As I type this I'm anxiously awaiting the arrival of my shiny new WHITE BlackBerry Bold 9700. Summer is here and I'm excited as all heck to rock a white device while the weather is hot. But with the arrival of my new baby that means my original BLACK Bold 9700 is going to be in need of a new owner who will treat her with the same love and respect I've shown her over the past months we've spent together. Knowing our loyal readers, I know there's nobody better than a CrackBerry member to win my BlackBerry Bold 9700!!!

How to Enter: Since we have lots of cool BIG contests planned for the next few months, we're going to keep this one simple. All you need to do is login to CrackBerry.com and leave a nice comment here to this blog post. Just be sure to put some effort into the comment - I'm not sure somebody who leaves a comment saying "contest entry" or "pick me" is cracky enough to own my BlackBerry Bold 9700. Give it some love. Please just one comment per member. Contest ends this Sunday, May 23rd at midnight PST. Winner will be picked at random, but I'm definitely going to read through every comment!

And that's it. As easy as that you can win my BlackBerry Bold 9700. Don't worry... I'll be sure to give a good handheld wipe before I ship it off and let my BBM contacts know to wipe that pin off their contact lists. There's a few photos below too you can check out. Best of Luck!!!

Some Photos of My BlackBerry Bold 9700

Just got a new DSLR and this video and four photos were the first I took with it (haven't even glanced at the manual yet to learn how to actually use it... lol). Click on an image for a bigger view.

Good Luck!!!!

I am interested in this device since I'm stuck in a 2y contract, and can't be afford to buy another device at retail. I had to buy my tour at retail price,I can't get any blackberry until next year. Please pick me!

I would really like to win this BB 9700… not for myself but for my son. I have a 9700 already and love it to death. I am entering this contest in order to try and win it for him. He has a Samsung Impression at this time, and since I am a single dad and do all the house work sometimes I forget to check the pockets of the cloths that I wash. One night in a hurry to do the wash I tossed everything into the washer and his phone was in there. Long story short he has the cleanest phone around, although he can barely hear me when I call to wake him up for school. His Birthday is May 30th and I would love to be able to give this to him as a present since I am unable to get him a new phone until spring 2011 because of the contract. Thank you, and good luck to everyone!!! edit: oops, wrong place to post, sorry!!

I would gladly give that sexy phone a great new home. Pick me pretty please :D

Posted by robinater4223 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

you should give me this phone as a graduation present for me.

Posted by onemanarmy Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Lemme get that!!

Posted by Andrax Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Howdy, I'm interested in a little piece of BB history on many levels. One, it's a Crackberry phone so come on... that's pretty ground breaking. The other is that I hear nothing but rave reviews on the 9700 and how it is the end all be all blackberry device. Having never had one in my hands, I can't say for sure, but I would love the opportunity to see for myself! It does look like a fantastic device. Hopefully one of these days I'll see it in action first hand!

Thanks for your consideration. Always great stuff going on round these CB parts. ;)

This phone has a unique history, and it would be nice for someone south of the Canadian border to own a piece of CB history (complete with the CB labeling. I would be honored if i was the one to be chosen for this.

Posted by suself Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Kevin! you ALWAYS have the best giveaway and this one DOES NOT disappoint!
i would love to have CB branded 9700!

Posted by tumer Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

I want one

Posted by j_wagon Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

The blackberry bold i am using right now is the best device i probally have ever used. Unfortunately the bold im using isnt mine and i had to borrow it because i cant afford to replace my iphone that was stolen from me. It would be great to win this blackberry :D

Posted by mpwt51 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

I could win the tool of the God. No way that this lowly peasant could be worthy of such a prize. Please for the love of the Crackberry Gods, PICK ME!

Posted by chernij Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

I'd love to get my hands on a 9700. I have an 8900 at the moment, but it'd cost be £140 to upgrade to the 9700 at the moment as I'm only 8 months into a 24 months contract :( I've heard the 8900 won't be able to run OS 6.0, unfortunately, yet the 9700 will be able to. It's sad, for me.

Posted by 312 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Are you leaving the pics of the girl on it?

Posted by neuropolis Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

A 9700 would be FANTASTIC! SHINY!

Posted by AnthonyAF99 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

I would love to own this piece of equipment as my first blackberry. I am a college student and would greatly benefit by owning a blackberry for my teachers to email me what is going on and such. I would love the device like I do with my non-smartphone. Thanks for the opportunity to win! GO CRACKBERRY!

Posted by neant Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

what a wonderful device :)

Posted by DUKDIKz Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

always wanted a bold 9700,,,ma contract is not over yet...it will be cool if i can have this one...lol

Posted by flip-it3 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

A couple of months ago I was in a couples plan with my girlfriend and we were waiting for the contract to end to get a blackberry for each of us. I got a good deal on a blackberry plan so I had got it while she had to keep her old phone. I felt bad since she wanted the blackberry more than me. It would be cool if I could win this for her so we could bbm each other. Thanks.

Posted by infamousme06 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Pick me. I Want Those Stickers. I Will Put The All Over D.C. Lol

Posted by luqman24 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

I really need a new phone because I lost my Bold 9000 a few days ago and i'm not eligible for an upgrade until October. And I loved my Bold 9000 more than any other phone I've owned. It was the perfect size and keyboard for me. But now I can't afford a new one so I would really appreciate it if I was given that 9700. Help a crackberry brotha out!

Posted by dhardra Tuesday, May 18, 2010 634 days ago

maybe you will lose this one too! ;-)

Posted by ShiftyAxel Sunday, May 23, 2010 630 days ago

Way to be tactless and insensitive, nice going buddy.

Posted by AnneO Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

It would be nice for me to win this BB for my husband. He has a really crabby Samsung Blackjack that drops calls daily. He always gives me and our daughter his upgrades and takes our cast offs, so we would like to see him with something nicer. Thanks for the contest

Posted by pakenham Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

What a good way to give away your phone. If I got that phone I would sure stay with Blackberry. I have a Storm 1 and am can not stand not having a keyboard. Please draw my name to win.

Posted by andyahs Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

What a great giveaway. Very generous of you. Been eying this for my Wife as she needs a desperate upgrade from her Curve 8300 which she has gotten very good use out of. I am not ready to give up my 9000 yet but for her this would be awesome. Again, a cool contest and good luck to all.

Man I love my 9000 but want to stay in the runnings for 6, and I'd love to try the 9700. Plus then I could give my 9000 to my girlfriend and finally get her addicted =>

Posted by kingbb99 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

You should give this to me Kevin because everyone with a Bold lords it over my crappy Curve.

Posted by OviFan Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

I just want this phone because it belongs to the biggest crackberry of them all, and it would be an honor to own one of Kevin's phones :P

Posted by ratsttam Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

But sadly, as nice of a device that it is, I would never be able to make much use of it. You see, I live in an area that is ruled by CDMA (at&t/tmobile coverage is rather spotty), and my carrier of choice is Sprint. Maybe there is a 9650 in my near future?

Posted by Remik Szul Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

I want it! Just so I can own a piece of Kevin Michaluk's legacy.

Posted by iSin Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Kevin it would be an honor to me having your Bold 9700, loving the fact this is one top of the line phone and it is a BlackBerry! love the size, keyboard, processor and camera with an OtterBox it looks extremely awesome, i would love to have this phone in my hand.

Cheers to all CrackBerry Team!

Posted by bluedimness Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Looks like you take awesome care of your phone. That thing still looks mint.

Posted by rorosz Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Needless to say this site is invaluable for up-to-date info on everything BB related, from issue resolution, to great tips, to excellent and accurate reviews. Lots of great contests and never forget the BB Pay-it-Forward concept was born here.
Thanks for all you guys do!

Posted by gyrferret Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Well, I haaaaave been eying a Bold over my Storm. Sometimes, change is needed to up your level of happiness. I think a bold would be an amazing step up, even if a carrier change is in order...

Posted by rdy78 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

i would so love this i am tired of my 9630 and i can't take the trackpad with no wi fi and i still am a year away from my upgrade i need something to keep me going GL to all...

I'd LOVE a new blackberry to play with!

Posted by cyberoid Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

I already own a Bold 9700 but it would be exciting to carry two of them :).

Posted by arvindh Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

Can I please have some of that new Crack(berry)Bold,man? I'm really fiending, man, the 8330 just isn't hitting that HIGH note anymore.

Posted by redman12 Thursday, May 20, 2010 633 days ago

yea I lost my phone last night in the forest, it was a Nokia N95, it's not my phone actually it's my sister's phone.. She let me borrowed it for a while because few months before that, either I lost/stole my blackberry pearl T-Mobile 8120. Went to look for it the next day in the forest.. Unfortunately, I didn't find it :\ Phone less, I'm now using our home phone, which is T-Mobile@home.

Update on my Nokia N95: I found my phone. His brother told me he hide it under my bed. Turns out he's pissed because I was ripping on him couple days ago. I never told them I went to the forest, I don't wanna look like an idiot :P

Posted by ptanniger Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

My first BB device was a Storm oddly enough. I have been wanting to try out that new (not really that new I guess) trackpad for some time now.

Posted by bobbyb0322 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago

This is the best Blackberry resource on the net. I would love to win this phone because yesterday I cracked the screen on my 9000! This would completely solve my problem!

Posted by eddie55 Tuesday, May 18, 2010 635 days ago
