Entry #20 - Getting Away With CrackBerry Love | View All Contest Video Submissions >>
* keep in mind we're not announcing the ten finalists in any particular order - 6 more to come! *
While the third finalist we announced in our I Love My BlackBerry video contest was a 9m13s long BlackBerry tale, our fourth finalist's video is short, but sweet. All of our judges got a real kick out of Jeff Jenson's CrackBerry Love video submission. It's definitely clever. You can read the story behind the video below. Nicely done Jeff!!
More finalist announcements to come. It wasn't easy for our judging team (ten person panel, 5 male, 5 female, varying ages - I'm not on the judging panel) to narrow down 80 entries to ten finalists. I'm sure when all is said and done you have may have a few picks different on your own top ten list (don't forget, we're going to follow up with some bonus round picks as well). But you can't make your own top ten list unless you watch them all, so be sure to visit the entries page to check them all out!
The Thought Process Behind Jeff's Entry
Here's what Jeff told us about his entry:
Well me and my wife have been married for over 3 years now and in that time I have gone between different BlackBerrys and now I have the Storm, with the 5.0 OS of course ;). So I love my cracked OS and CrackBerry for all the play I can do with this. Because of this she tells me I love my BlackBerry more than I do our 3 month old first born baby. But I honestly probably spend more time with my blackberry than I do my daughter. But that doesn't mean I love it more maybe the same.

Very simple and effective! But there wasn't enough explosions or gunfire for me!
LOL, totally kidding, but really, nice job!

Just wanted to thank crackberry for the chance in the top 10. The rest of the videos were great I am thankful to be included in the top 10 with all the other great videos.
Thanks for your comments as well. I appreciate them.

So are we to expect a sequel in a couple years where your daughter learns to write using SureType? ;)
Cute video, congrats!

This makes a great idea maybe I could post a video once a year showing how growing up blackberry is a great way to grow up. :)

So far, you're the only one who has kept things short and simple, and I like that. It's going to be a tough choice between your video and one other I'm waiting to see in the top 10.
Now I'm regretting I didn't do a video, but it would be tough to beat yours.

I got a laugh of this one when I first watched it. I can definately see it on TV as a commercial for the Storm. :-) Good Job!
casperwhiteboy Oct 24, 2009 at 9:48 pm
Definitely my favorite so far. It's actually the only one I have seen that isn't cheesy. Job well done.
linn77 Oct 24, 2009 at 10:31 pm
Cute :D and clever!!! I especially like how short it is! Like yesterday's finalist was okay but it was so long by the end it just felt really sluggish and dull.
Best of luck! :)

How was that one dull? There were fucking explosions in it lol
chriscook.sv Oct 25, 2009 at 3:03 pm
i agree, i got board... short and sweet wins it for me. Its much harder, i think, to get someone hooked and laughing in 30 seconds.
Nice work-

hahaha! That video was amazing!
friedmonkey Oct 25, 2009 at 10:47 am
Congrats on making it to the top ten. I have a baby coming in March, so I had to watch this twice to make sure how I can position the BB on top of the baby. Thanks for your parenting tips. This is one of the best educational videos I've seen. ;-)
Stang68 Oct 25, 2009 at 11:01 am
That's just terrible! lol jk jk ;)
jjenson Oct 25, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Thanks for the comment it was hilarious. You will have to let me know how the parenting goes and congrats on the upcoming addition. It is great being a parent even though its hard work.
Jack Smash Oct 25, 2009 at 7:52 pm
PERFECT! Short and to the point, you didn't spell out the humour, thanks!
jjenson Oct 26, 2009 at 11:04 am
Thanks I was hoping it would leave a bit of surprise for everyone. Hopefully people will like enough to vote for it. Thanks for the comments

Where can I get a browser like that?
jjenson Oct 26, 2009 at 11:03 am
The browser I had in the video was the basic browser nothing special.
greenchalk Oct 27, 2009 at 10:20 pm
