Developers: Are you eligible for the limited edition BlackBerry 10 trade up program? Be sure to check your email!
I have no idea what that thing with the splat is (coaster, trivet, frisbee, et cetera); but I know I want one.
+1 lol
+1 was thinking the same thing! LOL
+1 Mmm mmm!
Definitely! I want that too! Hopefully the Limited Ed BB10 comes with it as a coaster for my LE-BB10. LOL
haha yes me too I would love to get the coaster. it looks really cool
and yes i am among the devs who got the approval email
thanks RIM
The notification thing should be a grip pad for your car and given out with bb10 phones.
Got my email, registered, comfirmation email, and apparently RIM customer service is supposed to contact us to arrange for pickup! Very excited and to be honest I'm going to miss my, err, RIMs little Dev Alpha. Although the spirit will live on in all BlackBerry 10 devices to come.
I got it too! I have another Dev Alpha (havent recieved trade up email for it, will get it in a couple of days) and will be getting 1 more which I won at all-aboard portathon and will get one more from the next portathon. So I will be getting 4 limited edition devices!
4 really, 4???
Are they all touch screen version?
Yes, 4. Might get one another from a local Blackberry 10 competition!
well if you want to sell one ..... lemme know !!! LOL
4 devices, I am so envious. How about sharing one with your new best friend :).
how much would you like for one?
Got my email about an hour ago.
This is WAY better than Christmas!
Didn't think I could get more excited about the launch on the 30th, I was wrong.
Got mine! Woo hoo!
I'm happy to say that Launch Codes for BlackBerry has been approved. I will be getting my limited edition BB10.
On a side note check out Launch Codes for BlackBerry - Audio Podcast has been added and you can listen to your fav CrackBerry Podcast on it today.
am I right that my app needs to be approved before I request my limeted Edition device?
ah and it says that it will be opened until the 21th of january - so still time am I right?
because I'm still waiting 4 approval before I want to submit my request. (submitted it on the 3rd of January)
Yes, it needs to be approved. Approval took 10 days for my app in december ... still enough time for you.
A guy from the Dev team told me to submit my request for trade up - so I did and will see what happens ^^
Submitted my app on the 28th of December. Haven't heard anything about it, but hoping I will soon, so I can submit it for the trade program!
I got another email after that:
