So here's the deal... VentureBeat posted an "exclusive" article this afternoon saying Facebook has no plans to release Instagram for BlackBerry 10.
No offense to VentureBeat, but whatever sources they have that are familiar with the matter, I have better sources that are even more familiar with this matter. I checked in with my contacts that all but gave formal confirmation that RIM continues to have a strong relationship with Facebook, who now owns Instagram, and that you will see Instagram come to BlackBerry 10.
Remember, Facebook took to the keynote stage at BlackBerry Jam Americas just a couple weeks ago to show off an early preview of Facebook on BlackBerry 10. Do you really think they're going to snub us BlackBerry users on Instagram?
As for my confidence level on this one... let's just say if I'm wrong... how about I'll buy somebody a car. Leave a comment to this post telling the good folks at Instagram how much you're looking forward to a BlackBerry 10 version of thir photo-sharing social service. And if you don't see Instagram for BlackBerry 10 hit, I'll pick the name of one of the lucky commenters and buy them a car.
PS. While I've been on my Mobile Nations World Tour I've been on Instagram a lot. I love Instagram. You can find me there @crackberrykevin.
BBOttawa Oct 13, 2012 at 12:09 am
The app war begins...but not with Instagram, they will be on BB10. I'll take a Nissasn GTR if not true :)
G-bone Oct 13, 2012 at 12:09 am
I want Instagram on BB 10. That way I would use it. If they don't come to BB 10, I won't be using it.
Venture beat? They still around?
I hope you don't have to buy me a car Kevin. One day soon we can both get haircuts. But not too short.
BB 10 - FTW!
BBOttawa Oct 13, 2012 at 12:09 am
And Skype will be there too, just think HTML5...
viking67 Oct 13, 2012 at 12:16 am
I want a new car....er....I want Instagram on BB10!!! Or a new car!!!!!!!!!

I'm Pretty sure you're right. However, I'd like to signup for the car lottery (not to say you're wrong, I just don't want to miss out on a car LOL!)

fliguy Oct 13, 2012 at 12:41 am
I NEED Instagram on my Blackberry device! Using it on my Ipad is SUCH a hassle, and it's still worth it. Having it on my phone will change my world. Can't wait.
CrackBerryHarry Oct 13, 2012 at 12:51 am
I'm wasting my time posting. Instagram will be on BB10.
Nex_Gen Oct 13, 2012 at 12:54 am
Kevin, ill tell you what. Since I appreciate all the great work you do. You should buy yourself a new car and just let me have the Range Rover. Hey buddy, you deserve the new ride. But let's just hope it doesn't come to that because I was Instagram on BB10, ya heard!
waiting4rim2catchup Oct 13, 2012 at 12:59 am
I may get a limo and have Kevin drive me around
revil-0-316 Oct 13, 2012 at 1:00 am
Very clever, leaving a comment 4 a car that will never ever a had a chance to be won by one of us. You nailed it kevin, you nailed it! Haha! Instagram 4 BB10, Like!
gord888 Oct 13, 2012 at 1:10 am
I don't use instagram, but if you are wrong and you happen to pick me... Chevy Volt please :)
Juliandil Oct 13, 2012 at 1:22 am
BB10 will have Instagram, but i'd be just as happy with a Subaru BRZ.
jafrul Oct 13, 2012 at 1:45 am
One of those who would want a car but that means no instagram?
Heck.. I want instagram... Regardless the necessities. Just for the heck being able to be one with my friends sharing photos and all..
Win me a car and an audi s5 should be sufficient.
eszklar Oct 13, 2012 at 1:56 am
Bugatti Veyron. A REAL one. Thanks.
Kiddo_24 Oct 13, 2012 at 2:11 am

Kidding but not really. I'll take any car, but I doubt you'll need to get me one, Kevin ;)
symbotier Oct 13, 2012 at 1:57 am
As a European urbanite, I don't currently have a car. Or instagram on my BB9900.
If I can't have instagram I would love it if Kevin bought me a Smart Car. Or any car that runs QNX!
uzmarvel Oct 13, 2012 at 2:00 am
I'm eager to see Instagram on BB10.
Shadberry Bold Oct 13, 2012 at 2:14 am
So I'll take the Porsche 911 with two 64GB blackberry playbooks in the headrests!!!!!! Lol
macjakjak Oct 13, 2012 at 2:14 am
I will invest my hard earned money on a blackberry 10 with Instagram. As a poor college student, I would love to have any car. Please and thank you Kevin.
vel4769 Oct 13, 2012 at 2:30 am
So Instagram is coming to BB10. That's great. However if not get ready to spend some cash Kevin.
kosmos2503 Oct 13, 2012 at 2:33 am
When Kevin Says it is there... It means it is already there.... U kno Y...b'coz he is very much an insider... ;)
aragone79 Oct 13, 2012 at 2:36 am
it's a great news we got here, if instagram will be coming to BB 10. Why should you buy 2 or 3 smartphone if only by 1 smartphone, you can do everything. Hope that this will come true.
cannot wait for BB10

i want a subaru sti please
BY923 Oct 13, 2012 at 3:20 am
FB, bring Instagram to BB10! Don't miss out! (Now, if you do, Kev., I'll take whatever it is you're driving.)
pshemek Oct 13, 2012 at 3:21 am
Damn Kevin. Your offer puzzles me. Now do I want to have Instagram or not?
con4n007 Oct 13, 2012 at 3:27 am
I comment just so I could win a car
Lol
skm67 Oct 13, 2012 at 3:45 am
give us instagram!!
MRSOSINCERE Oct 13, 2012 at 4:20 am
Hope you're right Kev!!! But I could use a new car!!!! ;p
svelt Oct 13, 2012 at 4:33 am
A car could pretty much mean any car...so ironically this bet could actually cost Kevin less than the P9981 contest if he picks up a hyundai pony.
Anyhow, BB10 will have instagram so it's moot
ubermanx Oct 13, 2012 at 4:39 am
Instagram was one of the social apps I really enjoyed while testing a Samsung S3. I look forward. To having it on my BB10 phone as well.

I love how there was more comments to win an sd card then there is for this because of the amount of faith we have
blackberryto Oct 13, 2012 at 5:55 am
IMO, this now assures BB10 success. Skype is important as well, and I hope it comes, but Instagram is the one that I hear even current blackberry users wishing they had. And I think there was a real likelihood of losing alot of these people over this one app. I was confident it would come, especially when I saw Facebook on the stage at BB Jam, but this assurance is welcome. This also points out what Alec Saunders says all the time on Twitter when people ask him this stuff - Blackberry can't announce products for their providers. I'm sure BlackBerry would love to come out and make the statement Kevin did, but it is not theirs to make, that is for Instagram.
p.s. Kevin if your wrong, I'll take a car :-)
freya09 Oct 13, 2012 at 6:41 am
Does this mean we will be getting Instagram for PlayBook as well?
dm3ready Oct 13, 2012 at 7:16 am

I'm pretty easy going, how about "if" its me, you can just give me a picture of a of '57 Belair. Taken obviously with Instagram, toned either black & white or sepia.
Cheers to Instagram.
mikeplus1 Oct 13, 2012 at 8:21 am
Instagram is great, but a car might be better.

Don't use instagram but it'll be awesome on bb10 for sure!!! Maybe I'll start using it on the bb10!!!!

Can anyone explain to me why an app that takes people crappy pics and then makes them even crappier is so important?
Am I the only one not taking crazy pills?
marko868 Oct 13, 2012 at 9:39 am
So basically NO themes on BB10 and Instagram WON'T work on any pre-BB10 phones seems like you cut off one foot to please the other...
Good luck competing with Windows Phone because with these decisions you will never reach Apple or Android in market share.
Blackberry_Fiend Oct 13, 2012 at 9:41 am
If Instagram is on BB10 devices, I'm buying one. If Instagram isn't available, I'm still buying one. Guess I'm just one of those crazies that doesn't let app availability run my life or affect what I purchase. With that being said, I want a flying car Kevin. But I will settle for a BMW M6 or some Aston Martin automobile with Playbooks in every headrest....SHABLAAAMMMM!!!!
jhspears Oct 13, 2012 at 9:42 am
2012 Range Rover RX Sport please! But I'm sure Instagram will be on BB10...lol.
Injection Classique Oct 13, 2012 at 9:49 am
Come on Instagram...make sure you will be on BB10. But don't rush to get released. Make sure everything is working perfect. So maybe a May or June release would work....lol.
(Ford Fusion Hybrid please....lol)
slagman5 Oct 13, 2012 at 9:55 am
There are plenty of people trying to tarnish the Blackberry name. I don't know if they feel threatened, or they just want to talk crap because they think they are better with their full touchscreen phone that looks exactly the same as every other touchscreen phone, or what, but there are so many people who seem EAGER to talk down Blackberry every chance they get. Don't know what the chip on the shoulder is about...
chan_the_killer Oct 13, 2012 at 9:56 am
We not gonna need instagram as blackberry will have their own software to edit images :D

I'm not a Facebook user but love BB10.. Thanks for getting good the truth out.
svjones Oct 13, 2012 at 10:45 am
You certainly put your money where your mouth is. This is pretty intense Kevin.
I certainly hope you're wrong and someone wins this car but if you're right, we get Instagram so win win!
gezaim Oct 13, 2012 at 11:00 am
I'm not picky, any car would be great!

Brian Scasta Oct 13, 2012 at 11:41 am
Ill throw my name in for it. A Lincoln would be nice. i wont get it though, because bb10 will have instagram
Randyburgja Oct 13, 2012 at 11:41 am
Instagram on BB10...just like Skype was coming to the Playbook!? RIM are a bunch of jokers, you can make whatever amount of applications available on the device, but if the hardware cant support it, it does not make sense. Ever compared Facebook for BlackBerry to Facebook on any 4.0+ Android phone. I think Instagram is the last thing RIM and BB Fans need to worry about. I just updated to the latest dev alpha software on my BB10 device and if this is an indication of what to expect BB is Dead!
Still a BB user!! :)
xtremesniper Oct 13, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I'll be honest. I'm pretty confident that Instagram will be coming to BB10 as well, but I'm commenting just in case. ;)
I'll send off a tweet to Instagram about this.
Jonathank Oct 13, 2012 at 12:03 pm

THE GREATEST CONTEST ON CRACKBERRY SO FAR!!!! Even though I agree with you that we will have Instagram on BlackBerry 10, I'll bite. Since I'm in Canada, Alberta to be precise, where it is winter 10 months of the year, I'll take anything that is 4wd. Thanks in advance Kevin :)
SuperionMaximus Oct 13, 2012 at 1:16 pm
Kevin, you need to start a talk show, Oprah has got nothing on you lol. But I'm sure you're not going to have to buy anyone a car as Instagram is pretty much a lock for BB 10 and because instagram is a great service that's a great thing for BlackBerry 10 customers.
brendanberlingeri Oct 13, 2012 at 1:19 pm
I believe every word you guys say. I have been a Blackberry fan and customer since the day my parents let me get my first cell phone. Im talking the scroll on the side, ya that far back. I will always support my favourite Canadian company RIM!!! What im trying to say is that im a poor student trying to become somebody in this world and could really use a car. Now i hope Instagram is not on BlackBerry 10. Or should i say THE10!
danp2000 Oct 13, 2012 at 1:23 pm
If we don't get Instagram I'll dream big and take a Mini Cooper Roadster (stick), Cooper Works Edition.

Not going to ask for an expensive car. Would settle for a matrix or Yaris in black. Doubt your wrong about the instagram but glad to know it will be offered. =)

I would love to have Instagram on BB10. I would love to have a BB10 device since my Bold is on its last legs and I am holding out on buying anything until it comes out. Much like my car, I am holding out on buying a new one until it completely dies.
loopdokter Oct 13, 2012 at 7:28 pm
What kind of car Kevin? And what's the cutoff date before you buy the car? ;)
airmo Oct 13, 2012 at 7:56 pm
I would much rather get a bb10 phone...wink wink. Or a car would be nice as well.
I am looking forward to instagram because I have been a fan since its begging but have never had a chance to use it as I only have a blackberry torch.
dantesinclair11 Oct 13, 2012 at 8:01 pm

Instagram is gonna rock BB10 and further prove to all my iOS friends that RIM and BlackBerry are alive and kicking. They just took a rest for a bit ;).
Ps: since you didnt specify the TYPE of car .... Is it gonna be a Dodge Viper HotWheels or a maybe the new Richochet Tonka car ? lol

I can't wait for BB10 to hit the market. I truly believe RIM will make a comeback. I was at a concert tonight and I saw a lot of BlackBerry users. The man sitting next to me had a white Bold 9900. I love it when I see people still rocking a BlackBerry. From all the videos I've watched on CB, I am loving what I'm seeing! Oh, I would also love a new car. :D
Gawain Oct 14, 2012 at 2:58 am
Hi Kevin! I bet you will be right about Instagram, but just in case you aren't, I would like a Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ 4x4 Z71 Crew Cab. If trucks or SUVs aren't allowed, how about...well, I will won't get greedy and we'll make a deal. ;-)
As to Instagram, I think it's a great product and it would be real boon to BlackBerry to pick it up!
Pyxie Oct 14, 2012 at 3:22 am
Not sure how I feel about Instagram and we'll see how it is after FB has owned it for awhile (I expect some changes).
Would be interesting to try and see how it works on the BB10.
BionicKris Oct 14, 2012 at 5:19 am
I love the news of Instragram coming to BB10. But in the case it doesn't make it I'd like a 2013 SRT Viper GTS in Stryker Red Tinted Pearl. http://www.drivesrt.com/2013/srt-viper/

Rootbrian Oct 14, 2012 at 7:32 am
I probably won't ever use instagram, due to the large numbers of photos I shoot when I feel like it. Too many to mod & post. But it'll be great for consumers!
Now, for the motor for my bike. I'm sure that'll be less than a car. :D

pretty sure Kevin is right on this one but just in case sign me up!
fignewton Oct 14, 2012 at 11:30 am
The real question to me though is, why haven't Blackberry's already had Instagram? It can't be because of the hardware, as there are weaker phones running it, and have been for some time. I wonder who is being the stubborn one, RIM or Facebook? That being said I've wanted this app for a long time.
mthomps07 Oct 14, 2012 at 11:57 am
I don't exactly live and die for Instagram but it is a big deal to a lot of people. Regardless, I wouldn't mind so much if I got a car out of it all!

hmmmmmm.....a car or Instagram, decisions...decisions, whew...that's really a tough one!! I believe getting a car would probably edge out having Instagram on BB10, just barely though...
pysik Oct 14, 2012 at 5:36 pm
Would love to use instagram on my BB...but a new car sounds pretty awesome
BluCheze Oct 14, 2012 at 5:52 pm
Coming to BB in...2017!
jkomo001 Oct 14, 2012 at 6:09 pm
I'd love to see instagram on BB10, it is a great app that is missing out on a HUGE chunk of users! I know I'd get it, and tell all my fellow blackberry users to get it as well. Also, with BB10 coming out the possibilities of the app are endless!
TimJW Oct 14, 2012 at 6:10 pm
Yeah, I'd love a to have a new car, but how would I share it will all my super cool quirky friends with a beautiful, uniquely filtered photo on twitter?
I think more people would get enjoyment of instagram on the ten, then would get of a new car.
DeepBlade Oct 14, 2012 at 6:34 pm
LOL.. looks like there's big confusion about whether Instagram is coming to Windows Phone or not as well... http://bit.ly/WlSugV .. That being said, I would definitely prefer Instagram on a BB10 device over a Windows Phone device.
WillieLee Oct 14, 2012 at 7:42 pm
My entire life's goal has been to apply soft focus filters to my plates of pasta and post them for the world to see. Yet because of the lack of Instagram I have been stymied. So it is with a warm-heart that I greet Kevin's promise that Instagram is coming to BB10.
birdman_38 Oct 14, 2012 at 9:34 pm
It will be mine. Oh yes...it will be mine!
burton21 Oct 15, 2012 at 12:09 am
Ive only seen someone demo instagram for me once, it is the only photo editing app i would use on a mobile device.

Erik L Oct 15, 2012 at 3:07 am
A new car, Kevin must be 110% sure instragram is coming to BB10 xD
But ofcourse i'll enter, an Audi RS5 for me plx. Just send it to the Netherlands^^
Instagram will be nice op BB10;)
Toxic Oct 15, 2012 at 4:29 am
omagosh....Instagram on BB 10 or a CAR? Hmmmmm....
thegooz Oct 15, 2012 at 4:37 am
Looking forward to Instagram.....
but if not, a manual Cadillac CTS-V Wagon in red would be fantastic.
SPACE-AGE-INC Oct 15, 2012 at 6:53 am
C'mon VentureBeat. Blackberry has an open/uncluttered app market that's waiting for an app like Instagram to dominate. While I've only owned Blackberry smartphones, I have given your app a spin. It's very intuitive and creative. Choosing not to have it on the BB app market is like the iPhone only being AT&T exclusive. We both know the benefits of having a product available on more than one platform. Make it happen!
makoui22 Oct 15, 2012 at 8:27 am
As much as I like Facebook, a new car would be MUCH better!!
ashworth Oct 15, 2012 at 9:34 am
Ill take instagram, but if CBK is wrong, then... I like silver!
mister160 Oct 15, 2012 at 9:49 am
Lets get Instagram!
ChibiBlackSheep Oct 15, 2012 at 11:25 am
We are happy to become part of the Social Community and keeping our BlackBerry devices!
BarracudaBob Oct 15, 2012 at 11:56 am
Somehow I doubt Kevin is wrong about this, but here's my comment just in case. I'll even settle for something simple and practical like the Hyundai Elantra.
BlueRocks Oct 15, 2012 at 12:38 pm
You're nuts!
Not you, Kevin, I meant Instagram.
I hope they do come to BB10 as it is a pain in the but to view an instgram link imbedded in twitter on my Torch 9810. IKt doesn't seem to scroll properly to view the picture.
But if they are nuts I will take the car!
thp007 Oct 15, 2012 at 1:19 pm
I will take Lamborghini with QNX. :) Thanks!
Mike1117 Oct 15, 2012 at 4:47 pm
I didn't read through all 400+ comments that came before me but just in case nobody has mentioned it yet, Kevin NEVER said he would buy you a NEW car or that it would be in running condition. You can probably get a clunker for $50. He didn't even say it would be a real car. You can get a nice Matchbox car for $5 or less.
But this doesn't matter because Instagram is coming to BB10!!!
ajamu06 Oct 15, 2012 at 7:05 pm
Yeah, if you're wrong and you draw my name, I want a new Buick LaCrosse fully loaded, so both are sakes, I hope you're right.
Hwycop Oct 15, 2012 at 9:27 pm
Expect Instagram to be on BB10. If not I will have to console myself with a new car. Thanks Kevin.
rabbitupnorth Oct 16, 2012 at 5:25 am
rabbitupnorth: Facebook should absolutely introduce Instagram to the BlackBerry 10 fold -- But don't forget the PlayBook audience!
Faagmer Oct 16, 2012 at 7:42 am
Glad to hear Instagram is coming to BB10 =)
rookier Oct 16, 2012 at 8:01 am
I'm torn on this. I currently have an Android phone and don't use Instagram, but I understand that BB10 needs it to be successful. However, it would be crazy if it didn't come and someone (read me) won a car.
guddibaba Oct 16, 2012 at 9:47 am
Get the Instagram on board. Car!!!!! may be some other time.
Arturo Medina Oct 16, 2012 at 9:58 am
That is awesome news! looking forward to have instagram and post all my pictures when I get that wonderful device in my hands
wazzugrad Oct 16, 2012 at 10:39 am
would love to see instagram on BB10
jasperlin Oct 16, 2012 at 3:23 pm
bgr is at it again. this thread should be bumped to the front page.
i want instagram! looks awesome.
brucep1 Oct 16, 2012 at 3:24 pm
A new Car! Instagram needs to be there for BB10, because itll be there for all others.
djsuba Oct 17, 2012 at 2:37 am
Instagram rocks!
KiraSaint Oct 17, 2012 at 5:23 am
Instagram on BB 10 is what I want....and a car
Cracklen Oct 17, 2012 at 2:15 pm
Instagram on BB10 !! but if not, not a new car just pay-off my 2008 car debt .. which is waay less than a new one thanks :)
fantass Oct 18, 2012 at 7:16 pm
Nissan GT-R would be just fine.
luciasm93 Oct 19, 2012 at 9:45 pm
I'm pretty confident that he's correct. Instagram must be on BB10!! Now if only BB10 would go to old devices as well :(
Btw... if Instagram doesn't come to BB10, instead of a car I'd like a BB10 Compatible device! :)
or if that doesn't work... I'll take a white 2013 Chevy Camaro with Pink stripes :3
henryg23 Oct 22, 2012 at 5:37 pm
I'd like a Toyota Prius or a Smart. I'm kinda on the "green wave". Of course, assuming that Instagram won't be on BB10 and that you can buy me a car and send it to Colombia :D
mikelcal Oct 27, 2012 at 9:21 pm
put me down for a car as well. then I can take a picture of it and upload it to facebook with Molome...LOL just bring instagram on for the massess
cambridgeguy13 Nov 1, 2012 at 9:22 am
instagram sounds great, but id prefer a car. thank you very much.
exwindchaser Nov 1, 2012 at 10:09 am
I despise Instagram and I already have plans on what I'll do when it shows up on BlackBerry 10... [insert evil laugh here]
Also, I'll take a 2013 Kia Forte Koop. I'm very easy to please ^___^
sbndrf Nov 1, 2012 at 10:49 am
I never used Instagram, but I can operate a car. Guess my priorities :-)
teamfoster03 Nov 1, 2012 at 10:54 am
A new car would be nice. But im betting Kevin is correct.
now where is the prediction for bb10 launch date?
Mathrin Nov 1, 2012 at 11:07 am
I would love me some insta-blackberry-gram action right here! Saweet!!
ellas_1 Nov 1, 2012 at 11:23 am
I hope I win this car!!! I've been needing a new one for so long. It would literraly save my life.
But i know they will come out with Instagram on BB10, so I better start saving.
thecollin Nov 1, 2012 at 11:43 am
i'd love a BB10 Car. This deal is bitter sweet.
RanCeese Nov 1, 2012 at 11:51 am
I'm ready to dump my POS Pyramid for some BB sexiness. While I've gotten quite attached to Instagram, I kinda hope it doesn't happen just to see if Kevin's promise is forrealsies , lol.
YukonRyde Nov 1, 2012 at 12:07 pm
While I would love to see instagram on the bb10, I would love even more to just be able to get the newest Blackberrys. I live in rural alaska and no longer have the option of getting a new one. I've been rocking the 9650 for over a yr.
FuzzyFish Nov 1, 2012 at 1:25 pm
Bring it on Instagram! I want to see what my BB friends are eating!
raptorfan Nov 1, 2012 at 1:29 pm
wow nice contest! bring on BB10!
optikdementia Nov 1, 2012 at 1:40 pm
hell, if it drives, my wife and I will take a car! haha. But I'm pretty damn sure instagram will hit for bb10. It may not be the largest subscriber base, but still going to be another shit ton of zeros added to their user base if they do it.
SlcCorrado Nov 1, 2012 at 1:44 pm
Haha ok.... Ill bite :)
zegra Nov 1, 2012 at 1:53 pm
I trust Kevin's information but a chance at a car is worth the 5 seconds to file out an entry slip. Provided Mobile Nations keep the spam to a minimum. Which they have so far.
Shintocam Nov 1, 2012 at 2:44 pm
Honestly I think I should win the car. See just about everyone else on here - it's a win win situation. If instagram comes to the BB10 then they are happy. If they win a car- they are happy. But for me - I could care less about Instagram. Don't need it, dont' want it, don't care. However, I'm VERY glad to see such popular software being ported to my favourite mobile platform so I guess...
Oh never mind. Give me a car.
Tariq.H Nov 1, 2012 at 3:24 pm
I want both instagram on bb10 and a new car! lol
xmasberry Nov 1, 2012 at 3:47 pm
Now I'll have to try out Instagram to see what the flap is about. If it doesn't show up, though, that might mean a car. C'mon car (though once I try Instagram I may end up addicted)
Nogrentain Nov 1, 2012 at 4:48 pm
I'm looking super forward! Can't wait to have it all on my BB10. Not having it all will make me sad, while driving around in a Tesla Model S Signature, with the panoramic roof and paint armor options in signature red. *sigh*
MRJUCY Nov 1, 2012 at 4:49 pm
To me it's not a make or break app but it's one I'd really like to see, I think Facebook buying them means it's more likely to spread to all four serious mobile platforms.
tigerstyle Nov 1, 2012 at 4:59 pm
Instagram for BB10 is a no brainer! New car ftw
prime51 Nov 3, 2012 at 10:47 am
A New car vs Instagram on blackberry... Hum...
RoboticGolem Nov 5, 2012 at 11:00 am
Should be interesting if it doesnt come to bb10.
evilhunter101 Nov 5, 2012 at 9:23 pm
This is an old(ish) post so idk if the offer is still on the table. But if you're wrong, I'll take a car, give me a price range or pick 5 different models and I'll choose from what you pick. That way you don't end up breaking the bank. lol.
Lauren Halliburton Nov 23, 2012 at 8:04 pm
LITERALLY: IF BB10 HAS INSTAGRAM--I will wait til Jan 30th for IT! (That was the ONLY reason I was going to switch to the iphone5 from my beloved BBTorch..come January when my contract on my torch is up..I WANT INSTAGRAM ON MY PHONE)
DO IT BB10!!! I WILL WAIT FOR YOU! :) (i didn't want the iphone anyway)
*But I also need a front-facing-skype-like/facetime-like app to talk w/ my iphone friends by FACE.
CAN YOU DO THIS??
indie_b Nov 24, 2012 at 12:14 pm
Altho i dont see the hype over IG.... Seems like you can do the same things via twitter and FB....and with BB10 having the awsome camera app and editing, do we really need IG..... Maybe if we got IG then that would answer my questions....
robkd Nov 26, 2012 at 8:51 pm
Hmmm I still don't think so, but I'd love to be proven wrong on this one.

Although I do believe that Instagram is coming to BB10. Just in case it doesn't though, i'll take the newest Dodge Challenger SRT8 available.
mabaseball28 Dec 10, 2012 at 3:35 pm
Instagram would be great, but a car would be greater.
Marly_MarlsT Dec 11, 2012 at 6:03 am
i hope it comes!!
on the other hand if it doesn't i'd like a 5dr 2012 BMW 1-series
From the UK
tfp Dec 14, 2012 at 9:52 am
I'll gladly take a car if Kevin is wrong :)
eyhab27 Dec 14, 2012 at 10:02 am
i never commented on this, so in case instagram doesn't launch would love to put my name in the hat for a car haha
DuexNoir Dec 15, 2012 at 3:04 pm
LOL. Hope Kevin doesn't have to eat his word...or dish out a car for someone.
~I am BlackBerry by choice~
Dennis9590 Dec 18, 2012 at 3:13 am
if you are handing out a car.... let me think. i would love to have a spyker c8 aileron spyder if you will not mind the price :P
Mellfee Dec 20, 2012 at 7:02 pm
Buy me whatever car you like.
RyOz Islam Dec 27, 2012 at 6:39 pm
I am also pretty sure Instagram will be there. I am loving how BB 10 is catching up. I am a hardcore Apple fan yet I am loving BB 10. I am for sure getting a BB 10 instead of iPhone 5.
bonewtts Jan 1, 2013 at 4:50 pm
my name is Derek Watts.I've been a blackberry owner for 4 years now, this being my 4th year, I currently own the torch 9850. Instagram i can't wait to have your app for blackberry 10, i constantly half to see my peers around me with their Android and IOS devices snaping and sharing pictures on Instagram and i personally cant wait to have it on blackberry 10.
if i do happen to be picked for the car that would be really cool
cashton310 Jan 9, 2013 at 12:43 pm
I can't wait till Blackberry 10 comes out!!!!!! I really want instagram on my blackberry. i dont wanna get droid i love bb
Paladinleeds Jan 10, 2013 at 5:16 pm
How about just buying me a Nokia Lumia 920 and paying for my Orange contract (I'll pay insurance if bought from Phones4U) until I can get it unlocked so I can use my Three SIM in it? But if BB10 gets IG and WP can't... well let's just say someone (and it won't be me) will nuke Redmond...
fsutton999 Jan 13, 2013 at 1:16 pm
Facebook would be insane not to support BB10. And the clutch just went out on my pickup truck, so a gently used Tacoma would be fine.
vulfadli Jan 14, 2013 at 2:34 am
But if they don't, the new mazdaspeed3 would do just good :D
Molyned Jan 14, 2013 at 10:55 pm
INSTRAGRAM PLEASE COME TO BLACKBERRY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
arjitmehra Jan 18, 2013 at 8:05 am
Dafuq? seriously kevin?well for one i want the car DEFINITELY,but man i am in complete agreement with you ...instagram on bb10 is like 100 %
cooliosam Jan 23, 2013 at 1:14 am
What phone are you using Kevin for Instagram? I've been on galaxy s3 for a few months to test out android. It's a little clunky and I hate virtual keyboards! Can't wait for bb10..I just order a Bold 9790 to hold me over! But I had Instagram on the S3..Need it on BB10 to keep my account alive!
shankeith Jan 26, 2013 at 12:23 am
Bentley GT COUPE

someone tell instagram id even pay for the app on my bb10.
I already have a car, but i'll take an extra battery for my z10 as a prize lol
magswlu Jan 30, 2013 at 11:42 am

I did :)
Gigi0108 Jan 30, 2013 at 12:13 pm
Please INSTAGRAM, come to BB10!!!!
firsttimecaller Jan 30, 2013 at 12:21 pm

FSeverino Jan 30, 2013 at 4:12 pm
I would prefer a tesla...
Taurus1984 Jan 30, 2013 at 5:48 pm
There's no Instagram for BlackBerry 10 :)
Who's gonna get a car from Kevin?
krodha Jan 30, 2013 at 6:15 pm
Kevin should at least give away a free Z10 to someone. And a slap to the back of the head of his 'contacts' at RIM/BlackBerry.
fyreball Feb 4, 2013 at 3:16 am
C'mon Instagram! The Z10 is here...where are you?
Good luck everyone! :)
sgtoca Feb 11, 2013 at 10:34 pm
Fingers crossed for Instagram to come to BB, its been long overdue! The circle is complete once the app is on BB as no one on this planet will be left out anymore. The world would be a better place no?
rickyekaputra Feb 15, 2013 at 1:31 pm
are you really sure about what you shared?
rickyekaputra Feb 15, 2013 at 1:31 pm

con4n007 Feb 21, 2013 at 11:47 pm
I don't really use instagram at all..
Its on my iOS device yet I never touch it
101ron Feb 22, 2013 at 2:21 pm
Come on Instagram! I need Instagram on my Z10!! It's time!,
asendi Feb 28, 2013 at 4:25 am
Instagram for BB10... still waiting
greenwayd Mar 1, 2013 at 7:08 am
I'd love Instagram, it's one of the reasons I have an Android phone as well.
I'll take the QNX built Bentley if you're in the buying mood... also delivery t South Africa will be a bitch
BB in the house Mar 2, 2013 at 1:20 pm
I recently went from a BB 8830 to the Z10. Wow, night and day. I hope to use instagram as my significant other has it on her iphone.
I wanna post pictures.
But never the less a car on face book will do.
Vintage 75 Lincon Continental would be a nice post.
AkashRuhela Mar 11, 2013 at 8:36 pm
A car and Instagram for BB10 sounds good to me.
brout Mar 12, 2013 at 4:34 am
I'm not surprised that Instagram is coming to Blackberry 10. I don't use the site. It's hardly a deal breaker like it is for people. LOL.
MC_A_DOT Mar 26, 2013 at 11:39 am
The site is pointless. all you can do is view pics or sign up.
The app is whats the beast.
textngo Mar 13, 2013 at 2:24 am
should it come down to it, I wouldn't mind being picked = )
Jennifer Valliere Mar 15, 2013 at 6:26 am
Having Instagram for BlackBerry 10 would sway me more to upgrade from my Torch to the 10 instead of iPhone. So let's get this done!! :)
BTW I'll take a JEEP
Josh Raver Mar 19, 2013 at 12:45 am
I'm sure you're right, but i could use a new car, so I might as well hedge my bet
:)
juridiculous Mar 19, 2013 at 11:05 am
I'll take my 1967 Ford Mustang Fastback in dark blue, please.
