How's this for a T-Shirt to wear to Waterloo?!
* Update: CrackBerry Kevin approved BlackBerry By Choice t-shirts and hoodies are now available from RevBerry.com. Get yours Here today!! *
I'm heading to Waterloo next week for Research In Motion's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. I need a t-shirt to wear. Last year I wore the RIMPIRE Strikes Back. It was a big hit with those in the know, though I have realized since then the average person doesn't know what RIM is, nevermind the RIMPIRE.
So this morning I asked the CB Nation for ideas and our readers delivered. A bunch of great slogans were suggested, so I'm going to work on getting a few of them designed up.
One of the most popular slogans suggested was BlackBerry By Choice. This is play on the phrase RIM's CEO used this week in his Editorial to the Globe and Mail where he said, "They are - like many of us - BlackBerry people by choice."
BlackBerry By Choice. A powerful statement. But I figured given the passion of CrackBerry readers and the BlackBerry situation out there with so much negative sentiment seemingly going on that we could punch it up a little. So we went a little hardcore and added a little "we're #1" message to the t-shirt for all the haters and trolls out there. :)
Consider this a working draft... but if you guys like it, I'll make the .EPS file available so you can download it and make your own. Or if you have any awesome suggestions on how to tweak it up, let me know in the comments. Just let me know quick - gotta get some of these babies printed up before I fly out.

Virgin Atlantic to show off BBM on in-flight ads
Seeing advertising for BBM seems to be pretty thin on the ground as far as I can tell - unless I'm missing something. The word on the street is that the following video was created by UK design company Pope Wainwright for use on Virgin Atlantic flights. We haven't really seen any videos of this sort used by airlines in the past, but this one is a real gem. From the Pope Wainwright...
BlackBerry Taiwan Z10 ad is great but we might be a little biased
When it comes to the BlackBerry ads being run in North America, there has been plenty of talk about how they could be better improved. Now, I'm not overly familiar with how ads are run in Taiwan but one video posted in the CrackBerry Forums from BlackBerry Taiwan certainly got my attention for several reasons. It hooked me by playing off a 'The Devil wears Prada' story line, then got...
Race day for Team BlackBerry at the British Formula 1
The Mercedes AMD Petronas (A.K.A. Team BlackBerry) team are off to a flying start prior to the race today. In the qualifying round Lewis Hamilton took 1st. place followed by Nico Rosberg to ensure the team will be at the front of the grid - so fingers crossed we are in with a fighting chance of getting on the podium once again. You've probably noticed the above Story Maker video. I was...
