Here it is folks... the big moment our contestants and sooo many of you have been waiting for in our CrackBerry Idol 2010 competition. Big congrats go (in random order) to the ten contestants who were voted by the CrackBerry community to move on to Round 2: Kerri, Aloha Joe, Brittany, Shankeith, Tim, Joseph, Alicia, Dan, Josh and Dave P!

To the winners: We'll follow up shortly via email with instructions pertaining to your Round 2 reviews. Look for it soon.

To those not moving on: A HUGE thank you goes out to all of you for participating in the CrackBerry Idol competition. It's a big time commitment and you all did a great job. We'll be following up with an email soon with some 'parting gifts' so stay tuned for that. 

What's to come in Round 2: Next up is the featured accessory review. The ten contestants will have the next couple of days to decide what they're going to do for their review, we'll get them the accessories from ShopCrackBerry.com (with next day shipping of course!) and from there they'll have to the end of next week to crank out their masterpieces. The reviews will start hitting the blogs on August 2nd. So while you won't see any CrackBerry Idol posts between now and then on the blogs, don't worry, it just means the contestants are hard at work. Stay tuned for Round 2!

Yes Don_Poky, thanks for the CB vote and the vote of confidence. Though, I believe you hit the nail on the head w/ Dave. Thank you for your support in getting me through to the next round!

A little celebratory comment here...

Thank you to everyone who voted my way. Round 2 should bring out the best of best with guns blazin'.

Congrats to all of you who made it through... but where's Matt? Hmm. :\

Anyway, Crack on!

BRITT AND JOE ARE MY CHOICE FOR THE FINAL 2. WHO AGREES?

 
 
Posted by CrackBerryBryan Monday, Jul 19, 2010 675 days ago

Hope you win Dave. Some folks in round 2 don't deserve this opportunity. Hope you run away with it my friend!

 
 
Posted by Dave Peckens Monday, Jul 19, 2010 675 days ago

Gosh, thanks Bryan. I, too, am a little surprised by some of the contestants who made it through. Still it's a cool contest. I'm actually looking forward to it in 2011! And at least we all have the chance to say we've posted content on CrackBerry.com, right?

 
 
Posted by jlb21 Monday, Jul 19, 2010 675 days ago

Congrats to all for moving on.

However, I am most happy for Alicia, Brittany, and Kerri. I would love to see one of them on the team!

Hopefully we'll make you proud you're pulling for us in this next round. Thanks again for the support.

and also to the other contestants. I'm sure that most of the voters voted for a few that didn't make the Top 10, so please know that you were appreciated. Best wishes.

Congrats to those moving on! Everyone on my list of 14 (could only vote for 10) made it through! I'm looking forward to seeing what the next round brings!

Wow, you could have gone O-for.. How hilarious that would have been given your name! By the way, your feedback has been very good and I look forward to reading your feedback in the upcoming rounds.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their support! Even though I didn't make it through, I'm very glad I was able to participate, and am thankful to all of the CrackBerry team and Nation! To the ones that moved on, CONGRATS!!!! Best of luck to everyone and I look forward to reading what comes next from you guys!

Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see what happens next!

...thank everyone; whether you voted for me or not. Every contestant put a lot of time and effort into their review(s). So for just taking the time out of your daily schedules to read/watch our reviews, Thank You CB Nation!

Now I would like to send a SPECIAL THANKS to ALL of you that supported me, and pushed me through to the next round. Now comes the difficult decision of...what to review? Hmmmm.

To all those who voted for me, thank you!!

To those who also advanced, Congrats!!

To the 14 who didn't, I'm sorry but know that I voted for some of you and was sad to not see your names in the post.

This is where we all have to take it up a notch and show some wow factor. Good luck to my fellow contestants!

Glad to see that Alicia, my fav contestant from round one, got through.

Thank you 3Dee. I appreciate the support. Thanks to everyone who voted for me and congratulations to all of my fellow contestants. I can't wait to see what happens in the next round.

Its happening and half of us don't want it to. Please don't let Britney win guys.

 
 
Posted by CrackCurve56 Monday, Jul 19, 2010 674 days ago

Wow, I am very happy to see a very literate, and comprehensible person get through to the top 10. I will be sure to watch the video and read what Alicia will post next! Kudos to all that got through, and even to those that didn't make it, for trying at all. :) HUGE kudos to Alicia. Keep up the good work!

Just like to say well done to the top ten. Looking forward to read all your reviews. Great to see some favourites through.

Good luck for Round 2!

Thank you CrackBerry for giving me the opportunity to get a post in.this great site. Thank you also for the gifts. Will be using it soon.

Congrats to all the winners advancing to next round, especially Dave P, Alicia, Kerri, Josh, Joseph, and Aloha Joe. I see that most of the round 1 winners reviewed an app that had mass appeal, so make sure you pick a cool accessory to review, because I want at least 1 of my favorites in the finale. Interesting to see how 3 of the Top 10 finalists were featured on the CB podcast while community voting was still open. I guess the Crackberry Team was offering some suggestions and the community responded in kind. Oh, and uh, I think the Team wants Brittany, because they sure went of their way to feature her, as she was both on the CB Podcast and the headline video on the contest trailer. I think she may get hired even if she doesn't win. Ouch! One of you other girls needs to review a waterproof case and do a shower scene wrapped in a towel with wet hair and a leg showing, then we'll see how many still want Brittany? Hahah!

none of them are good anyway. woof

 
 
Posted by kilted_thrower Tuesday, Jul 20, 2010 673 days ago

I'm glad you think this is a beauty contest. I'm going to assume that you're extremely good looking with a chiseled physique?

Geez. If you don't have anything constructive to say then why don't you keep your hater comments to yourself.

Stupid.

 
 
Posted by Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 673 days ago

I was responding to the guy above me who said they should make videos of themselves in the shower. Not a comment just on its own...

 
 
Posted by Aloha Joe Wednesday, Jul 21, 2010 673 days ago

Funny you should mention "waterproof case". I recently requested to review the Overboard waterproof case, so that I could take it, and run it through the ringer (i.e. Surfing, Paddle Boarding, Jet Skiing, and MOST importantly...Shark Caging!) Unfortunately, I was informed (by Adam) that someone beat me to the punch:(

Thus, you can look forward to one of the contestants reviewing that product. But be careful for what you wish for...it may indeed be a shower scene, but it may not be exactly the scene you were thinking of...Lol! All joking aside, I'm sure it will be an informative and awesome review;)

Thanks for supporting ALL of us;) Aloha!
