Contest: Leave a comment to this post saying whether you want the "CrackBerry Thumbs" (pictured) or "Hardcore" version of this t-shirt and tell us why you're BlackBerry By Choice for your chance to win!
OK folks, it's time for Take 2. We're happy to re-introduce the BlackBerry By Choice t-shirt. Our initial version was hardcore. Some of you loved it, some of you hated it (like really, really, really hated it...I get it). So just as BlackBerry will release both a full touchscreen and physical keyboard version of BlackBerry 10 phone to please the masses, we are doing up a second BlackBerry By Choice T-Shirt design. There's power in choice!
The new and improved BlackBerry By Choice T-Shirt is family friendly and plays to that historical characteristic of BlackBerry users... WE ARE TWO THUMB TYPERS! Now you can tell the world you're a two thumb typer and show your two thumbs up of support for BlackBerry at the same time with this sexy shirt. It will be available next week from our friends at RevBerry.com in a variety of colors and styles (and yes, you can still buy the hardcore version right now from them). And while we're waiting for the new ones to become available... we're going to give some BlackBerry By Choice shirts away for free!
BlackBerry By Choice T-Shirt Contest: Leave a comment to this post telling us TWO things: 1) Whether you want to win the family friendly CrackBerry Thumbs Up t-shirt (as seen above) or the more controversial hardcore version (see it here) and 2) Tell us why you're BlackBerry By Choice! Contest ends this Tuesday at Midnight PST. Good Luck!

I will meet you at the apple store with mine as well!
That is a "genius" idea!
AidenSurvival Aug 1, 2012 at 11:07 pm
1) Hardcore version, please! I'm bad-ass and that would complete my awesomeness. :) 2) I'm BlackBerry by choice because I've never been fond of touchscreens. Granted that I had the Torch 9800, I rarely used the touchsreen. And I'm BB-B-C guy because I fell in love with the keyboard.
Had an HTC Evo 3D, wasn't fond of it. Bought a 9310 and fell back in love with BlackBerry after my 4 month love affair with Android.
russ.mtc Aug 1, 2012 at 11:07 pm
For me, I'd love the two thumbs up version. I've chosen to keep using BlackBerry, despite all my colleagues moving to other platforms.
wvu_sweetie#IM Aug 1, 2012 at 11:09 pm
1. Thumbs up version!
Just about everyday I go to work and get ridiculed for being a proud Blackberry user. I constantly hear, "How can you be a software engineer and carry such an awful, low end device? Buy a real phone! (iPhone)" I always fight for my Blackberry and always will! This shirt would greatly aid in my Blackberry defense!
2. I love my Blackberry! Especially my PlayBook! My Torch and PlayBook combined are an unbeatable pair. My phone, messaging, multimedia, and other needs are all covered by these two devices (except Hulu :-( ). Hoping to start development for BB when I have free time. I've even switched my parents to Blackberry and now they never want to leave!
uuyrwds Aug 1, 2012 at 11:12 pm
Two thumbs Up because I never do what everyone else does!
aloofkid Aug 1, 2012 at 11:16 pm
1. I want the hardcore version because I want to tell the world, efff you this is me and I'm a blackberry till death do us part.
2. I am blackberry by choice because I firmly believe that nothing beats blackberry in terms f productivity. Blackberry is the true smartphone, that not just launches apps but even without application BlackBerry is still a smartphone.
BBNation Aug 1, 2012 at 11:17 pm
I want one CrackBerry Thumbs" ..plz
gimmie so I can show off to those iFreaks
Jerky223 Aug 1, 2012 at 11:22 pm
1) CrackBerry Thumbs
2) Because I have a child and I want to wear it at work without someone complaining about the finger or else it will not be worn :( so Thumbs it is :)
springbok Aug 1, 2012 at 11:21 pm
1) Two-thumbs-up version.
2) I'm BlackBerry By Choice because I want something reliable, effective, and efficient for my mobile communication needs. I support RIM, not only because they're Canadian but also, because they will make a comeback! xD
slgta Aug 1, 2012 at 11:25 pm
1. I would love to have the thumbs-up version. Going to wear it at the World Tour @ Waterloo. Size Medium please.
2. I am blackberry by choice as I still think we have the best keyboard. Man, I missed my 9800 slider so much everytime I try to type on my 9860. Looking forward to a BB10 slider as I am greedy and want big screen as well as the best keyboard. In the mean time, I often type using my Playbook instead (like what I am doing now.... Loving it).
Jimcmf Aug 1, 2012 at 11:26 pm
I love all this stuff you are giving away.
I would take the Black Berry by Choice ...... because, I can wear it in more places. I don't think that the priest in church would approve the other one.
If you can add : PIN ME on the back ..... that would be AWESOME. ( A secret code only BB people would know )
Thanks,
J.
urnumber1 Aug 1, 2012 at 11:26 pm
I would like a hardcovers. Me and that finger go back to 2000, for other reasons, I have the pin, the patches and other t-shirts with that finger on it.
I have been BlackBerry since Voicestream turned into The Mobile. My Blackberry's have gotten me through my last decade in the US Army and now my Playbook and soon to be BB10 are going to get me through my masters program and into my new career
The_Adventist Aug 1, 2012 at 11:29 pm
Thumbs up version.
Because BlackBerry was first in the pool and will be last to leave the pool.
kevinpoon Aug 1, 2012 at 11:30 pm
Two thumbs version!
I need to be able to type - that's why I have a smartphone.
-- 9900 --
Kimberly Boals Aug 1, 2012 at 11:37 pm
1) I want the hardcore version because its like flipping the bird to iphone and Android, while showing love for Blackberry.
2) I am Blackberry by choice because nothing beats a physical Blackberry keyboard and I hate touchscreen keyboards. I use my phone as an actual communication device and not a handheld videogame system, so Andoid/iphone offers me nothing that I care about and takes away everything that I do care about (physical keyboard, trackpad, ease of use for texting, email, and internet). Blackberry by choice... As long as there's Blackberry ;)
Alex_Hong Aug 1, 2012 at 11:40 pm
1) I would prefer the two thumbs up version. It shows a little more restrain. :D Plus 2 thumbs typing, and 2 thumbs up. I just ordered a RIMpire Strikes Back Gelaskins for my BB, this shirt will go nicely with that. :D
2) I am BlackBerry by Choice because they just work better for me. I can get things done faster on my BlackBerry than compared to other platforms. I was an iOS user for years before i got my first BB, then i did a little world tour with Lumia 800 and Galaxy Note. Still i prefer my BB. :D Every seconds i save means more time for me to do other things.
lhsbound06 Aug 1, 2012 at 11:41 pm
#1: I prefer the BlackBerry thumbs up t-shirt
#2: I am BlackBerry thick and thin, through good times, and through bad times. My BlackBerry never leaves my side, I'm always using it in some way shape or form. I enjoy cleaning my BlackBerry, and making sure that no fingerprints cling to my screen. Also, I enjoy, wait, I love my BlackBerry keyboard. With the exception of the Storm 2 I had, I've been a physical keyboard user for the past 4 years, and I absolutely love it. BlackBerry is the best brand of phone there is, I don't care about iPhone. BlackBerry all the way
mtnbik3r Aug 1, 2012 at 11:43 pm
i gotta have the 2 thumbs version. for several years i tested new devices for Sprint before they were released and the one thing i could always depend on was that Blackberry's WORKED. i will never stray from the unequivocal messaging and dependability. Unfortunately, i have moved to a small town where my wife is the only local in my BBM. I NEED this shirt to rouse the natives into action!
Just Neo Aug 1, 2012 at 11:49 pm
1) I would love the Crackberry Thumbs Up Shirt!
2) I believe in the future of Research in Motion and cannot wait for BB10 to be release. I love my Bold 9930 and PlayBook. I defend my choice to use them. They perform all of the task I need. I couldn't imagine life without them. I am BlackBerry by choice.
Costa84 Aug 1, 2012 at 11:50 pm
1. Two Thunbs up version.
2. I love proving to others how much more effeciently work gets done with a phone that doesn't need be plugged into a charger, with one hand, doesn't break easily, does everything I want it to do, need I say more?
ricocan Aug 1, 2012 at 11:50 pm
4 Playbooks!
3 BB smart phones
BB10 Patient!
Working hard to keep the family on board!
LOVE BBM!
BB by choice, for the family man!
arrow99 Aug 1, 2012 at 11:51 pm
1) I would like the thumbs up version.
2) I want to support BlackBerry because I am a Canadian. Also, I feel that BlackBerry has the best products on the market.
Zipper Aug 1, 2012 at 11:53 pm
Alright, put me down for the hardcore version, so I can advertise to the haters with pride!
Why am I blackberry by choice? Because there is no competition in its productivity, I support Canadian innovation and I demand a reliable device. The end. I've tried emailing all.
polargeek Aug 1, 2012 at 11:54 pm
1) I want the hardcore version because it get's the point across better
2) I'm BB by choice cause I've tried the rest and keep coming back to the best. You'll never get me to give up my physical keyboard. Touchscreens are great for games but not for real email and messaging use
sleekskyline120 Aug 1, 2012 at 11:55 pm
1) I need the hardcore t-shirt!
2) Here in New York, I feel like all of my friends are hating on BlackBerry and saying they suck and iOS/Android is the way to go. Even my brother got a job at our local Apple store. I want to let everyone know that I love my 9900 and what better way than to say F*** You to everyone else!
jaBBu Aug 1, 2012 at 11:57 pm
1) Hardcore (tank?) for me!
2) BlackBerry by choice... let me count the "whys"!
• Keyboard (although I am thinking of going full screen on the BB10)
• BBM
• Productivity
• Security
• Reliability
• Compressed data (even with big data plans, its faster)
• Been using BB’s since 7xxx series (even tried an 857)
•
•
gbilton Aug 1, 2012 at 11:59 pm
as much as I would love to have the hard core version I think the thumbs up version is for me beacuse I would wear it out and do not wish to offend anyone
why Blackberry beause Blackberry does what it has to do properly (email, text messaging, BBM and most important BE A GREAT PHONE) and has the best keyboards ever put one a phone. they are just all around Brilliant devices for people who don't play around
jedi214 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:00 am
1. I want the Hardcore version please!
2. Still Blackberry by choice because of its efficiency and whatever they say about BB just read the shirt and stare at the Finger LOL
morlock_man Aug 2, 2012 at 12:03 am
1. The hardcore version. It's actually family friendly for my family as we have a strange tradition of taking family photos with middle fingers raised high... Even Christmas.
2. My family are predominately BlackBerry users. I've got a Torch, my Dad and sister both have a Torch, my brother and his wife have a Bold and Storm respectively, and my mother and brother both have Playbooks. I'm Canadian, so I like supporting a Canadian company, but after buying a Playbook and doing some research, I really believe that RIM has what it takes to own this turn around, take back the mindshare from the sheep and the robots and run with this like they stole it.
Umedon Aug 2, 2012 at 12:17 am
I think the Hardcore version is awsome, but I would never wear it.
For me the two thumbs up version is more my style.
and if I don't win one when can I buy one...or three?
And I'm Blackberry by choice because I need a tool not a toy to get my work day done.
jamezalexander Aug 2, 2012 at 12:04 am
Hardcovers please,
Because it's never too late to BE BOLD
James343 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:04 am
1) i would love the hardcore shirt
2) I am BB by choice because I don't waste my time "tinkering" with my phone. I use it to get stuff done, fast. The fact that you can customize it in so many ways so you can do what you need it for fast, and because they're super sexy.
Kornmatix Aug 2, 2012 at 12:04 am
1) crackberry thumbs
2) im blackberry by choice because nobody makes a better or more durable keyboard phone period. My 9700 has been through hell and back and its still ticking and confident it will hold up till blackberry 10 is here!
Hoosier Aug 2, 2012 at 12:08 am
1. Two thumbs up version
2. Blackberry by choice because touchscreen's don't work for me. With Blackberry keyboard saves me time when trying to type an email or txt. Have given the other ones a try but have always come back to BB after a month or 2. .
radewa Aug 2, 2012 at 12:14 am
1) I want the Thumbs Up shirts because BlackBerry is thumbs up for me !
2) I am BlackBerry By Choice because BlackBerry is easy way to connect to family, friends, and other people, easy to use, easy to develop the apps ! I think my blackberry is everthing ! :)
Skoal712 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:12 am
1) I want the thumbs up version because I want to be able to wear it proudly everywhere, even when meeting with clients. I want everyone to know "I am BlackBerry By Choice"
2) I am BlackBerry By Choice because I just bought a new Bold 9900 Saturday my first smartphone By Choice. I was finding more and more myself in a poston where I needed a phone I could use to get my emails while I am out of the office and reply to them fast. I did type phone because I still use the phone to talk to clients By Choice. What a choice I made this baby is sweet the keyboard took me about 15 minutes to get the hang of. I wanted to wait and see what the BB10 phone would be like but I needed to get shit done so I jumped in with both feet By Choice. I am now going to buy a new BB10 phone when they are released in the 1st Q of 2013 again By Choice. I also own a PlayBook By Choice.
FoxxBerry Aug 2, 2012 at 12:13 am
I'd like to have the hardcore, becuse when I say it I mean but with the shirt I wouldnt even have to say it!
I like to get things done in the most effecient way, and thats with my thumbs, so I'll have to pick up the family friendly joint as well
my.usernamegoeshere Aug 2, 2012 at 12:15 am
"CrackBerry Thumbs"
Blackberry by choice because I'm always on the go. This is my communication hub.
shakingthrough Aug 2, 2012 at 12:18 am
I would love the hardcore version because where I live and work I am starting to feel like the last one standing.
Bugsy25 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:19 am
Blackberry is hardcore, no phone compares to it for me. Hardcore phone for a hardcore user. That's why I'm Blackberry by choice !
Dhriab Aug 2, 2012 at 12:19 am
To be frankly speaking i am not that hardcore.
Coming together with blackberry and playbook was just a beginning.
And then there was so much to communicate with each other.
If i won BlackBerry by Choice T-Shirt it will be seriously hardcore stuff for me.
jchavealot Aug 2, 2012 at 12:20 am
1. Hardcovers version because I want all too know. BlackBerry Rocks!
2. I use my blackberry and playbook for almost everything. It's such a part of my life! Iong live RIM!
Thanks :)
Titoeuf Aug 2, 2012 at 12:23 am
1) I'd love the THUMBS UP one simply because I already ordered a hardcore shirt and I'd prefer different one.
2)BlackBerry is more than a choice to me, it's a lifestyle.
Seriously, my fist smartphone was a BlackBerry, my current smartphone is another BlackBerry and my next smartphone will be a BlackBerry 10.
I'm also owning a 64gb Playbook (first generation, when it was 700$ a unit) and a BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha (yep I'm a developer)
As a developer, BlackBerry is the platform I choose to develop on. I'n currently developing BlackBerry only apps for Playbook on free time and planning to be an active developer for BB10. (I already have my Dev Alpha!).
BlackBerry is part on my everyday life, and it was by choice!
csmerchant Aug 2, 2012 at 12:26 am
"Thumbs Up" it is ! Although the "Hardcore" version makes a point in itself, I feel the "Thumbs Up" holds up better. Blackberry users are obviously all proud users and users by choice. They defy the herd mentality which is out there. They don't blindly buy a phone because it the highest selling phone but make a calculated decision to balance work with pleasure. Blackberry stands for productivity and the "Thumbs Up" says it all. I, for one have been using a blackberry for approximately 3 and a half years and have never felt the need to move to another phone. As a matter a fact I purchased a Playbook in March 2012 and till date haven't been able to have a video chat with anyone cause I don't know anyone having a Playbook. But, that doesn't bother me at all as I use the Playbook extensively for work and entertainment. Blackberry Rules!!! , those who think otherwise are Fools!!! Go RIM!!!
Shadberry Bold Aug 2, 2012 at 12:30 am
) I would like the hard core in large
2) I am BlackBerry By Choice because I get things done. Period.
bluetroll Aug 2, 2012 at 12:31 am
1. medium hardcore shirt
2. I'm BlackBerry by choice because I use my phone as a communication tool.
Jackal99 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:31 am
1. Hardcore
2. Because I need to get S**t done!
togardergrosse Aug 2, 2012 at 12:37 am
1.) Should u ask? Of course the hardcore one! The original! FTW!
2.) It's just the BOLDNESS of it that counts. Be Bold!
mackie1214 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:39 am
1.I would like the hardcore t-shirt.
2. I been with Blackberry for over 10 years. Like they say "if it not broke don't change".
Blackberry Rocks!!!
captainbdsc Aug 2, 2012 at 12:41 am
All Thumbs Up!
Because using a BlackBerry IS the professional, effective, efficient way to communicate and get things done.
BoldWorld Aug 2, 2012 at 12:42 am
I want the two thumbs up. I do like the Hardcore version but I can walk around with that, sorry
I'm sticking with Blackberry because I am use to it and I usually go for the underdog
deanodean Aug 2, 2012 at 12:43 am
1) Thumbs because I can show class in the face of intolerant haters.
2) I choose BB because I work with real tools, NOT toys to conduct business communications. It does not hurt to take advantage of auto text/word substitution, business apps, and a phone that works as hard as I do!
RIM950; Ho-hum; Curve 8320; Torch 9800; PB16G; PB64GB
rcheung135 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:46 am
1. The BlackBerry thumbs \version.
2. I've been using BBs since the Pearl came out. Best keyboard phones on the market. I bought the white 9900 to support BB into BB10 because I know they need changes and chances. It's a very (and I dare say unnecessarily) cutthroat industry.
cbdwolff7 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:49 am
#1 I would like a thumbs up!
#2. I need to be able to be in control, not someone controlling me or my device. Security and confidence are a must for me! BlackBerry is ranked #1 in my business and life. Hands down,.. Oh and Thumbs Up! LETS keep getting things done! Thanks CrackBerry everyone for all you do and give and inform.
ph03n1x Aug 2, 2012 at 12:52 am
1) i want the family edition
2) i got my first blackberry 2 years ago now have a 9900/2 pb and a dev alpha i love my phone
xtremesniper Aug 2, 2012 at 12:52 am
Why beat around the bush? Hardcore version please! I'm BlackBerry By Choice because there simply is no other option for me.
I get things done so much faster on my 9900 than my friends on iOS or Android, they're all left in bewilderment when I blaze through multi-tasking apps.
Santiago9204 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:54 am
1) Hardcore because I say things as they really are.
2) I'm BlackBerry By Choice because I'm an astronautical engineering student and I need to get shit done, and BlackBerry people get shit done.
BaconMunch Aug 2, 2012 at 12:54 am
1) Hardcore, because holding a BlackBerry in public today is making a statement and I want my t-shirt to make that statment as well.
2) I'm BlackBerry By Choice because as the majority of my friends move over to other OS, I continue to use my BlackBerry and invest further in BlackBerry because it is a proven tool in my daily use and I feel empowered in my communication knowing I can do things and do them well with BlackBerry.
berryaddictnoza Aug 2, 2012 at 12:56 am
1- Thumbs up version!
2- BlackBerry= Git-R-Done!
adrianod1993 Aug 2, 2012 at 1:01 am
1) id like the original one because it suits my 19 year old college students lifestyle just perfectly
2) i love bbm, love the keyboard and most importantly i love being different i don't like doing what everyone else(ex: iphone , android) does so blackberry is the phone for me.
louzer Aug 2, 2012 at 1:04 am
1) Hardcore version because my thumbs are too tired from typing so I raise my finger instead. And the hardcore version shirt matches the wallpaper on my 9650 and my Playbook right now.
2) I'm Blackberry by Choice because... well... because I choose to be. Or at least I think that it's a choice. Ya. That's right. I choose to spend all day on my 9650 and my Playbook. I can choose to stop if I want. I really can. It's not like I need to keep looking at my phone or swiping my Playbook. I can stop anytime I want. I just know I can. It's not that I can't stop. I just choose not to stop. Addicted? No way! That's crazy! Wait... incoming BBM... See how fast I'm back from that. That didn't take much... wait... just got an email. let me show you the link on my Playbook. Wait...What? I am ot addicted. Like I said, I can stop anytime! I am Blackberry by Choice.
deejayburnout Aug 2, 2012 at 1:04 am
I would love a hardcore t-shirt please. Why you may ask? Cos blackberries are so damn awesome that all other phones pale in comparison. Once you have tried Black..... You won't go back.
eliasso Aug 2, 2012 at 1:05 am
1) I want the thumbs up
2) I still love blackberry for their keyboards and bb,
SDJohnson557 Aug 2, 2012 at 1:12 am
THUMBS UP!!
I love my Blackberries! I have the touch screen version, so far it has surpassed my previous ones...
they all performed better then the Moto Q I started with when I started buying Smartphones. I can use my Blackberry in places that Droids fail to perform!
Zutuk Aug 2, 2012 at 1:15 am
1) I would like the friendly version please.
2) I'm BlackBerry by choice because the interface is very easy to understand and use. Everything about the BlackBerry platform is easy to understand. That's why I'm BlackBerry by choice!
bigghippo Aug 2, 2012 at 1:19 am
Family friendly "T" please!!! I have kids...hahaha My size is XL in case you need it.
I choose Blackberry because I AM CANADIAN! The iphone is an awesome entertainment device that I have yet to own...but I stick with Blackberry because that's where my loyalty is and I have great friends who work for Blackberry...so for my friends sake...Blackberry needs to do well!!!
Jake Storm Aug 2, 2012 at 1:36 am
1) Family friendly... 'cause that's how I roll.
2) BlackBerry by choice for the security. With all the critical data we have on our smart phones now, I want a phone from a company that is serious about security.
asiayeah Aug 2, 2012 at 1:31 am
Thumbs up version please!
I am blackberry by choice because I love typing on a real keyboard! And I couldn't live without the strong crackberry community!
vpodgurschi Aug 2, 2012 at 1:40 am
Hardcore :D My Bold 9000 is the only phone I need for now, until BB 10 comes out :) I plan on staying on it
leontam Aug 2, 2012 at 1:42 am
1) I want the "CrackBerry Thumbs" version, as I use both of my thumbs to type on my trusty 9780, just have to give it 2 thumbs up!
2) I'm a BlackBerry by Choice as I use my BlackBerry to make voice calls (yes clarity is very essential) everyday, and my BlackBerry allows me to type and respond to emails on the fly, not like some of my colleagues who uses touchscreen phones and they claim that it's a chore to type on the screen.
tediprude Aug 2, 2012 at 1:45 am
I sincerely hope I win the:
1. Thumbs Up version of the shirt because I am a teacher and even though I would love to proudly display the hard core version - I want to wear my shirt anywhere I go. I might run into a student or two of mine and the hard core version just wouldn't be appropriate for me.
2. I am BlackBerry by choice because it does everything I need it to do and because I am totally in love with the the BlackBerry keyboard. Need I say more...? I don't think so.
Peace...
cscott44 Aug 2, 2012 at 1:46 am
I want the two thumbs up version. The BB is SOLID. I can count on it to get the job done whatever it is I have to accomplish. I have the 9930 and it is just elegant and classy !!!
3Dee Aug 2, 2012 at 1:49 am
1. Crackberry thumbs
2. It's all about the smartphone hierarcy of needs baby - with my BB I'm always connected and my life becomes easier, particularly in relation to my work (although my BB is my personal device); whether it's keeping up with my email, staying in touch with my family with the still amazing and second to none BBM when overseas, my BB is unparallelled and for me. Over the years I've also got to appreciate the other features and happily use it as my music and radio player, main browser, and can even be found playing the odd game or two!
itr themes Aug 2, 2012 at 1:49 am
1 - Better keep it family friendly.
2 - Because the only toys in my house belong to my kids, and I've got work to do!
wirelessgal Aug 2, 2012 at 1:55 am
1. I want the Thumbs Up version. I'm going SOFTCORE! LOL. Love the design. I would definitely wear this t-shirt in an Apple store!
2. I am BlackBerry by choice because it's the best communications device in the industry. The best in emails by far. The best in notifications. The best in led notification lights! On par with Motorola, in terms of the best in RF and call quality. The best keyboard in the industry. Absolutely love the keyboard on my 9900. By far the best from RM to date. Love the build quality and design of the 9900.
CarGuy1368 Aug 2, 2012 at 2:12 am
1) Family Friendly version please
2) I'm BlackBerry by choice because iPhones are just too mainstream...lol... And because I need a tool that can communicate with people as fast as possible! First smartphone was an iPhone 3G, then my BlackBerry Curve 8900 was when my addiction began... Then came a Torch 9800.. And now the fantastic Bold 9900. BlackBerry is the only way to go. Never going Back!
neilwick Aug 2, 2012 at 2:14 am
1) I like the thumbs version! Thumbs up for thumbs!
2) Everything goes together on BlackBerry. I'm multi-tasking by nature. If it can't do several things at once, what good is it?
kushalk219 Aug 2, 2012 at 2:16 am
1) I loved this version. Awesome TWO THUMBS up and looking forward to have this on me :P
2) I am BlackBerry by Choice because it never hangs, it never slows and have awesome qwerty keyboard. I have BB Curve 8520 and just love the track-pad. Much much better than any touch-screen
Kushal
JCangoku Aug 2, 2012 at 2:21 am
1) I would love the 2 thumbs up version... XL version
2) First I'm no Apple at all since my IT beginnings... it simply doesn't fit me.
Then i don't like the idea that a company have such control over our lives (web searches, web services and apps, cloud, now mobile... ), so i'm no google at all - by the way where's the anti trust law for google ?
And then yes I love blackberry ! I love keyboards (even if i'm tempted by the full touch BB10...) ! BB is very a powerfull tool !
Chrisd534 Aug 2, 2012 at 2:25 am
HARDCORE!!!!!
Ever since I was 12 I always wanted a BB. My dad had one and I loved it. So, I purchased my first ever blackberry off of eBay and have never looked back. Sick of all these people telling me how good iPhones are! WELL I DONT CARE! BlackBerry is BETTER! I have an iPod what do I need an iPhone for?
BlackBerry.. BY CHOICE!
BerrySquinty Aug 2, 2012 at 2:26 am
1) Id just want one of the Tshirts... Both are effin sweet. Either one please.
2) I eat , sleep, breath Blackberry. www.daberries.com (but no compassion to all mighty crackberry)

1) Thumbs-up version because I give BlackBerry 2 thumbs up!!
2) I am BlackBerry by choice because a) keyboard shortcuts, b) a phone and tablet by the same manufacturer should work together, and c) BB10 will be one to rule them all!!
taz68 Aug 2, 2012 at 2:37 am
1) CrackBerry Thumbs Up t-shirt, two thumbs are better than one
2) BlackBerry has always been the best multi tasking and most secure platform to get it done!
iDonev Aug 2, 2012 at 2:43 am
1) I'd love to get the "thumbs up" version.
2) Why? Because I love technology, regardless of who is behind it. Everyone who develops something novel helps pave the way even more innovation.
tinysalmon Aug 2, 2012 at 2:50 am
1. I want the hardcore version of the shirt to show those apple and android users that we didn't give a @#$% about their gadgets, and that we still believe and love Blackberry.
2. I am Blackberry by Choice because Blackberry is my first ever smartphone. Been fallen in love with it from the first time, am loving it still, will love it even more when BB10 launches next year. (have been waiting for BB10 to launch since forever).
Cheers
MorbidPuppies Aug 2, 2012 at 2:46 am
1) Hardcore all the way, I've been waiting for it since the original mock-up was teased.
2) I'm Blackberry by Choice because its always been a reliable [choice] for me from day one, my first smartphone was a BlackBerry, and I've never had problems with any model I've used since. It may not have all the games that an iPhone or Android has, but it does manage all my emails, have a fast, reliable web browser that I use everyday, act as my MP3 player, camera, manage notes and reminders, while having access to all my social media. It doesn't have to be flashy or have millions of apps available, because it does everything I need it to do out of the box. Thats why I will support and be Blackberry by Choice until the day I die!
chucklebutte Aug 2, 2012 at 2:47 am
HARDCORE!
Myself: Torch 9810 + 16GB Playbook
1st daughter: 16GB Playbook
2nd daughter: 16Gb Playbook
Mom: Torch 9800
Sister: Curve 8900
Brother: Curve 8900
We are a family focused on tools not toys. We are HARDCORE BlackBerry users!
Ciurlo Aug 2, 2012 at 2:49 am
1.) The two thumbs up version
2.) I'm blackberry by choice because.....I really have big thumbs!!!
Blackberry in my DNA :D !!!
frankieandabear Aug 2, 2012 at 2:55 am
1. Thumbs Up, please. Because there are two thumbs up for Blackberry devices!
2. I'm Blackberry by choice because I love blackberry phones: SECURITY FIRST and that's the way it should be in a digital world!
meganauli Aug 2, 2012 at 2:55 am
1. I need the family version cos I have kids at home :)
2. I'm a Blacberry by Choice because I seriously can't live without BBM
•MeGa•ToRcH•
ReccaKun Aug 2, 2012 at 2:58 am
1.) I'll take the Family friendly version... Through think and thin I will always be a blackberry user, and will promote the ABC of blackberry. A - Addiction: keyboard hook line and sinker. its the best out there and you will be addicted to your blackberry and you will be pounding out messages after messages. B - Blackberry: you stay connected and there is no if and buts with staying in touch. It gives you ample of ways to stay connected with everyone either via BBM or facebook or MSN... our BB is up to the task with its push technology. C - Crackberry: its where you can get your latest and juiciest story about the world of Blackberry. The community of the crackberry nation are the most informed user and the best journalist that actually does a proper journalism.
I've been a blackberry user since 2006 - present... and I will only carry a blackberry. This is by CHOICE!
iMoose Aug 2, 2012 at 2:59 am
I'll take the hardcore shirt because I go back to the days of the 7510 and I've owned almost every other one since then, really! That's Hardcore!
aliencds Aug 2, 2012 at 3:05 am
1) I'd love a Hardcore version.
2) And I'm Blackberry by choice because nothing gives me such a greater satisfaction than mashing the buttons seamlessly on my Blackberry Bold keyboard as I conjure up a text or email. Since the Bold 9000 to the Bold 9900 the Keyboard is UNBEATABLE and that is not only why I am Blackberry by choice, BUT Blackberry FOR LIFE !
Sadsfan Aug 2, 2012 at 3:07 am
Thumbs please - I've got kids!
BlackBerry by choice as it is simply the best phone and tablet manufacturer in the world. Also hate the shIte-phone
Darren19 Aug 2, 2012 at 3:10 am
I want the hard core shirt!!
Because i love blackberry best smart phone around. I'm always trying to defend them even when it gets hard. But ill never back down. a shirt would be epic to show my support!!
1CrackBerriz Aug 2, 2012 at 3:27 am
1) Family friendly version please...for now ;)
2) I'm blackberry by choice because the whole system is awesome. I love the ultimate connectivity, always being able to keep in touch with family and friends, making family groups on bbm, sharing pictures, random chatting, being able to type fast, the always awesome physical keyboard, and I just can't imagine my life without my beloved BB.
ndon70 Aug 2, 2012 at 3:32 am
1-two thumbs up
2-blackberry does my body and mind good!
Villordsutch Aug 2, 2012 at 3:42 am
1) Family friendly please
2) I pfft at other phones when mentioned and use lines like "Oh you have an iPhone! I didn't know you were a hairdresser?"
amosque57 Aug 2, 2012 at 3:57 am
i think i would go with the family friendly version just so that i could walk around with it and be able to show that blackberry is what i choose and could care less what anyone else thinks about it
i choose blackberry simply because it is perfect at all it can do i love my 9930 so much the keyboard is beyond perfection and although blackberry isnt app friendly i could care less because i dont need games i have more important things to do
pbgonnarock Aug 2, 2012 at 4:04 am
I want two thumbs one :) .. I am blackberry by choice because of best in class email and thumb typing ...
jayinvt Aug 2, 2012 at 4:07 am
I would love to win a family friendly shirt. Why you may ask? Because I love free shit. Thank you for your cooperation.
Carry on!
Halifax Guy Aug 2, 2012 at 4:08 am
The Thumbs Up version is the one I want, thank you.
Blackberry is my choice, because they do it right!
atp8888 Aug 2, 2012 at 4:08 am
Thumbs-up! I will wear it here in the streets of Singapore - the iPhone crazy country!
ferre_kun Aug 2, 2012 at 4:36 am
1. I'd love to get the hardcore for free if possible please. Because I am a hardcore user, I bring it everywhere, even at shower/toilet.
2. I'm a blackberry by choice because I had to save my money to get one (there's no subsidised phone offer here). If iphone and android have the realtime push notification backed by exclusive data plan solely for their phones that is better than blackberry (in features,services&price) I wouldn't choose blackberry. I choose blackberry for the realtime push notification with affordable exclusive data plan on all carriers here. I even use different number than my regular mobile phone number for my blackberry, so I can use my blackberry only for the BIS, and won't be disturbed by any calls at all lol. I think that can be said hardcore blackberry user by choice. Lols.
RedPortiaOne Aug 2, 2012 at 4:12 am
Been following this thread for the past couple days and seem thumbs up wins by a landslide. Thumbs wins hardcore loses!!
__________________________
Playbook, the one and only
con4n007 Aug 2, 2012 at 4:18 am
Hardcore version please!
Blackberry by choice because I can't live without physical keyboard and you NEED blackberry to socialize in where I live :)
Superfly_FR Aug 2, 2012 at 4:39 am
I want the hardcore version when behind the drumset, cause I rock it hard !
I want the civilized version for everyday life, 'cause I cant finger my clients and friends !!!
Sum-up : I NEED both :D
illini2097 Aug 2, 2012 at 4:47 am
1) Hardcore, so I can walk around taunting all the iSheep.
2) BB by choice beacause I like to get things done easily and efficiently.
plokij10 Aug 2, 2012 at 5:16 am
I'd like the family friendly one and I'm with blackberry because of the ease of texting ie real keyboard and I find the reception is better than most other phones.
DeeNiceJones Aug 2, 2012 at 5:18 am
I would love to win the family friendly two thumbs up version of the shirt!!
I'm BlackBerry by choice because I really can't stand touchscreens. My fingers are too chubby to touch the screen. I love keyboards. My sister had me hooked on BB when I bought her the BB Pearl back in 2008 and then she bought me one later that year (my first BB). I have owned 9 BBs ever since. And I'm waiting to own my 10th BB next year when BB 10 comes out!!
nck20 Aug 2, 2012 at 5:21 am
1: I want the thumbs up version, cause the other one is a little too much to handel for my work environment.
2: cause from the first Blackberry phone on I'm addicted and I try to convince all my friends/co-workers to switch to Blackberry cause they make the best phones for business and to communicate with friends
apache1680 Aug 2, 2012 at 5:22 am
I want the HARDCORE to show off my 18in arms to show BlackBerry is here to stay.
My Blackberry is a full part of my everyday & work life and I won't sway from a perfect phone!!
poolrookie78 Aug 2, 2012 at 5:28 am
Thumbs up!
I am CrackBerry by Choice because I get things done and I leave my toys at home! BB is the only choice for business imho.
drewdownn Aug 2, 2012 at 5:32 am
1: I'll take a hardcore version please.
2: I'm blackberry by choice because of the keyboard. I wouldn't have it any other way.
JackSadler1996 Aug 2, 2012 at 5:57 am
Crackberry thumbs up please I LOVE MY CURVE its like my baby and I wanna walk round waring the t-shirt showing my blackberry pride!
CanAm89 Aug 2, 2012 at 6:00 am
1) I would like the family friendly version since kids live in my house and it's something I'd like to wear to school.
2) I'm BlackBerry by choice because BlackBerry does what I need in a phone. Reliability, battery life, and a GUI that works in the same way that I think. I don't need 45 games for my BlackBerry, I need timekeeping apps, a good messaging system, and a tether for my laptop and Playbook while working and on the road. BlackBerry does it for me. Professionalism, good design, and a total package in one device!
AceDeuce Aug 2, 2012 at 6:08 am
BlackBerry shirt to match my BlackBerry tattoo. I'm for sure a die hard user. Please pick me and I will send you a pic of my tattoo!
Filth.Injector Aug 2, 2012 at 6:33 am
1) I want the HARDCORE T !!! - Let people know that we arent all corporate and uptight and boring like how we are potrayed
2)I CHOOSE a BlackBErry because its reliable and way different than the usual iDevice and Crapdroid. I want there to be a drastic change in the smartfone market and BB emerge as a true competitor to beat the rest.
newcollector Aug 2, 2012 at 6:46 am
Two thumbs up to CrackBerry for listening to its members about another version of the shirt!
1. Thumbs up for me.
2. I choose BlackBerry because it does what I need...touchscreen and great keyboard, strong signal reception, easy customization, great communication device that is secure. It meets my needs, and then some. I am now an investor who anticipates a solid recovery.
Drew Oswalt Aug 2, 2012 at 6:47 am
1) hardcore version
2) i have converted many people to BB and I will never give on BBs.
5deep Aug 2, 2012 at 6:50 am
HARDCORE Version.
RIM still ROCKS!
thatplaybookguy Aug 2, 2012 at 7:07 am
I want the hardcore version caase i got one of my teeth reshaped into a curve 3g. thats hardcore.
I want the shirt because I see tons of apple fanboys and fangirls all over the place, I am Canadian so it only makes sense that being all the way east in st. john's that i should be rocking one of those shirts.
thatplaybookguy Aug 2, 2012 at 7:09 am
i will change my middle name to Crackberry!
sedalia066 Aug 2, 2012 at 7:23 am
Take 2 is a real winner. Thanks. Would love to wear one. :)
Cap_172R Aug 2, 2012 at 7:24 am
1. Hardcore version!
2. BlackBerry by choice because its secure and efficient for my daily usage. Love the keyboard on the 9000/9900 and has been my daily driver since, no other phone has a keyboard like mine and i absolutely love it! 9900 coupled with my PB is simply unreal
Shekeese Aug 2, 2012 at 7:29 am
1 - I definitely want to win a Blackberry By Choice T-Shirt, PG version please! In a large!!
2 - I'm Blackberry By Choice because of the best email service in the business, the best keyboard in the business, and the speed at which I can go from email to twitter msg to internet to Facebook to BBM, all while on the phone, copying and pasting as I go...and sometimes all with one hand. I'm a hardcore multitasker, BB is the best choice for me.
PiotrJot Aug 2, 2012 at 7:35 am
1) "CrackBerry Thumbs" for me please :-) (yeah- I don't want to teach my son the other signs too early;) )
2) BB by choice, as I want to 'be bold' :D and get things done without any hassle.
Draconianfire83 Aug 2, 2012 at 7:43 am
I want the hardcore version! When I need to get $h!t done, there is only 1 tool I need, my BlackBerry follows me everwhere and is always reliable. Keep your iPhones and Androids, i need a phone that lets me "Do".
This is how I do... BlackBerry by Choice!
gluth Aug 2, 2012 at 7:47 am
Family Friendly
The best mail and web experience available in one device.
toddshillington Aug 2, 2012 at 7:56 am
1) Family Friendly Thumbs Up!
2) I am on my 17th blackberry model, I buy almost every model released by rogers and I have owned every OS 7 device ... doing my part to help RIM :)
Prince_Poppycock Aug 2, 2012 at 8:01 am
1) The thumbs up shirt!
2) My first smartphone was a BlackBerry, I loved that phone! If my carrier (Virgin Mobile USA) had a newer BlackBerry I would have one now!
4abetterworld Aug 2, 2012 at 8:02 am
1) Thumbs version
2) BB by choice because I respect the brand and RIM's support of many great causes. I look forward to seeing what they can do with BB10.
c2grainger Aug 2, 2012 at 8:04 am
Thumbs for me, in BLACK. I want !
Only Blackberrys in my family, responsable for around 20 units, all over the world. With 20 shirts we could show the world BB is alive. We know who is the best. We will buy BB's forever ! No toys for us.
duhking Aug 2, 2012 at 8:04 am
I would like to have BlackBerry By Choice T-Shirt
Large
Thank you
squintyboy Aug 2, 2012 at 8:06 am
thumbs up blackberry all the way
fotyc Aug 2, 2012 at 8:17 am
1) two thumbs version - I want to wear it at work!
2) Quality hardware, which is not a struggle to use and which does not require plug-in to battery charger every 4 hours. I want to be able to communicate on my handheld device, not watch movies or have a voice tell me where I can buy coffee.
ngc Aug 2, 2012 at 8:35 am
Hardcore, always hardocre...
BlackBerry by choise because I need a smartphone that keeps me comunicated with the world and nobody does it as BlackBerry do...
does321 Aug 2, 2012 at 8:25 am
go ahead and send one to me ...
sharma0702 Aug 2, 2012 at 8:40 am
The hardcore version, it says it all without me wasting my breath.
BlackBerry by choice because it is efficient at what it does, and then some!
SkaterGuy2k Aug 2, 2012 at 8:43 am
Would Love the hardcore version, Because Blackberry is HARDCORE :)
I'm a Blackberry owner by choice because I need a phone to be reliable, and do what a phone needs to do when I need to do it. Having a productive life means owning and productive device and Blackberry is the devices for getting SH!T DONE!!!!
ISF Aug 2, 2012 at 8:47 am
I want the family friendly version please
I am blackberry by choice because I have been with blackberry from the beginning and continue to stick with them The bold 9900 is awesome, cant wait for bb10
Xin9900 Aug 2, 2012 at 8:56 am
1) thumbs because im verry friendly
2) I'm BlackBerry by Choice because verry many of my friends got an Blackberry and the Blackberry is the ultimate communications platform
Arsenic210 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:00 am
1. Thumbs up (I have kids you know!)
2. My WIFE switched over to an iPhone and I can't divorce her
doxidad Aug 2, 2012 at 9:03 am
Would love the family friendly version
I just like BlackBerries......
bryanve Aug 2, 2012 at 9:07 am
1) I want the Hardcore Version because its time for BlackBerry fans to take a stance. We shouldn't take shit from anyone about the smart decision we have made.
2) I am BlackBerry By Choice because its simply the best. Keyboards and long battery life brought me to this platform years ago from Sony Ericsson. I haven't moved since and I never will. Include the fact they are the most secure mobile platform and Canadian and its a no-brainer! GO RIM GO. BlackBerry forever!
knowledge_6 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:09 am
1) Family friend version of the Tshirt
2) I am BB by Choice because I have tried other devices and they just don't let me do the things i want to do fast enough. Yah the S3 is a GREAT phone and i can play games on it, but it just doesn't have that ability to allow me to communicate as effectively as i do on my 9900.. When an email comes into my personal account (setup on both my S3 and 9900) i pick up my 9900 instead to reply.
BlueRocks Aug 2, 2012 at 9:09 am
1) I want the thumbs Version... because I am a father of six.
2) I am BlackBerry By Choice because it keeps six kids enthralled, entertained, educated and QUIET on nine hour trips in the car from Ottawa to Windsor.
Youllneverguessit Aug 2, 2012 at 9:10 am
1) Family friendly pls!
2) BlackBerry 4 Life!
NamelessStar Aug 2, 2012 at 9:35 am
1) I want the BlackBerrry by choice "thumbs up" lol work friendly version.... I get told I promote BlackBerry way to much at work
2) BlackBerry Is everything and RIM is the greatest company my home town HERO of Kitchener Waterloo Support for them for LIFE
dzorbas Aug 2, 2012 at 9:15 am
I'll take a thumbs up tshirt.
I'm BB by choice because I like to get stuff done. There are plenty of other devices for the sheep out there...
navikun Aug 2, 2012 at 9:16 am
1) I would like the thumbs up one.
2) I love the keyboard on my BB phone ;) and the fact that I can tether BB to my playbook is magnificent. Especially since I cant get normal internet at my house ;)
captain_tinker Aug 2, 2012 at 9:16 am
I would prefer the safe for work version, because I want to rub it in everyones faces at work! I seem to be the lone stranger, on a crusade to keep Blackberry from disappearing there. They keep telling me they will let me power down the BES server when they decom it, and bronze it and put it on my desk. I tell them, don't be too hasty, there is a lot of stuff going on that they aren't seeing. That and my co-worker just plain can't get his iPhone to work for anything, it's just sad.
Anyway, I am absolutely BB by Choice, I've looked at all the alternatives, and frankly the BB fit my needs and desires better than anything else out there. I was BB before iphone, before android, and I stuck with it because I still like it better. I'm excited to see the new BB10 when it comes out, and I'm hoping it will still work the way I like it, just with even more expanded functionality, but more important be easy to use still. Also, I'm hoping to start seeing more mainstream apps available for it, and the ability to use the Android Market directly, instead of having to find apk's and convert them in a hit or miss process. That whole thing just has to go away, or it is going to be a real thorn in RIM's side. Oh, and BBM is awesome! My wife and I use it all the time and we don't have to pay for texting! Long Live the Blackberry!
steph.iosso Aug 2, 2012 at 9:16 am
1) Thumbs up version (I gotta wear it to uni and work! Represent!)
2) I am Blackberry By Choice, because when an iPhone fails the first thing I say, "Shoulda got a Blackberry!" Blackberry 10 FTW. #TeamBlackberry
Connor83 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:18 am
Crackberry Thumbs
otaku2 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:19 am
1. Thumbs up to Blackberry...
2. ...because they have keyboards!
NinjaRAT Aug 2, 2012 at 9:22 am
1. Harcore here...just because.
2. I require the physical keyboard, and no one does it better. period.
danp2000 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:23 am
I won't wear a shirt that has mlm on it so the two thumbs up would be best for me.
twirlyboy Aug 2, 2012 at 9:24 am
Hardcore version s'il vous plaît!
Because I'm an independent thinker...not a member of the herd.
BlackBerry rules!
biohazard79 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:29 am
1. I want the thumbs up version
2. In 2006 I had my first blackberry, since then I never changed, allthough my family is mostly android and Iphone minded... Staying Stuborn and happy with my BB I even allready convinced other family members allready to try it... result: they got off their devices and now we are one small BB-community.... I'm also working at a telecommunications company in Belgium, a lot of them having Iphones or android devices... and I just want to show them that I don't care that they have those devices, because I'm addicted to my BB
louboutins Aug 2, 2012 at 9:38 am
1) Softcore version
2) I've been with RIM since I had my hands on the 8330 Curve. The physical keypad is one of the dozens of reasons of what's making me stay!
I'd also like to troll my BB deserters.
jaffa21 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:39 am
1. I want the thumbs up version of the shirt
2. BlackBerry users cares about getting stuff done first, then play time second. My rest of my family has the iPhone and I can find things faster on the BlackBerry than they can on their iPhones. BlackBerry till death, bring on the BB10!
tekneakz Aug 2, 2012 at 9:42 am
1) I'd love the hardcore version
2) I'm BlackBerry by Choice because I need a tool that gets sh!t done. Not a toy. There is far too much happening in my day to be playing around.
editor0400 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:43 am
Crackberry Thumbs please!!
Love the detail on the thumbs - looks like a graphic for Scott Pilgrim or something - nice and pixelated!
I have a 64GB Playbook with the Keyboard Case and it keeps me going non stop!
I need this shirt!
dragid10 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:43 am
1) Family friendly version
2) I'm blackberry by choice because blackberry is the phone that just does. There are many features on blackberry that i wish were on android. I even steered both of my parents into getting blackberries (Dad:9900, Mom:9360). I was actually very proud to have a blackberry in school, no matter what anyone said. Even though i switched to android, i will always be a blackberry fanboy. I check crackberry daily for news and info on BB10 and other things (which i will surely get when it comes out). Blackberries are amazing phones and i would like to let everyone around me know this. (Also there should be an android app for crackberry)
rthonpm Aug 2, 2012 at 9:59 am
It has to be the thumbs up version: RIM is losing marketshare and customers to other competitors, but with BB10 on the horizon everything will be alright. My thumbs may be calloused from all of my typing over time, but its those same thumbs that show my support for RIM!
BlackBerry by choice because I've come to value the ease of communicating that BlackBerry offers: contacts are instantly available to me, whether by phone, BBM, SMS, email, however I need to reach them in an integrated fashion as opposed to the other platforms which have a much more segregated idea of contacts.
ken2ts Aug 2, 2012 at 10:03 am
1) Prefer the PG-13 shirt :-)
2) Because this is like high school - I don't really care about what is cool, or what is popular. I care about what works.
thatMikeguy Aug 2, 2012 at 10:04 am
Hardcore T-shirt please. Live amongst too many haters that just don't get it. Blackberry has so many great features i.e. keyboard, FLAC, encryption on device to name a few. They truly don't understand why I love my BlackBerry. XL please.
Daemon-D Aug 2, 2012 at 10:09 am
1. Two thumbs up for me.
2. I'm Blackberry by choice because their data compression is unmatched. I prefer to keep my data usage smaller as compared to the other brands.
Mr.Softberry Aug 2, 2012 at 10:11 am
That shirt is pretty much saying "I'm a fucking nerd looser."
ggap10 Aug 2, 2012 at 10:17 am
1) I want the Family Two thumbs Version...
2) I recently upgraded from old Curve 8900 that I used to almost 3 years to Bold 9900. I fell in love with BB again and I just don't want to leave it. I would die if I BB does not survives and that's my choice. All said and done, really everyone who uses blackberry would point out hundreds of reasons as to why they use a blackberry everyday and would not use any Toy device. And I stand by all those reasons. Its is really difficult to highlight a few here. Basically its fast and easy to use for communication and the most reliable device. I have used Samsung galaxy S and its good as long as the battery lasts and as long as you do not have to send a msg or email to anyone but that's when it becomes the most s#@*% piece of hardware.
Blackberry by choice!!
keyhole Aug 2, 2012 at 10:28 am
HARDCORE to wander into an APPLE STORE! F'apple!!!!
wikison Aug 2, 2012 at 10:29 am
1) Prefer the two thumbs up version
2) BBM, keyboard (typing and shortcuts), sleep function on a holster, device security, BES, LED
cvirata Aug 2, 2012 at 10:36 am
1) Thumbs Up version
2) I'm Blackberry by Choice because I want a solid device that won't break when I inevitably drop it, keyboard is amazing, BBM is fluid, and productivity, efficiency and security are my top priorities - matching BB's focus.
Stay loyal to the RIMpire - they're coming back!
Kemotaha Aug 2, 2012 at 10:36 am
1) family friendly for me.
2) I get things done and am able to stay on top of work when I am not in the office.

1) Thumbs Up (XL please)
2) I'm BlackBerry by choice because that's a no-brainer; BB is STILL the best smartphone out there, hands down!
nickdaman Aug 2, 2012 at 10:46 am
1. Hardcore Version please!
2. Owned 2 Blackberries which we're the 9000 and 9900. I'm in for the long haul over here despite what the market and fads may be I need to get it DONE!
martinjdub Aug 2, 2012 at 10:53 am
1. Family friendly version please :)
I would wear the two thumbs up at work and around my familty, keeping classy, Canadian and Being Bold all day long.

What has two thumbs and wants a family-friendly CrackBerry Thumbs Up t-shirt (size medium)? This guy!
I'm BB by choice because the phone just works for me. People disagree often, but my BBs have always been a smart way to do things, even in the highly criticized UI/OS. I'm the type of person who learns how to take full advantage of his technology, that's why the 9530 was a great phone for me as it helped me outperform and out-task my friends an colleages using other devices. Same with my 9850. It works, it works well - which is what I need so I can work and work well.
Real life example: As a director on a board my 9530 helped me get some major important things done on a night when I decided to leave my laptop at the office. I received an email challenging some requests I made based on certain data. Since I duplicate all my important spreadsheets and other information on my phone's memory card regularly, I was able to use my Storm's multi-tasking to write a very long email while continuing to refer to multiple spreadsheets and Word documents. I was able to attach multiple files to my response email which supported my response. I could go on and on, but the important thing takeaway from that experience is that my BB helped me get it done that night and it did it in a way that no other mobile platform could have done for me.
At the end of that email was my signature that stated, "sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Storm." Some of the other directors asked me about my email the next day and were impressed that I was able to respond so quickly and effectively in a long email with multiple attachments from my phone. This was about two years ago. At least two other directors now have personal BBs, and I attribute it to that situation.
Certainly there are many other situations I could talk about, but that one usually sticks out.
Cheers.

I'd love the hardcore version. Size L if unisex please. I adore Blackberry because it satisfies all my daily needs and isn't just a toy like many smartphones. My partner has a 'droid and I am constantly pumped at how my 9780 capabilities outweigh hers. My 3G phone isn't as lightening fast, but that is a small trade-off.
fill8888 Aug 2, 2012 at 11:21 am
1. Hardcore version all the way!
2. Every once in a while when I am tired of explaining to people how good the Blackberry is and how easy it is to work with and how you get things done quickly with it and... you get the point :)..., I can just point to the T-shirt and say nothing !
f1mx Aug 2, 2012 at 11:22 am
I want the THUMBS UP shirt because the hardcore one would get a lot of hate if I bring it to work.
I have been a loyal BB user since 2007, starting with a 8100, then quickly got and traded a 8900 for a 9550. My next phone will be the BB10 full touchscreen super-phone. Although I don;t have a full library of apps, I don't care. BB already does what I need and want: keep me communicated.
36dbldz Aug 2, 2012 at 11:31 am
1: thumbs up not to make more people hate bb
2: because I paid for it and am waiting for it to be as good as it should have been years back
thehairlesscat Aug 2, 2012 at 11:56 am
1. I want the "Thumbs up version!
2. I choose Blackberry because I'm not looking for cute games to waste my time, I want something that works for me. Keyboard required.
wendybeee Aug 2, 2012 at 11:57 am
1. I would go crazy for a two thumbs up version !!
2. I'm a Blackberry Fangirl....I promote it....I'm a tester for bb themes....i'm an active CB member....and I'm with bb until they kick me off the bus !!!
HrvPav Aug 2, 2012 at 12:03 pm
1) Would love the 2 thumbs up ...
2) BB by choice because I have always been given the choice ... and just kept choosing and choosing and choosing ... bb all the way !
Enderxeno Aug 2, 2012 at 12:28 pm
I want the hardcore one. Because i get so much sh*t at work from isheep for explaining why Blackberry's will always be better and more efficient, I need a way to strike back, and a shield.
Zeds Aug 2, 2012 at 12:30 pm
1) Love it.. WANT it.... Think the more recent is the one for me :)
2) Blackberry rocks cause: the original innovator, knows what it takes for busniess applications, has always been doing things their own way... leading the way..... CANADIAN ! and PROUD !:)
philbhoy1967 Aug 2, 2012 at 12:31 pm
Just purchased my first ever Blackberry as marketed in the UK - Curve 9320.
I know Blackberry is better and I seek a better life and connections.
I am now connected - I feel better - my life is efficient.
Blackberry is now part of me.
" Any version of tshirt or hoodie ! Size Small please.
Happy to be part of the Crackberry community and thank you for welcoming me into the fold.

miyacom Aug 2, 2012 at 12:34 pm
A. Family Friendly because I'm a granny and I have to be a good role model for the young ens.
B. Because I choose to have a phone that works and not plays, and Blackberry is the choice, hands down!
SoUnCool Aug 2, 2012 at 12:49 pm
I am BB fan becuase i am BES admin, and BB job pays bills

Yell0w Aug 2, 2012 at 1:43 pm
1. I want the Thumbs up Shirt
2. Because I need the BlackBerry Keyboard to pound out emails/messages like a machine and because it's the best Smartphone
mikeplus1 Aug 2, 2012 at 1:46 pm
I want the BlackBerry By Choice - Thumbs UP Version because...
BlackBerry is WINNING!! DUH!!
lizasun Aug 2, 2012 at 1:57 pm
I would love the two thumbs up shirt in size L.
I love Blackberry because I need a *real* smartphone! I don't need games. I don't need fart apps.
I need a phone that works, a keyboard that allows me to type quickly, the ability to customize to meet my needs, an operating system that is smooth and not clunky, and something that works every time (I don't want to have to run to the Genius Bar every month).
I've just never enjoyed the Apple Kool-aid (it tastes like fruity pretension in case you're wondering). I'll stick with Blackberry.
Vertego Aug 2, 2012 at 2:11 pm
Why do I want one?
Why do I have a Blackberry?
Just because!
Wyatt_24 Aug 2, 2012 at 2:18 pm
Hardcore version for me!! Just to show off to all the people who keep talking down to me for sticking with Blackberry lol
Im Blackberry by choice because i love everything about it, yeah iphone may have some cool games, but if you want a productive phone for business or just ease with communication in general Blackberry is the only way to go. Love my Torch 9810 and my PlayBook!!! And would love to rock this shirt to show my support for RIM and Blackberry in general!
big bb Aug 2, 2012 at 2:25 pm
1) I would pick thumbs in honor of BlackBerry.
2) I choose BlackBerry because no other devices gets things done like Blackberry, and even though a lot say it is hard to use, I have tried, and programmed for all and Blackberry is the easiest to use. Also you get a lot of control of your device unlike iphone without the security weakness like android
ggljohnson Aug 2, 2012 at 2:29 pm
I love the thumbs up and the reason I want one it to show Iphone and android users that I did not drink the cell phone koolaid and have a phone that is more than a fancy toy.
stitch69 Aug 2, 2012 at 2:32 pm
i'd like a size small hardcore version because all my friends/coworkers/family say i'm a HARDCORE blackberry user...and individual xD
ty.
darylalbert Aug 2, 2012 at 2:37 pm
2 Thumbs up all the way!
BlackBerry by Choice because there is no other.
dannry23 Aug 2, 2012 at 3:03 pm
1) I want the hardcore version because lately, people have been getting on my nerves when they ask me, "Why do you have a Blackberry? Those things are old and slow and buggy, (Coming from an android user whose phone might be dual core yet does more battery pulls then I've had to do."
2) I would love to show my dedication to the Brand of phones I have been using for almost 5 years. Blackberry's get the job done, who can ask for more.
presemu Aug 2, 2012 at 3:05 pm
1) I want the Thumbs version because I give a thumbs up to RIM for coming up with the best smartphones in the world.
2) I am a BlackBerry by choice because I very much treasure communication and security. I used to be a fan of Sony Ericsson but still wasn't satisfied with communication and security until I had a taste of the BlackBerry using the Curve 8310. Since then I chose BlackBerry as my number one smartphone because it never lets me down.

Cameron MacDonald Aug 2, 2012 at 3:22 pm
1. Thumbs up for me.
2. Why BlackBerry? I prefer to think for myself rather than the marketing department of the fruit company, and I like my PlayBook size, OS, just about everything about it.
dakid72 Aug 2, 2012 at 3:25 pm
Thumbs up is the way to go, to each his own and we CrackBerrians choose the BlackBerry!
BlackBerry does what every other phone does...........and then some!
Thanks in advance CrackBerry, ShopCrackBerry.com and Mayor, Governor elect of the RIMpire nation Kevin Michaluk!
WSavageHumphrey Aug 2, 2012 at 3:28 pm
1) Thumbs Up
2) BlackBerry by choice because they are dabomb.com
l ll llll l l ll Aug 2, 2012 at 3:40 pm
I like the hardcore version (XL).
I'm blackberry by choice because there is no substitute for the amazing typing experience of the bold keyboard!
ALXRoyale Aug 2, 2012 at 3:52 pm
Would love to win!
Thunderbuck Aug 2, 2012 at 3:58 pm
1) I'll go "hardcore", if you please :-)
2) I have many reasons for choosing Blackberry. It's a solid communication platform with great hardware, it's more secure than my bank, and it's the heir to Canada's great history in communications technology.
XilinxUnder Aug 2, 2012 at 3:59 pm
1. Hardcore dude
2. I want to show all those Apple non-geniuses (does that make them dummies?) how I really feel.
yauchunh Aug 2, 2012 at 4:01 pm
i want the hardcore version
I still think BB make the best phones. The night is darkest just before dawn, and the dawn is coming! Let's not give into these terrorists demands (Android and Apple)!!
size s please.
kruegs Aug 2, 2012 at 4:13 pm
1) Thumbs up baby
2) Because nothing can compete with the original... it only gets better with time, like a fine wine baby!
Axall Aug 2, 2012 at 4:25 pm
Would love the family friendly one. I love and have always loved blackberry for there Keyboards, typing with ease, instant communication with BBM and of course the message LED light. Why would you have anything else.
the_kid_hartford Aug 2, 2012 at 4:25 pm
1. because my blackberry bold is the shizit
2. I'm Ricky Bobby, people used to call me Big Red but I told them STOP IT cause theres only one Big Red, America's number one cinnamon gum, What? What you'd say.....thats what I thought....
size XL baby....
Steven Friedmann Aug 2, 2012 at 4:30 pm
Pick me please! Thumbs up cooler than the finger version.
RescueCop Aug 2, 2012 at 4:51 pm
1. I need the "family friendly" version (in 2XL, if possible), so that I can wear it to work -- and everywhere else!
2. I'm BlackBerry by choice because I need a smartphone that's first and foremost a dependable communications and work tool, not an entertainment device. There are quite literally times when folks' health and safety (and mine!) depend upon my ability to communicate reliably, and BlackBerry delivers. What's really great is that my Torch 9810 is also a pretty good entertainment tool! Who says that you have to give up durability, long battery life, and great radio performance to run run cool apps? Not BlackBerry!
Bold9930trooper Aug 2, 2012 at 5:15 pm
I would like the pg version. I would wear it at the office to show the other non Berry users.
tomo333 Aug 2, 2012 at 5:29 pm
I want the thumbs-up version in XL - because that's the kinda guy I am!
I am a Blackberry by Choice guy because I love using BBM. It's great for pictures or just casual conversation.
RIM rocks!
Jorgenfruz Aug 2, 2012 at 7:12 pm
While I would normally go with the finger, I feel obligated to go family friendly to help foster a positive image for BB (I will be wearing it proudly as often as possible.)
As for the why:
I'm a relatively recent addition to the BB fan family, coming on board during these last couple of painful years for RIM. I came over because of all of the positive that is the BB experience and because of the potential I saw in the company, especially the playbook. My opinion remains unchanged, despite all of the misleading negative media, and want to wear the shirt to prove it. Maybe someone will ask me why when they see me wearing the shirt and I'll be able to learn them on the awesomeness that is BB.
ricardomartos Aug 2, 2012 at 7:17 pm
1. I must have the hardcore! I'm the only one with blackberry of my friends and I'm always screaming ''BLACKBERRY RULES!!!!''
2.Blackberry user can say...''Hey Dude I can manage my business from my phone''
Other user say...''I can just throw birds...''
BLACKBERRY IS THE BEST!
Andrew4life Aug 2, 2012 at 7:32 pm
1) I definitely want the hardcore version. It kinda nice for "Blackberry" to be "In your face!" for once.
2) I'm Blackberry By Choice because I like their phone designs and also because it's a Canadian company. Represent!
labyrinth9 Aug 2, 2012 at 7:37 pm
1. Family friendly version please! XXL
2. I am not Blackberry choice, though; there is no choice. Nothing else out there can come close to the ease of use, efficiency, and interconnectedness of a Blackberry. I have 5 email accounts, as well as 5 gmail calendars (configured to be color-coded on my 9930) and I can manipulate them all in real time by way of a unified calendar and inbox. I'm Blackberry because it is the only thing out there that works the way I need it to!
madcorgi Aug 2, 2012 at 7:46 pm
1. Hardcore version please.
2. Because developing for BlackBerry is much more enjoyable than developing for Apple. Because I want a phone and tablet to be productive at work. Because I want my data on my phone and tablet to be secure. Because I like my BlackBerries -- a lot.
tfrankson Aug 2, 2012 at 7:51 pm
I would love to win the thumbs up ver and I am BlackBerry by choice simple because BlackBerry Rocks!!
dartmouthland Aug 2, 2012 at 8:04 pm
1. Hardcore because that's how I roll.
2. Blackberry By Choice because I need to get shit done. End of story!
Hotdogtree Aug 2, 2012 at 8:20 pm
Hardcore one FTW!
Why am I BlackBerry by Choice? Because with BBM I can see if my messages have been delivered/read, with BlackBerry Protect I can remotely find, lock and wipe my device if it is ever lost or stolen. With BlackBerry Bridge I can connect and remotely control my PlayBook, as well as read all of my emails/BBMs and the rest on the PlayBook. With my BlackBerry I can play BrickBreaker - the BEST game ever made. With my SD card I can add music/put photos on my PC on the fly without loading up a program. With Email anything I send will have "Sent from a BlackBerry Smartphone" at the bottom, and this will let people know that I get stuff done. With Social Feeds I can post to all of my social networks all at once. Most of all, with my BlackBerry at my side (or, glued to my hand) I know I will always be connected, I know all of my data is secure, and I know I look awesome.
bandit3502 Aug 2, 2012 at 8:38 pm
1) The Two Thumbs Up- Size XXL
2) I love my BB for business. I know RIM being so Hardcore on security kinda put them behind the eightball a little. So what. I want a company looking out for me and my companies best interest. I thank RIM everyday for the security on my phones and playbooks. There are a lot of things I can say about it. Good looking phones, Bridging everything from Internet to pictures to watching movies on my TV to business meetings on a big screen but Security is #1. Two Thumbs Up :)
kevin_634 Aug 2, 2012 at 9:05 pm
Medium Hardcore version please!
Communication is the only thing I need/use my phone for, and Blackberry is clearly above all else in this department. I cannot do touch screen typing at all, but I can hammer out texts and emails in a split second on my 9900 keyboard. It was my first cell phone four years ago, and is still my current phone (upgraded over the years, of course) with no plans of changing.
My family is also Blackberry by choice, with my brother working at the Waterloo campus for a number of years.
jaspergrizzly Aug 2, 2012 at 10:11 pm
1.) I would love a BlackBerry Thumbs up t-shirt because it gets the message across in style without offending anyone (larger target market).
2.). I love BlackBerry for the same reason that I've loved it for the last 10 years; no other device provides the same level of enterprise integration as the BlackBerry does, and still versatile and fun. And let's face it, gotta love the 2 thumb typing on the great variety of BlackBerry keyboards. Common BlackBerry 10, show them what you're made of.
IGeeve Aug 2, 2012 at 10:53 pm
1) Hardcore version pls in a lrg
2) I just posted this comment using my "2 THUMBS" nuff said.
KyonCoraeL Aug 2, 2012 at 11:04 pm
1) I want the Softcore Version... hmmm, that makes me sound hardcore.
2) I am BlackBerry By Choice because my first smartphone was a blackberry and with my blackberry I organized a 30 person blackberry group for studying/partying and balanced a conversation with 5 different people through text messaging while in class. Without it, I would have died from boredom.
dogth99 Aug 2, 2012 at 11:41 pm
1. Thumb up.
2. I'm Blackberry by choice because Blackberry was true smartphone for my job.
brightberry Aug 3, 2012 at 12:28 am
1. Would love to win the thumbs-up version! Adult medium.
2. I am "BlackBerry by Choice" because I believe RIM has and retains a "better revelation" of what a smart phone should offer! I'm in and staying in!
moochy989 Aug 3, 2012 at 2:59 am
I would love the thumbs up (y) (y) please!
I have tried so many other phones and I keep finding myself running back to my BlackBerry. I absolutely love it, hands down. I live in the US and went to the extent of selling my AT&T Bold 9900 on ebay and purchasing an unlocked Rogers one just so I could get it in white. I had a white Torch previous to that, Bold 9650 before that, custom-housed Curve 8330 to begin with. BB4Life!
punar Aug 3, 2012 at 3:03 am
Hardcore" Shirt because i have been a hardcore user from the beginning. Staying true to black.
TheYalier Aug 3, 2012 at 5:55 am
Looks ugly. I think that in both versions (thumbs-up and ultimate-Kevin-trying-to-be-badass) the hand is un-nescessary.
harry112 Aug 3, 2012 at 7:34 am
CrackBerry Thumbs Up t-shirt please
love my playbook
srmurray1 Aug 3, 2012 at 8:33 am
Thumbs up shirt although I love them both. My 9930 does everything I want it to do
srmurray1 Aug 3, 2012 at 8:35 am
Thumbs up! Love my 9930!!
maxriptin Aug 3, 2012 at 9:11 am
I would love "hardcore" but would have to go with "thumbs up" so I can sport it everywhere.
BB handles the (thousands of) messages I deal with easily. I have yet to find a platform that can do productivity as well and as efficiently as BB. And if I have spare time, I haven't had any issues finding ways to burn the time with my phone (aka productivity device) and PlayBook.
tclouder Aug 3, 2012 at 9:39 am
1). I'd like the "family friendly" thumbs up version.
2). Why? I use my phone as a business tool, not a toy!
vazgon Aug 3, 2012 at 10:10 am
1. I NEED Blackberry thumbs-up ,because I will wear it with PRIDE!!!!!
2. Blackberry is here to "STAY". And that's just how it IS
tooney144 Aug 3, 2012 at 11:18 am
BB By Choice for me in a Medium...
vodomustng2000 Aug 3, 2012 at 11:39 am
1. More controversial hardcore version of course!
2. Working in the IT field, everyone and their mother are using either Droid or Apple. I still remain a solid stand ready BB user regardless of all their persuasion to switch over, I'll be rocking my 9900 and PB till the company goes belly up. (Hopefully never) ;-)
Long Live Rimpire!
govingto Aug 3, 2012 at 12:07 pm
1) Two Thumbs Up
2) No other phone feels as good in my hand as a Bold 9900.
PHDColumbus Aug 3, 2012 at 12:46 pm
1. Has to be Hardcore
2. Blackberry by choice because it works for me. I need a tool, not a toy. First thing I would do with my XL Hardcore shirt is take a picture and send it to all my former co-workers who taunted me for months about my "Blackbarely" while they played on their Androids. They never convinced me to switch and now that Im in a different business (major upgrade) I cant imagine doing my job without my Bold 9930.
I need this!!!!!!!!!
Xader Aug 3, 2012 at 4:40 pm
1. I'm all about the hardcore version
2. I'm BlackBerry By Choice because dammit, it just works for me!
Jim in WashDC Aug 3, 2012 at 4:44 pm
1) Thumbs up version
2) My Blackberry is my professional tool of choice.
DIPPYNA2 Aug 3, 2012 at 4:44 pm
1. I want to win the friendly 2 thumbs up t-shirt please
2. Well I thought I could leave Blackberry for an Android when I switch carrier 4 months ago, WRONG! I can not live without my Blackberry so I added a line now I have my stinking cool Blackberry Bold 9930!
Good luck to everyone... I would like to get Medium size please :)
