Now that sponsored invites are already rolling out to beta testers, the BBM team is already looking at other ways to monetize BBM. One way noted in a recent survey sent out was the possibility of being able to customize your very own BlackBerry PIN, so instead of getting a bunch of random numbers and letters, you could potentially assign whatever you wanted as your PIN presumably with some exceptions.
If you were able to personalize your BBM PIN (e.g., 11112222, COOLDUDE, BB3RRY10), how interested would you be in customizing it?
The survey goes on to ask whether or not you would pay for the option but considering that's a closed survey and not everyone can take part in it, we figured we'd run a poll for the masses. Personally, I'd probably pay a one-time fee to have a custom PIN but if it was an ongoing cost then I'd be less likely to use it. Have your say in the poll below.

Sure, I can see the advantage in that you could have the same PIN as...
Have you changed your mind on BBM stickers?
It's not too often that we revisit polls here at CrackBerry but I thought that when it came to BBM Stickers it was worth asking the question once again. Back in April (2014) when we first ran the poll asking if you were using Stickers the results were a mixed bag. 37.55% of voters said yes, they were using them. 35.01% said they weren't. 27.44% said they were still sitting on the...
