Not only is a new year upon us (and to everyone a late happy new year!), but CrackBerry also put out a special edition podcast, the winners of the Best of 2009 awards got announced, a really nice flashback of editors' favorite blog posts and more BlackBerry in other Smartphone Experts networks to be seen. I liked the getting to know CrackBerry.com blog post much too, it was very welcomed.

Also, not surprisingly, various cool contests here with great prizes to be won. It's been a mix of love, hate, stress and relief in 2009 both for everyone behind CrackBerry and the community itself, and I hope this trend continues.

Everyone is still hard at work now, we are just half way through the 3rd Smartphone Experts Round Robin. It will be exciting to see and hear what will be going on here at CrackBerry (and other Smartphone Experts networks) the next few weeks and I'm looking forward to the full length podcast.

Let me use this space to also wish all the best for Research in Motion. Here's to hoping for more innovation and quality from RIM themselves and of course, new devices as well as updates to the tried and true BlackBerry platform.

May God bless you all!
