You didn't think I'd come home from WES 2008 empty handed did you? Before the event came to an end I made a final sprint around the Solutions Showcase and gathered up all of the Schwag I could carry and pack into my suitcase. Luckily, I packed light so I'd have lots of room to bring home the goods so we could give it away to our loyal members!!

i had wanted to go so bad, but time wasn't on my side.. perhaps next year! gl to everyone!
Put my name on the list. I think the BB Bold was the best news that came out of WES. Schwag Pack would be nice to win since I don't need another remote for my small setup! :)
Love The Unify for Life, now all that is needed is a way to control other people with blackberry
Got Schwag .... give it to me!
a)everything ...
b)more of it ...
c)give it all to me ... now (don't wait!)
Add me to the list of schwag entrants.
A) Best thing for me was a tie between the BOLD and the Unify4Life announcement, really looking for this one.
B) What I am looking forward to in the '09 WES? Continual advancements in BB related technology either native from RIM or from 3rd party vendors.
BTW, ya'll did and excellent job in covering WES.
it would be real nice sitting in my media room and all i need is my trusty blackberry and that's all. i'm tired of fooling with that big ole thing they call a remote
Looks like some cool Schwag,
I am sooo looking forward to the Blackberry Bold 9000 series, that is what i wanted in my 8310 curve, EVERYTHING, wifi, GPS, and to top it off 3G, that will be sweet since i use my curve as a tethered modem, and have a treo 750 when I need the speed, so I will be finally able to ditch that. Awesome.
My fav thing is the unify4Life. . . I want one baaaaaaaaad :)
I am HARD PRESSED to get my hands on EITHER the WES or Unify Package!!! Either way I am a HAPPY "CURVE(Y)"CRACKBERRY HEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!
I personal thought the unify4life product was right up there with the bb Bold. But i'd give the edge to the Bold... I'd like to see myself at WES 2009 and I'd like the unify4life prize pack, that way i can take back the TV from my kids....
Unify4Life BlackBerry Remote was on the top of my favorite Applications.
I would love to see something simular to LowJack but instead BBJack for you BlackBerry, Remote car starter and keyless entry as well.
Unify4Life BlackBerry Remote that way i can controller the garage door and hopefully the Unify4Life BlackBerry Remote gets an update for remote starter and car door opener. So when my wifes is running after me with a glass plate in her hand i can jump right in to the car and drive off, LMAO.
Unify4Life omg sweet app
My favorite thing to come out of Wes 08 was the Unity4Life. Putting one remote in your hand that you definately will never loose. Its actually one of the things I want as well, the ability to control your entertainment with your BB. Yes...Yes BB bold was a big one at Wes but we all knew this was comming.
Also want to say great coverage in keeping us in the loop with all the WES news.
This is saweettttt. I have been envious that I was not at WES this year because it looked like loads of fun and the announcements coming out of there are awesome....
On to the contest....
I would like to win either of the prizes. I am all about free schwag and I think all the items in the schwag pack would be great to have. I am also excited about the unify4life prize because I watch a lot of TV and if I never have to put my blackberry curve 8310 down I would be happy.....
To me, everyone on CB is connected in the way that we all love our bbs...we all have found out that blackberrys are just completely addictive (no sugar on the side please ;) and I think anyone would be happy to win any prize relating to our toys,office tool,getaway play thing,dictionary,email,sms hanheld...etc lol. I think what was best about WES 2008 wasn't exactly what came out but the idea that we are producing and creating such amazing apps and programs that are used on such small devices. What I hope for WES 2009 is many more amazing advances in the little thing that all of us, or most of us, carry around in our pockets everyday...Maybe one day our bbs will be as small and thin as a credit card but as visually amazing as a TV screen. Thanks for the chance to win some schwag.
Cheers to the next WES!

Hello Kevin, Thanks for the very informative podcasts from WES 2008, you covered a lot of material. I would like to receive the Viigo bag pack, I am really looking forward to updating to Viigo Project Tango on my BB especially for the OTA podcast downloads. Once again thanks for the CB podcasts and the CB website. :-) Chris
Please sign me up! I'm really looking forward to the Bold - looks like a great product and finally 3G!
I love conferences with free schwag, and that fact that you are giving it away to a loyal fan is great! Keep providing us with great updates.
Unify for life seemed REALLY cool--I'd love to be able to use my BB as a remote.....
A. I think the Unify4Life system is one of the coolest ideas that I have seen in a long time. Beats trying to use the low power IR in some cell phones as a remote... 2 feet away from the TV. :-)
B. I want to see BB take on more of the consumer market. I want a full media experience. Rich Games, an open development platform... .NET Maybe? Not sure, but I want BB to become more common place in the "This phone can do anything" category.

As much as I would like the Bold, I can still use my Curve for the time being and do what I need to do.
Unify4Life is the best announcement to come out of WES 2008. That's what I want to get my hands on! Plus my Curve never leaves my side. No more asking/begging the kids to remember where they put the remote.
The best thing to come from WES was def Unify4Life. And I'd love to see myself and the Crack team at WES next year ;)
I NEED one of those remotes!
Do I have to choose just one response? I hope i'm not not disqualify myself by doing this!
My favorite thing to come out of WES 2008 was the official announcement that the Blackberry Bold was coming! As an employee of the first carrier to receive the phone, as well as a 20 times a day crackberry reader, official is just one step closer to getting my hands on it. Our market is updating to 3G on June 15th, and what better device to compliment the market launch than the long awaited Bold!
2009 WES, i'd love to see any and everything ... an event like WES can't really be narrowed down to just one thing i'd love to see. But if I must make a choice of something i'd love to see, I want something simple. I want the Blackberry to come standard with the ability to play stereo sound through a mono headset, instead of having to go in and add the patch that's out there to make it work. Like I said ... something simple.
And finally, what i'd like to win? That's a tough one, but sticking with technology, I really want to win the Unify4Life package. I think that's cutting edge stuff that's gonna be huge in a hurry, and I want to be in on it. If I have to buy it, I would'nt be surprised if I did. But to have a chance at winning it ... sign me up! We have way too many remotes as it is ... please help with this problem!!
Thanks Crackberry!
i would love to win one of them schwag bags.. i love free tees. the goodies too. kind of a pack rat.. hahahahah.. please
Would love to win a prize! Schwag is FTW. Defiantly better than anything I picked up at the RSA conference last year..
I would love to win the Unify4Life BlackBerry Remote! This would revolutionize my life as I always have my 8320 on my hip (even in PJs). Many years ago I had used a remote application on my Treo 180 and Treo 600 to control my TV and it worked, but with the limited IR power of the device I was restricted to be within 6 feet of the TV. Unify4Life would be incredible!! As Dori said in Finding Nemo . . . "pick me, pick me!"
BOLD BOLD BOLD, would be the best thing out of 2008 WES
I would really use the Unify4life, as a matter of fact I was considering buying it today but got diverted to actually do some work.
WES 2009, I would like to see a "Where We Are going"
New Future products, the new ones coming out are great but let go one step past that and look at a 5 year product. What could we be doing in 5 years that would knock Steve Jobs Sock off???
Any way thanks for the great WES Information this year.
Unify4Life is best and favorite thing coming out of WES 2008 this year beside the Bold.
The 9000 was definitely the highlight of WES for me. Hopefully I'll have the money to pony up for it when the time comes. Or maybe CB can give a few away... hehe.
a) Unify4Life
b) I want to see myself attending WES 2009
c) Unify4Live because it looks awesome
My favorite Thing coming out of WES was Unify4Life. That Is by far the most exciting application yet. I also like the fact that Rim finally released OS 4.5 to it's partners.
Next Year, I'd like to see more applications for blackberry, and more blackberries being released. The Phone market is competitive and to stay successfull, I believe it is RIM's duty to stay on top of the latest technology.
I'd like to win the Unify4Life Remote because It's the greatest app for bb i've ever seen and it would definately be something I'd take advantage of daily. I love my Curve 8320 and my Pearl 8120. Now if they'd get the remote to control my wife, I'd be the happiest BB addict ever...lol
Please Choose Me!!!!! Pleeeeeeeeeez????

MUST get a Unify4Life BlackBerry Remote ! LOVE LOVE!
Just one more way Blackberry can help me feel
more in control of my world. ^___^
With four kids and ONE remote, can you guess what I'm after??!?!
Since I first heard of Unify4Life's excellent app I've been salivating! Of course, with 3 BB's in the house, the channel wars will be interesting to say the least!
Woo hoo!
Thanks for the great coverage and a great site. :-)
Unity4Life and Bayalink's Liberty systems are right up my ally! Either one would be very cool! At any rate, free schwag is always welcome! Keep up the good work guys!
I want either prize! T-shirts are always cool, and the Unify4Life Blackberry Remote is SWEEEET !!!
I would like just a Unity4Life but ... we like all schwag...
My favorite thing coming out of WES 2008 would have to be Unify 4 Life. At WES 2009 I hope to see the browser improved and media support.
for 2009, best of WES will be a GOOD voice to text app for bb!
I WOULD LIKE TO WIN AN OTTERBOX CASE, OR A BLACKBERRY T-SHIRT BECAUSE I NEED A NEW CASE, AND WANT TO ADVERTISE MY ADDICTION WITH THE T LOL
Im definently looking foward to getting my hands on the "Bold"! Im on the Sprint service so hopefully those reports of a September release are accurate!!
Definitely think the Unify4Life is the coolest thing, but Bold is what I'm personally most excited about.
I'll take either! :)
Could have sworn I was signed in...now I am!
reasons why i should win:
- i never, and i mean NEVER, win anything
- i just bought my very first crackberry a few months ago, had to pay full price, and now can't afford to buy all of the cool accessories
- things like cases are fantastic for someone like me.... i drop everything and am a total klutz, hence the username 'bumpersteph'
- i work for rogers.... if i had a dollar for every time someone needed help with something on their bb, that could have easily found the answer to on the cb forums, i would be a rich girl, and be able to afford to buy all of the coolest accessories.
Pick me! Please please please!
oops double post
Oooooo, I want a Bold, Unify4Life, and BlackBerry Unite!
Hey folks!!
Great content coming out of WES 2008!! I have really enjoyed everyday news coming from Crackberry.com
I think I am most excited to hear more about Viigo's Project Tango and what Bold means to the future of RIM and smartphones in general.
Thanks Crackberry!!
Crackberry 4 life!
