I got my BlackBerry Bold 9900!

My trip to Waterloo, the hometown of BlackBerry,  is now officially over. Research In Motion kept me BUSY from the moment I got there to the moment I left, so I haven't had a chance to do much blogging yet on the experience (will catch up over the next few days and into next week).

I was **really** hoping RIM would give me a BlackBerry Bold 9900 as a thanks for visiting present, but when it didn't look like that was going to happen I decided it was time to take the matter into my own hands to make sure I left RIM with a new Bold 9900 in hand. I'm happy to say I succeeded in attaining a Bold... even if only for a *few* seconds. Watch the video above to see the action unfold...

Nice job Kev!. What's with the rest of the crew not helpin with your escape?!

 
 
Posted by KPMcClave Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

I'd be happy to take care of your 9900 while you're doing time, Kevin. Anything to help.

LOL

 
 
Posted by DeeDudnath Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

PLease tell me you did an unboxing!

 
 
Posted by Emu the Foo Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 316 days ago

I'm guessing he didn't. :(

 
 
Posted by Karmaloop Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

LOL @ the Bad Boys music.

 
 
Posted by gord888 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

+1... totally awesome!

 
 
Posted by axllebeer Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Agreed! :)

Posted by frozencloud Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

lol....Kevin saying "oh shit" just crack me up .

 
 
Posted by jussimple Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

LOL...that was comedy gold. It cracked me up too.

 
 
Posted by Emu the Foo Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 316 days ago

I thought I was the only one.

 
 
Posted by captainbdsc Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Looked like a setup prank to me. So did you or did you not really get a Bold 9900?

 
 
Posted by 312 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

I think a more appropriate user name for you would be "Captain Obvious".

 
 
Posted by ordigas Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

LOL! :D

 
 
Posted by captainbdsc Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Yeah the capturing of Kevin, etc. was obviously a prank/joke (I am sorry I offended you by being obvious), but what I really want to know is if he really got a 9900 to keep.

 
 
Posted by Scroat Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Bit of a sissy run u got there Kevin. Looked a little light in the loafers. ;-)

 
 
Posted by AdubK Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Nice police vehicle

 
 
Posted by nomoredroid Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

That "run" was pathetic...:)

That scene almost rivaled the shirtless scene in Top Gun....too much man love going on ;)

 
 
Posted by pkcable Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

He probably can't say if he got one or not. ;) Might be an embargo.

 
 
Posted by bigtime2 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.

If he signed the NDA, he should give the bold to one of us and we will be more than glad to leak all the videos.

 
 
Posted by feldmen01 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Best. skit. ever.

 
 
Posted by Tsudeily Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

LMFAOOO Kevin that was priceless. I love it!

 
 
Posted by Lovesherbb1915 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Ha, I love it. But lol at that "run". :P

 
 
Posted by vx1 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Posted by theonecid Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Bahahahah this is hilariousssss. Good one Kev!

 
 
Posted by estarno Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

How STUPID.

 
 
Posted by pablomdelgado Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Next time have a motorcycle in front of the door to getaway, lol. Great video to end your time at RIM.

 
 
Posted by RicZoh Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

There is 55 seconds I won't get back. Thanks CrackBerry. Its actually more then 55 because now I'm typing....on my BlackBerry PlayBook....about it. :)

 
 
Posted by BGK Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Hey, Kevin was running so fast he had to slow down for the camara! Jeez everyones a critic. Lol
It seems that RIM must be aware that people are waiting now too !

 
 
Posted by zoomlink1 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

I bet Kevin would have ran faster if he had dogs on his tail and "Nike" shoes on his feet... Great video!

 
 
Posted by Revyrah Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Notice how Kevin isn't responding. He's too giddy with the new 9900.

 
 
Posted by RocPlayr Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Dammit Kevin, behave yourself! We all want one but stealing is wrong. You know what happens to Blackberry users in those prison showers, don't ya?

 
 
Posted by slant Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

They get asked for business advice. Android users don't get bothered since you can't really do anything to them, they get raped with malware 4 hours each day until the battery dies. iPhone users on the other hand, they're prime pickens with their pretty little white phones and impressionable minds. They get the sausage.

 
 
Posted by Revyrah Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Omg, is that why Rogers discontinued the white Torch 9800? :0

 
 
Posted by slant Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Could be, I wouldn't really call the Torch pretty though.

 
 
Posted by Revyrah Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

It's pretty, but not to the glamor and glitz of an iPhone.

 
 
Posted by jussimple Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Love the parady. Andranoids getting raped by malware, nice...

 
 
Posted by axllebeer Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

+1

 
 
Posted by 07thking Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

lmfao!

 
 
Posted by zensen Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

I'd like to see a review of the 9900 next week kev ;)

 
 
Posted by Abrante Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

I think I just SHAT myself - Mr. Deeds movie. lol, Kev teased us on this one, and I mean tease to the fullest extent. lol

 
 
Posted by dosto Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Great skit. Gratz on the 9900!

@dunaway

 
 
Posted by gord888 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Posted by DIPPYNA2 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Awesome action Kevin!!! Wish I was there to grab one too! Hahaha

 
 
Posted by greatwiseone Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Awesome that the PlayBook demo mobile was part of the action...

 
 
Posted by Deathcommand Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

I told you that was his Game Plan.

 
 
Posted by bigjman Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

For some reason I had a feeling Kevin was going to do a video running out of rim headquarters with a 9900. The police car was a nice touch!

 
 
Posted by 07thking Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Dam Kev, lmfao here in starbucks! Congrats bro, it's about time, you deserve it!

posted from my crackbook!

 
 
Posted by sf49ers Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

lol..you made my day Kevin...really tickled my funny bone

 
 
Posted by blackmoe Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

LOL - the run reminded me of the pictures circulating around the net 2 years ago of Alex Rodriguez rounding the bases with a purse.

Posted by jfs101 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Kevin, did you guys use the mounted Playbook for the shot inside the car? Or did you snatch it!?

 
 
Posted by jfs101 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Time for a remake of that old black and white picture you took for the original Bold 9000 review!

 
 
Posted by Jimcmf Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

So Kevin ..... does RIM have a lot of good stuff in the Pipeline?

Will our Berrys keep fresh from now on?

 
 
Posted by lnichols Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Funny stuff. Sad to see so many haters that can't even get a joke!

 
 
Posted by Dayvidpriddy Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

You call this a joke? Wow another one that needs to get out more...

 
 
Posted by HyTrojan Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Yo Kev, did you need to remove the vendor.xml file before running off with it?

 
 
Posted by mmoran27 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Please its just an oversized pager. same old crapberry.

Grow some balls and ask RIM the hard questions.

Kissing their ass to get a free blackerry is just sad

 
 
Posted by jome Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Ah, the troll speaks.

 
 
Posted by surrealsounds Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Move along people, nothing to see here, CB fans.

Another sad, hilarious case of "Haters gonna hate". Nothing new.

SS 9_9

 
 
Posted by s2by10 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

lol good stuff

 
 
Posted by iguinu Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

too fooking funny

 
 
Posted by Dayvidpriddy Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

You must not get out a lot?

 
 
Posted by surrealsounds Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Man, if you're gonna make a run for it, you could at least made it look exciting! Duck and weave! Psyche him out! Run in circles! Entice him with doughnuts! This could have gotten EPIC!

Still, I knew a video was gonna come. And I enjoyed it fully.

SS :D

 
 
Posted by Soon2B Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

haha Kevin, that was awesome. a little too scripted but awesome none the less.

 
 
Posted by jeffydude Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Only thing that would of made that better is Kevin getting tasered! :D

 
 
Posted by togardergrosse Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

As the title is 'I got my BlackBerry Bold 9900!' and not 'I **got** my BlackBerry Bold 9900!' Then I believe that Kevin indeed managed to get one Bold 9900 in his possession. :)

 
 
Posted by Revyrah Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Too true... lol

 
 
Posted by tliolos Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

He Definitly got one - for all he does for BB they should give a gold plated one! I expect to start hearing your reviews on it now !!!

 
 
Posted by Revyrah Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 316 days ago

Even more true

 
 
Posted by w.mshati Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Best video on Crackberry yet. And obviously he did get one, regardless if he was busted or not :D

 
 
Posted by BSFA2008 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Even the vehicles are just demos. : (

 
 
Posted by howl078 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Silly.......LOL!!

 
 
Posted by knuckles231 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

He obviously didnt get one guys. The whole thing was a joke. i love how everyone is congratulating him on his new non device.
cant wait to get one though :)

 
 
Posted by ignites Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

too bad thats not REAL rim security =P. real rim security uses prius they have a bunch of them at rim 6 ....

 
 
Posted by Marc_Paradise Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

I'm not gonna say what it looks like you were doing to that poor phone after you got it into the back seat - practically confirmed by the relaxed look and big grin you show in the next shot as you cuddle the phone...

 
 
Posted by Dayvidpriddy Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

YAWN

 
 
Posted by veldacy1 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

lol @ demo vehicle...

 
 
Posted by vecharo Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

either i'm tired...or that was legitimately funny. LMAO!!

 
 
Posted by dancing-bass Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Funny thing. On the rear fender of the car was "DEMO VEHICLE". Perhaps driven by DEMO COPS to protect the DEMO BOLD 9900 that Kevin stole?

Can't wait to see an unboxing of this phone!!

 
 
Posted by Thetnaung Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

kevin, you are crazy but we love you and CB :)

 
 
Posted by snowindec9 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

wow getting arrested in a demo vehicle.that was cheesy. but love the excitement.

 
 
Posted by jamesbyjr Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

A man has to do what man has to do! Desperate times call for desperate measures!!! LOL Too funny!!! We all are going to be doing what Kevin did if RIM does not release any devices soon!!!!

 
 
Posted by SlcCorrado Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

I've only been here since '09 but that's the funniest thing I've seen here on CrackBerry! Nice work Kevin :D

 
 
Posted by Takhis Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Hey Kev, is that the police car where they did the demo with the Playbook? I was wondering if they were using 4G Playbooks for the Police car...

 
 
Posted by Pootermobile Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

Kevin what you needed was some PF Flyers (The Sandlot) you wouldve been able to outrun the cops easily!

 
 
Posted by Revyrah Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 316 days ago

Any time someone makes a Sandlot reference, you get a standing applause. Nice job.

 
 
Posted by stitch69 Wednesday, Jul 13, 2011 316 days ago

lmfao @ DEMO CAR :P

 
 
Posted by bellxx Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 316 days ago

next time take me and lets see if we can pull a bait and switch. I'm a better runner.

 
 
Posted by PiotrJot Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Big LOL Kev!
Was fun watching :-)

And just BTW: did you put on some weight ?
;-)

 
 
Posted by elmorro Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Looks like he put on some buff.... Scary.

 
 
Posted by sirk25 Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Good job Kevin.... But dude, seriously? You got 2 hands, why didn't you grab another one for someone else. Where's the love man? LoL. Cheers......

 
 
Posted by blackberrykyng Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Lol! Too bad you didn't fet away with it!

It's good to be the BlackBerry Kyng!

Posted by Essoo Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Love the new Dodge Charger

 
 
Posted by jlb21 Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

IMHO, that didn't look like a 9900 to me. Looked kinda grey and Curve like......

 
 
Posted by kinghai Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Even the police car is also demo version =))

 
 
Posted by Joe257 Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

C'mon Kevin, you could have walked out casually with it in your pocket! Waving it around was your demise!!!!

 
 
Posted by Tut747657 Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

I like how the car said "demo vehicle". lol

 
 
Posted by JasonBourne Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Unfunny

 
 
Posted by sjawelsh Thursday, Jul 14, 2011 315 days ago

Good to see that the powers that be at RIM have a nice sense of humour to help you out on this.
Nice job Kevin, looking forward to you sharing the whole experience.

 
 
Posted by madcap71 Sunday, Jul 17, 2011 312 days ago

i too got my hands on one of these last night, a SEXY piece of kit, can't believe how slim it is

 
 
Posted by zd1996 Tuesday, Jul 19, 2011 310 days ago

Hey Kevin, what phone do you use for your everyday use? I'm using a 9650 waiting for the bold 9930
