confirmation" and then never got email from them. confusing??!!
I haven't gotten mine either.... maybe it takes a while for them to send the email...?
For some odd reason that really wouldn't surprise me.
:P i got 11 and so did a bunch of my friends no people or sports illustrated parties for you
The Blackberry Storm scavenger hunt starts today!! I'm totally gonna win one of these...
So if you look at the pics you can get about 5. I just did. It's cool to do a hunt in nyc(from buffalo)
Do you think it is that easy? I would think they would make it alittle harder...
Ya the Buffalo area seems to be lacking on Storm coverage. Have you got any luck at any local verizon stores or bestbuys?
I havent left my desk and got 31 of them.
In the comments section. Someone posted some keywords.
http://deviantdecorum.wordpress.com/2008/11/06/blackberry-storm-hunters/
that's my blog and i deleted the comments from "chuck" that gave some of the answers. i did it out of fairness to myself and those i met out there today hauling ass around manhattan in the rain doing this. i'm sure someone else will post the answers in due time somewhere else or call your friends in nyc and have them do it, but i just couldn't do that to all the people i met today doing this. sorry.
its pretty simple, you go on the website, look at the map walk around that street until you find a little sticker on the door of a storm then you go inside and there is either a large or small round verizon thing and you text that code. the kiosks are in the stores, usually the store people are really nice and will help you find it if its not obvious
*Iman101 was talking about me. I was the one in the car with a friend. We both played hooky from work to "Strom Hunt". It was a lot of fun. We started around 1030 and finished around 700. We've txt all of the keywords except 1. The missing keyword was for the south street seaport location. (If anyone has that code please post something lol)
Needless to say, I met some really cool people along the way during my quest to win a storm. Sadly enough, most of them only had a few keywords. On a funnier note, it was histerical to have the business owners who participated in this hunt requesting I give them keywords lol. Since im not a selfish person, anyone who asked, receved. However, it would be foolish of me to give them all the keywords...right?? :-)
After today, hopefully my chances of winning are increased. I guess ill just have to wait and see..
Is that not true? Are you guys entering all of your codes today? I tried reading the rules and I guess I'm not catching on.
thats what i thought too . But i guess the strategy is to collect all the codes and put one in a day or just type them all in i guess .
you can post once a day from each code. so basically you can enter yourself 45 times a day if you have them all
FYI, I live a few blocks from South Street Seaport and spent a good 45 minutes there last night - couldn't find it. If anybody wants to give a hint. . . .
can i have a few please just to get started ?
I'd really really apppreciate it .
Thanks .
since you helped me out earlier its the last word in the three word area... i.e. if it was in the east village the code would be village... get it?
Thanks man! I really appreciate it. I txt the keyword and it went thru :-) I kind of assumed the keyword would be that, but at the same time I didnt wanna decrease my chances of winning something..u know?
BTW..where was the keyword at? without giving away 2 much info, was it in a store, somewhere outside or inside "something"?
i guessed. haha
does wrong answers decrease your chances?
I was missing 38 and 45 those 2 i never found and i was really thinking they were wrong because i searched all over, if anyone actually has those i would appreciate them, good luck to all who entered
ill help you out but wont give you them... in all honesty, i don't remember. I went through so many that they are all mixed up in my head.
anyway, 45 was the one i recently said was a little off. On the map it said hudson street between christopher and 10th, but it was actually on the corner of christopher and hudson (downtown east corner)
as for 38, greenwich ave and greenwich st are two different places. greenwich ave is just off of 6th ave it bends and becomes 8th st east of 6th ave.
p.s. if anyone I am helping wins a storm, i want some credit!
hey thanks a lot for your help iman, as for the greenwich ave i was thinking about going there but i never did though, thanks for your help and if i win i'll give you all the credit
i was all over new york and on the maps you get at the locations, have duplicate numbers and some of the locations don't exist they say they have 45 but in reality it could be less just to give a heads up about it,
the only one on the map that you got at the kiosk that was nonexistent was number 34 downtown. On the verizon site it is right though.
everything else was good, a couple were half a block off, but for the most part it was fine
there are 45, I know that
just did 2 locations today, #14 and #32
very easy, just walk into the correct retail and there's a big kiosk - can't miss it.
security guard at #14 said to a co-worker "there's another one! if i had a dollar for every time...."
I have been in touch with a verizon guy and he says they should be receiving the storms next thursday or friday :)
Limit one (1) entry per person, per mobile telephone number (“MTN”) and email address per day, regardless of method of entry, and regardless of whether more than one person shares a MTN or e-mail address. Persons are prohibited from participating in the Sweepstakes with multiple email addresses and/or MTNs.
it is a limit of one (1) entry per day for each keyword. Up to 45 entries per day. Trust me, I've been doing them all as well as a bunch of people I've met.
