BlackBerry Haiku Contest
In honor of the WHERE mobile application launching on the BlackBerry Storm smartphone, WHERE has partnered with CrackBerry.com to give away a free BlackBerry smartphone to one of its readers.
I know what you are thinking: free BlackBerry smartphone! Where do I sign up? The contest rules are easy. In haiku form, answer the question: WHERE is your BlackBerry smartphone right now? Leave it in the comments section of this post either in text or link to a YouTube video.
Top 10 haikus will be chosen by the WHERE team on March 10th. Then it's up to you, CrackBerry community, to vote for the winner. The winner will be notified via email on March 16th and will have a choice of a BlackBerry smartphone or Gift Card towards the BlackBerry store, value up to $400.
Example Haikus: WHERE is your BlackBerry smartphone Right Now? Here are a couple of examples to get you started:
Nestled in a warm
Place, my BlackBerry smartphone
Waits for a loud ring
In my pocketbook
Probably at the bottom
Under my lipstick
How to Score Additional Points:
1. Standard Haiku format is 3 lines of 5,7,5 syllables. Please adhere to this format, or your entry may be disqualified. Prime Numbers Rule!

4. How are we determining the top 10? The ones that make us laugh the hardest. Simple enough, right?
