The Giveaways just won't stop at CrackBerry.com this month! First we launched the 12 Days of CrackBerry giveaway (post now if you haven't for your chance to win one of 72 awesome prizes, including a new BlackBerry), then we released our Free CrackBerry.com Holiday theme, and next we gave away 10 Free Copies of the cool "Find My Berry" Software App (winners now announced!), and then we gave away 10 Free "The CrackBerry" massages and NOW we're giving away 5 copies of Electric Pocket's awesome new FlipSide Music Player for the BlackBerry .
The FlipSide Music Player has been a big hit around CrackBerry.com, ever since we announced the release of its Beta. We were the first to post about it (accidentally let the word slip), but it quickly transpired into 5,000 downloads in a single weekend. And with the final version now available for sale ($19.95), it's quickly becoming a top-selling must-have BlackBerry Application.
If you're not familiar with FlipSide, it's a very graphical and user-friendly media player for the BlackBerry (compatible with Pearls, 8800s and Curves). One of the most popular features is the ability to "swoosh" through the full-color cover art of an entire music collection within seconds using your Berry's trackball. FlipSide downloads and displays each album's cover art and even links to FlipSide Extras to provide biographies of the artists, recommendations for similar artists and more. Flipside plays music in MP3, WMA, M4A and AAC formats, and also allows users to create their own playlist. You can learn more about FlipSide and download a trial copy by visiting FlipSide.fm.

there is a little over 1 gig of music on my blackberry
I love all AC/DC probably Thunderstruck
I really really really want flipSide plz plz plz
almost all the time
I currently have about 1 GB worth of music on my 2GB SD card. My favorite artist is the Beatles and song Yesterday. I would love to have Flipside, that album swooshing puts the iPod in its place. I am a regular music listener, at least 3 times a week.
How great would this season be if i could pack my curve with both accessories AND software!!!! Right now i have about 3GBs of music on my curve (who needs an ipod!!!) this will all increase once i am able to get a 6 or an 8GB card.
My favorite song and artist of all time would have to be the temptations...that's right THE TEMPTATIONS!!!! Just my imagination has to be the greatest song on the planet!!! lol.
How badly do i want to win flipside? well i would love to have ONE MORE REASON to mock my friend's Iphone because that is one aspect of his iphone that he CONSTANTLY throws in my face. I also want anything on my curve that gives it EVEN MORE sex appeal than it already has now!!!!!
As for how often do i listen to my curve for music? Every day of the week!!!! (That was kind of the reason why i got the 2600mah extended battery for my phone :-))
I'm a new addict and alreday am considering dumping the ipod. Why have it around? I have 2 gigs of music (same as my nano) and I can answer phone calls! All I need now is an armstrap for jogging.
Happy Holidays.
a) how many gigs of music are on your BlackBerry
Right now, I've got just over 1 gig on my pearl,, but will be putting more on tonight!
b) who your favorite artist/song of all time is
Favorite artist? Chevelle, hands down.
Favorite Song? Hmm....I'm not sure I have just one.
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide
BADLY. I'd love the opportunity to shove this cool media player in my sister's face. I'm tired of listening to her say how great her music phone from Verizon is. Ugh.
d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry
All the time!! On the way to campus and on the way home. ON the way to work and on the way home...
a) how many gigs of music are on your BlackBerry
b) who your favorite artist/song of all time is
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide
d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry
a) I use an SD Card. 297mb of music.
b) Favorite song of all time... Hmmmm... Hells Bells, AC/DC
c) really badly. im a student and i cant afford any software. I am working to make money to go to college, and flipside would make my life so much more enjoyable!
d) I listen to music everyday. I used an iPod but i sold it and now use the blackberry only.
a) how many gigs of music are on your BlackBerry
Only one song because I do not like the player Blackberry has to offer
b) who your favorite artist/song of all time is
I have no idea....i like any song as long as it sounds good
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide
I want to ligten the load in my pocket so I can start using my Blackberry as a music player.... I even bought the headphone attachment and 4gb microSD card for my 8830
d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry
Never but I want to start
I have about a gig of music on my 8830. I listen daily and when I had the beta of Flipside it made life so much better. For now I have to settle for the media player that comes with the BB. It works but it isn't anything like Flipside.
I played with it during the beta and liked it!
I've got about 1.25 Gig on at the moment. Don't listen to it much because I don't have a good enough player.
So, naturally, you know I'd *LOVE* to win a copy of Flipside!
I have 2 gigs of music on my blackberry, I listen to music daily on my blackberry and as a college student it helps pass the time. I'm broke so even the $19.99 probably wouldn't be an option. I want to win the copy of the flipside BADLY! Good luck to all!
I listen to music quite often. I would enjoy this program very much i think :)
I just joined a health club and really need Flipside to handle my workout music!!!
A)I have about one gb of music
B)P.O.D. is my favorite band. Alive is one of my favorite songs.
C)I have a seido 2600mAh battery, I am ready for it. I would appreciate the holiday gift. Good luck to all!
D)I am going to start because I had to let go of my ipod.
about 1 gig of music so far
Favorite musical artist: My husband
Favorite song: Promised Land
I'd love to win so I could give it to my husband who lives music and who bought me my new curve. (Which compliments the one I bought him.)
I listen almost daily.
I need a FlipSide for my Pearl because I'm too poor for an iphone/ipod. Thank you very much.
a) how many gigs of music are on your BlackBerry
Answer: aLOT. There's a 2g card, I'll stop adding songs when it tells me that space is gone.
b) who your favorite artist/song of all time is
Answer: Dave Matthews Band and U2 share this prize.
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide
Answer: I am leaving a comment during working hours....that means, pretty badly.
d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry
Answer: So much that I haven't had a full length conversation with family members in a week.
a) how many gigs of music are on your BlackBerry
about 1gig
b) who your favorite artist/song of all time is
Pearl Jam/any song will do
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide
Really really bad.
d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry
Daily, unless I'm super busy.
a) how many gigs of music are on your BlackBerry?
None yet. I've got my Curve for just over a week, and am just moving audio (other than Crackberry.com ringtones!) onto the memory card that I got today.
b) who your favorite artist/song of all time is?
Can I say A-Ha's "Take On Me"? There's never been music like 80's music...
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide?
I'd love it! I might be encouraged to get a bigger memory card in that case :)
d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry?
If I had streaming audio, I might end up listening to more music. But my intention had been to listen to audiobooks and podcasts. That will likely change as a result of using Flipside.
So, I just sold my 30+ year old collection of vinyl and have been gradually replacing it with CDs and downloads - this will take years or winning the lottery to complete. I have a Curve, have a Mac, use iTunes, drag and drop to a microSD car. I find Roxio one of the worst software experiences I have encountered. I bought a 2GB mircoSD for my Curve shortly after I bought the Curve and now, a few months later and with heavy editing of my top line favorites, have only 100mb left - primarily to leave some room for pictures. I'll be buying a 4 or 6 gb card soon.
Personally I can't come up with a single favorite artist or song but among my favorites are Otis Redding (the Otis Blue Album, in particular), early Willie Nelson, Don Gibson, Hank Williams (a great collection of others doing his tunes is Timeless, Bob Dylan (Highway 61 Revisited), Eva Cassidy (the Imagine Album stands out), .....
I listen to music on my berry several hours a day. I often listen at night to unwind - though this has the side effect of reinforcing my wife's belief that in only a few months I've become a real crackhead!
I want to win so badly, I'd chew through a piece of wood.
Happy Holidays to all.
From a new BB user, Merry Christmas to all...I would love to win this software. I'm expecting a shiny new 4GB card for my Pearl and this would be the perfect add-on. The only other BB thing on my list is the 4.3 firmware..... Well, we can hope.
I listen to music a good amount. I ran a 2.5 mil audio input into the back of my car stereo so when I get in the car, I can listen to anything on my phone. Anyhow, this program looks awesome and would love to get my hands on it. I have over 2 gbs music on my bb and hope to add more when I have time.
I have a 1 GB card almost full of music (gotta leave a little room for pictures).
I listen to music everyday. It may sound dorky, but I have my own soundtrack for my life, songs for the day I married my husband, my first broken heart, one for each of my daughter's births, songs for family members who've passed on and such.
I think it'd be cool to win the Flipside. Currently, I've been turning my Pearl into my own version of an iPhone. I have the Google Maps with the pseudo-GPS, I have SimulScribe for visual voicemail, and I have an iBerry theme! This would totally make my iPearl!
Hey! great site crackberry! i want my copy of flipside, great software!
regards
ratagore
Will it do Bluetooth on the Pearl? I would LOVE to be able to get music to my Bluetooth headphones from the Pearl. Then I could leave my iPod at home when I go Jogging :)

Ans: 2 gb at the moment. waiting for 4 gb compatible card.
b) who your favorite artist/song of all time is
Ans: def leopard
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide

d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry
Ans: Everyday, To work, to classes, in the gym, while i am roaming around and in the car..i would say all day...
I only have a few songs on my Pearl and I don't use it to listen to music very often. I'm a huge Mellencamp fan and I want to win FlipSide so I will put more music on my Berry!
I don't have many songs, but if I got FlipSide, I would ditch my ipod and stick to my BBry only :-)
I just got my BlackBerry yesterday and it sure would be nice to have some cool apps to put on it!
Just got my 8320 Curve and I'm lovin' the site. Trying to read up as much as I can and I would love to hear my music through my blackberry, never really had an mp3 player before.
Cool, Peace!
I am new to the world of Blackberry.
I love all the cool little gadgets and have spent lots of money so far. I sure could use a free app.
8 gigs of music and a couple of vids with bluetooth S9 headset...it HAS replaced my ipod. Why carry more than one device...well...aside from my 8130 and 8830...FlipSide rocks...thanks crackberry!
I have a 4gb card and it is full of music, i use my blackberry in the car, when im out, and in my house with a blue tooth receiver on my stereo. This software would be perfect more me!
Once I found out my trial beta version was out of date and had to pay to upgrade I said "No Thanks". I listen to my 2 gigs of music ALL THE TIME and now I'm stuck with the boring basic BBmedia. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! GIVE ME A FREE COPY OF FLIPSIDE!!!
I wanna win. Plain and simple. I have no music on my BB but I'll totally change that if I have a sweet player. Thats my story. OUT
a) how many gigs of music are on your BlackBerry
- none yet, I am still deciding on either the 8830 or the 8130 to replace my 8703e
b) who your favorite artist/song of all time is
- the beach boys, who doesn't love them
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide
- really badly, I have been in love with my berry since I put the iberry black theme on my berry because of the slick looking user interface on the blackberry, but I hate having to carry my nano around with me so I can use coverflow and I like slick looking interfaces so this means I can drop my nano.......
d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry....well i would be listening to it all the time when i decide which one I am going to get......
Afterall once you go Blackberry.....you never go BACKBERRY!
Got the music, just need to wait for the os update to get the new 8gb micro sdhc cards could buy 2 cards i just for my favorite music while working and one card while I'm out so i can still use the camera
Loved the trial version of Flipside, sooo much smoother than the BB media player. I have a 4GB sd card which is mostly music (got to have some tele shows to watch at the airport...) My BB 8830 has replaced my iPod all together, no easy job either, as my iPod (and now BB) are seemingly always filling the air (or at least my ears) with music. Love that I only have to carry 1 device now!!! Cant wait for the ability to have even bigger memory cards! w00t!!
My phone has a 2gb card. Hard to pick my favorite artist, but probably U2 or REM -- both classic bands in my mind. Would be cool to win so I could show those iphone owners what can be done on a real phone. I fly twice a week and current using the standard app, but its clear there is a better option.
0o0! Me wants this!
a) 2 gigs currently on my 8130. Will most likely goto 4gigs soon.
b) Madonna/Sky Fits Heaven
c) I want Flipside so bad I'll have to txt Santa to give it to me for Christmas!
d) Just starting to add songs to my 8130 but I love the way the demo of Flipside works with the pics and all. Got me Linkin Park and Bon Jovi on their currently but more to come.
Well I'm a new crackberry addict, so I don't have a micro sd card yet. But once I get one I'll have probably 2 or 4 GB of music on here. :)
(a) 2.33 GB of Music on my BB
(b) My favorite artist song is Comfortably Numb (Black Berry Thumb) By Pink Floyd - but the one with Van Morison doing the vocals from The Departed.
(c) I so badly want to win FlipSide it is making me madly insane.
(d) I listen to music often but I would more often if I had a copy of FlipSide and I would be sure to show all my friends and associates, even posting images to the CB forums as often as possible.
Thanks in advance.
I have had my BB Curve with a 2gig for 3 months and love it! I stumbled on to CrackBerry thru VIIGO on my BB and since I've beeb here I feel an addiction comin' on to CrackBerry! I am so lovin' it and BTW Thank You for the great Christmas Theme it Rocks! ~Maribeth~
When shopping around for a new device I heard about the fruit. It wasn't available to my carrier and the I discovered the PEARL! Sleek, stylish,light, played music and so much more! I have upgraded to a 2 gig card and use it on my walks. I raved so much that my sister and daughter are now crackberries too. I listen to mine daily and plug it into my laptop for all to hear. I think this Flip is just perfect for me and wouldn't it be lovely for Christmas. Pleeeaase!
Might as well join in on the fun! =)
a) I don't have very much music on my Berry at the time being. I plan to get a 4 gb micro SD card and then put some music on it
b) My favorite artist would have to be Weird Al Yankovich. His parodies are top notch and quite funny!
c) I would really like to win FlipSide because it is a very intuitive and easy to use program. That's important because you would want to use an mp3 player that is easy to control, right?
d) Not very much, but when I get my memory card, that will change!
Currently have about 3GB of a 4GB card filled with music
favorite music is kinda a bit of a toss up between Tom Petty and Pink Floyd, since I have so much on my BB in the way of music it's kinda hard to keep track of all of it since flipside displays album art/sorts music by album I really need it lol and I listen to my music EVERYDAY!, Some people have iPod's ....I have my BB.
a) how many gigs of music are on your BlackBerry
Just bought a brand new 2Gb memory card for my Curve... but already planned to buy a 4gb as I can't put all my music :(
b) who is your favorite artist/song of all time is
Come on, you really don't know? :) Just look at the screenshot... The Beatles of course! Best ever band. And the best thing England has ever brought us! (an it's hard to admit it... I'm French :)
c) how badly you want to win FlipSide
So badly, that I take to time to write comment during working hours and that my credit card is yelling at me: please use me, please use me ! Don't let it win (for this time) ;)
d) how often you listen to music on your BlackBerry
Twice a day, 5 days a week: Morning when going to work, evening when going back home
I have all but given up using my ipod. I just have very little need for it now that I have a phone that plays mp3s. The standard music player user interface is a bit cumbersome though.
