My trip to Waterloo, the hometown of BlackBerry, is now officially over. Research In Motion kept me BUSY from the moment I got there to the moment I left, so I haven't had a chance to do much blogging yet on the experience (will catch up over the next few days and into next week).
I was **really** hoping RIM would give me a BlackBerry Bold 9900 as a thanks for visiting present, but when it didn't look like that was going to happen I decided it was time to take the matter into my own hands to make sure I left RIM with a new Bold 9900 in hand. I'm happy to say I succeeded in attaining a Bold... even if only for a *few* seconds. Watch the video above to see the action unfold...

I got my BlackBerry Bold 9900!
Hey Kevin, what phone do you use for your everyday use? I'm using a 9650 waiting for the bold 9930
i too got my hands on one of these last night, a SEXY piece of kit, can't believe how slim it is
Good to see that the powers that be at RIM have a nice sense of humour to help you out on this.
Nice job Kevin, looking forward to you sharing the whole experience.
Unfunny
I like how the car said "demo vehicle". lol
C'mon Kevin, you could have walked out casually with it in your pocket! Waving it around was your demise!!!!
Even the police car is also demo version =))
IMHO, that didn't look like a 9900 to me. Looked kinda grey and Curve like......
Love the new Dodge Charger
BOLD
Lol! Too bad you didn't fet away with it!
It's good to be the BlackBerry Kyng!
Good job Kevin.... But dude, seriously? You got 2 hands, why didn't you grab another one for someone else. Where's the love man? LoL. Cheers......
Big LOL Kev!
Was fun watching :-)
And just BTW: did you put on some weight ?
;-)
Looks like he put on some buff.... Scary.
next time take me and lets see if we can pull a bait and switch. I'm a better runner.
lmfao @ DEMO CAR :P
Kevin what you needed was some PF Flyers (The Sandlot) you wouldve been able to outrun the cops easily!
Any time someone makes a Sandlot reference, you get a standing applause. Nice job.
Hey Kev, is that the police car where they did the demo with the Playbook? I was wondering if they were using 4G Playbooks for the Police car...
I've only been here since '09 but that's the funniest thing I've seen here on CrackBerry! Nice work Kevin :D
A man has to do what man has to do! Desperate times call for desperate measures!!! LOL Too funny!!! We all are going to be doing what Kevin did if RIM does not release any devices soon!!!!
wow getting arrested in a demo vehicle.that was cheesy. but love the excitement.
kevin, you are crazy but we love you and CB :)
Funny thing. On the rear fender of the car was "DEMO VEHICLE". Perhaps driven by DEMO COPS to protect the DEMO BOLD 9900 that Kevin stole?
Can't wait to see an unboxing of this phone!!
either i'm tired...or that was legitimately funny. LMAO!!
lol @ demo vehicle...
YAWN
I'm not gonna say what it looks like you were doing to that poor phone after you got it into the back seat - practically confirmed by the relaxed look and big grin you show in the next shot as you cuddle the phone...
too bad thats not REAL rim security =P. real rim security uses prius they have a bunch of them at rim 6 ....
He obviously didnt get one guys. The whole thing was a joke. i love how everyone is congratulating him on his new non device.
cant wait to get one though :)
Silly.......LOL!!
Even the vehicles are just demos. : (
Best video on Crackberry yet. And obviously he did get one, regardless if he was busted or not :D
He Definitly got one - for all he does for BB they should give a gold plated one! I expect to start hearing your reviews on it now !!!
Even more true
As the title is 'I got my BlackBerry Bold 9900!' and not 'I **got** my BlackBerry Bold 9900!' Then I believe that Kevin indeed managed to get one Bold 9900 in his possession. :)
Too true... lol
Only thing that would of made that better is Kevin getting tasered! :D
haha Kevin, that was awesome. a little too scripted but awesome none the less.
Man, if you're gonna make a run for it, you could at least made it look exciting! Duck and weave! Psyche him out! Run in circles! Entice him with doughnuts! This could have gotten EPIC!
Still, I knew a video was gonna come. And I enjoyed it fully.
SS :D
too fooking funny
You must not get out a lot?
lol good stuff
Please its just an oversized pager. same old crapberry.
Grow some balls and ask RIM the hard questions.
Kissing their ass to get a free blackerry is just sad
Ah, the troll speaks.
Move along people, nothing to see here, CB fans.
Another sad, hilarious case of "Haters gonna hate". Nothing new.
SS 9_9
Yo Kev, did you need to remove the vendor.xml file before running off with it?
Funny stuff. Sad to see so many haters that can't even get a joke!
You call this a joke? Wow another one that needs to get out more...
So Kevin ..... does RIM have a lot of good stuff in the Pipeline?
Will our Berrys keep fresh from now on?
Time for a remake of that old black and white picture you took for the original Bold 9000 review!
Kevin, did you guys use the mounted Playbook for the shot inside the car? Or did you snatch it!?
LOL - the run reminded me of the pictures circulating around the net 2 years ago of Alex Rodriguez rounding the bases with a purse.

lol..you made my day Kevin...really tickled my funny bone
Dam Kev, lmfao here in starbucks! Congrats bro, it's about time, you deserve it!
posted from my crackbook!
For some reason I had a feeling Kevin was going to do a video running out of rim headquarters with a 9900. The police car was a nice touch!
I told you that was his Game Plan.
Awesome that the PlayBook demo mobile was part of the action...
Awesome action Kevin!!! Wish I was there to grab one too! Hahaha
lol funny
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! funny stuff.... anyways congrats on ur new 9900! LUCKY U! waiting on the review!! cant wait to get mine!
called it! ;)
that was awesome!
Great skit. Gratz on the 9900!
@dunaway
I think I just SHAT myself - Mr. Deeds movie. lol, Kev teased us on this one, and I mean tease to the fullest extent. lol
I'd like to see a review of the 9900 next week kev ;)
Dammit Kevin, behave yourself! We all want one but stealing is wrong. You know what happens to Blackberry users in those prison showers, don't ya?
They get asked for business advice. Android users don't get bothered since you can't really do anything to them, they get raped with malware 4 hours each day until the battery dies. iPhone users on the other hand, they're prime pickens with their pretty little white phones and impressionable minds. They get the sausage.
Omg, is that why Rogers discontinued the white Torch 9800? :0
Could be, I wouldn't really call the Torch pretty though.
It's pretty, but not to the glamor and glitz of an iPhone.
Love the parady. Andranoids getting raped by malware, nice...
+1
lmfao!
Notice how Kevin isn't responding. He's too giddy with the new 9900.
I bet Kevin would have ran faster if he had dogs on his tail and "Nike" shoes on his feet... Great video!
Hey, Kevin was running so fast he had to slow down for the camara! Jeez everyones a critic. Lol
It seems that RIM must be aware that people are waiting now too !
There is 55 seconds I won't get back. Thanks CrackBerry. Its actually more then 55 because now I'm typing....on my BlackBerry PlayBook....about it. :)
Next time have a motorcycle in front of the door to getaway, lol. Great video to end your time at RIM.
How STUPID.
Bahahahah this is hilariousssss. Good one Kev!
aaaahahaha lol awesome :) luv it !!! kevin :)
Ha, I love it. But lol at that "run". :P
LMFAOOO Kevin that was priceless. I love it!
Best. skit. ever.
He probably can't say if he got one or not. ;) Might be an embargo.
Maybe he did, maybe he didn't.
If he signed the NDA, he should give the bold to one of us and we will be more than glad to leak all the videos.
That "run" was pathetic...:)
That scene almost rivaled the shirtless scene in Top Gun....too much man love going on ;)
Nice police vehicle
Bit of a sissy run u got there Kevin. Looked a little light in the loafers. ;-)
Looked like a setup prank to me. So did you or did you not really get a Bold 9900?
I think a more appropriate user name for you would be "Captain Obvious".
LOL! :D
Yeah the capturing of Kevin, etc. was obviously a prank/joke (I am sorry I offended you by being obvious), but what I really want to know is if he really got a 9900 to keep.
lol....Kevin saying "oh shit" just crack me up .
LOL...that was comedy gold. It cracked me up too.
I thought I was the only one.
give me one lol
LOL @ the Bad Boys music.
+1... totally awesome!
Agreed! :)
PLease tell me you did an unboxing!
I'm guessing he didn't. :(
LOL
I'd be happy to take care of your 9900 while you're doing time, Kevin. Anything to help.
Nice job Kev!. What's with the rest of the crew not helpin with your escape?!
hell yea kevin congrats cant wait to get mine FIRST
