We're back with our final preview (see parts 1, 2, 3 and 4) of the contestants competing in Round 1 of CrackBerry Idol. The CrackBerry Idol winner will become a regular contributor to the CrackBerry blogs, so among the audition vids you'll be witnessing a future CB blogger. Who that person is will be up to the community to decide, so be sure to watch all of the audition videos so when it comes to the competition rounds (app review, case review, accessory review, device review) you'll know who each competitor is.

Next up we have Josh, Dan, Alex, Alicia and Matthew. Each of them is ready and more than willing to be the next CrackBerry Idol, and they each have some compelling arguments as to why they are the ideal candidate for the position (or in the case of Alex it was the singing talent in his American Idol-styled audition that caught the judges attention). Watch their awesome audition videos below and be sure to leave some shoutouts of encouragement in the comments - the road to becoming the CB Idol is paved with hard work! Keep in mind the community judging starts with the app reviews (not the audition vids), so please keep your comments relevant and constructive.

Let the CrackBerry Idol competition begin! With all the audition videos now behind us, next week begins the start of the CrackBerry competition rounds.We'll bring 2-3 BlackBerry App reviews to the blogs each week. Stay tuned!

What a refreshing and literate person Alicia appears to be. I adore the CrackBerry Team and everyone that contributes to it, but I'm impressed by this person's knowledge of the BlackBerry as well as her background in writing from what she says. No offense guys, I LOVE YOU AND YOUR WEBSITE, but I've picked up many spelling and grammatical errors (former schoolteacher here) and would love to see articles that are well written as well as informative. Kudos to Alicia. Good luck to all involved.

I agree. It would be nice to have a female perspective on BlackBerry, but you also need someone with the skills and knowledge to be able to write for CrackBerry. I think Alicia has both. Good Luck to her!

cp3for3

You make a good point with the female perspective. I never thought of that and I just read articles here without ever thinking about perspective. Hopefully she'll go forward and show us her talents!

Alicia seems knowledgeable, told us why she would be a good writer, not just that she thinks Blackberrys are great. She might not have as much of an outgoing personality as some of the others, but this is irrelevant. She presents herself as a competent columnist who gets my vote!

Don't give up your day job! :)

Wow! The competition is heating up and we haven't even started! I say the serious contenders here are Alicia, Matthew & Josh in that order.

As king of the CrackBerry Nation I wonder if Kevin plans to wield the power to save a contestant from being voted off. We in the serf ... er .. surfdom may have a limited view. He might be aware of assets we would love but are as yet unaware of at a given point in the competition.

Dan's the man this round. Handsome fellow aswell.

Good luck to all!

Dan looks like he's perfect for the position!

I liked Josh's submission the most out of this group. Go Jossssssh!

voltaire

Not only well spoken but very pretty too :)

im rooting for DAN !!! everyone else was bleh..boring .. Dan is fit for the job all the way

jabawokie

Got to be Dan from these guys and girls!

#2 Dan and #5 Matthew get my vote for this one....these things just keep getting better and better

will7201

Josh for me, simply cos I like the Cake song he's got for his ringtone!

Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes

stop having 1/5 entires are girls. There is no way 20% of website viewers are girls. Probably more like 5%. Are you SO afraid people are going to cry sexist?

droidnewbie2011

I would say Dan with Alicia a close second.

dorante2009

I think together, Dan and Josh would be great video bloggers. Dan's got charisma to spare and I believe Josh would save his BlackBerry first and then his wife in case of an emergency :) The real test would be the quality of their writing. I'm rooting for you guys..

red72

seems to have everything you guys need. My vote is for Alicia in this round.

manav

Partly because of the fact that I am a crack-head myself (and one of the competitors) and I always want to see a girl who knows her stuff around BB's. Chicks with berries are hot, chicks with 2 berries are :)

gio54

My vote is For Dan!!

that_maynard

I like Dan, he'll be around for awhile.

forsakenwaste5
