Attendees will get to take home sweet CrackBerry swag and VIP tickets to the BlackBerry Mobile launch event on the 25th!
BlackBerry Mobile will be officially unveiling the BlackBerry 'Mercury' at their press event on Saturday, February 25th in Barcelona. I'm attending. Bla1ze is attending. We decided while we're in Barcelona it only makes sense to have a proper CrackBerry Meetup while we're there. So that's what we're doing!
If you're a BlackBerry Fan and will be in Barcelona on Friday, February 24th, we would love for you to join us for a casual evening of food and fun and BlackBerry talk. Attendees at the CrackBerry Meetup will get to take home some exclusive 10 Years of CrackBerry swag and our friends at BlackBerry Mobile have hooked us up with VIP passes to their launch event that CrackBerry Meetup attendees will receive as well. That means you'll be able to attend in person the BlackBerry Mobile launch event on the evening of the 25th and get to play with the newest BlackBerry first hand. How awesome is that?!
CrackBerry Meetup RSVP Instructions
We're still finalizing exact details on venue and time, but the CB Meetup will be the evening of the 24th and be a casual affair (think tapas, some drinks, lots of talk about BlackBerry!). We'll have to cap off the number of attendees based on the capacity in the venue we book (we're thinking around 30 people), so if you plan on attending, we'll need you to RSVP. Attendees must be at least 21 years of age.
CLICK HERE TO FILL IN THE RSVP FORM
Please only RSVP if you plan on attending. We will follow up within 48 hours via email to confirm your RSVP and will continue to relay details to you about the meetup via email as they get locked in. Please RSVP as soon as possible. When we reach capacity we will update this post to let everyone know that we're out of room (you can still RSVP and be put on a wait list just in case anybody cancels).
I hope to see you in Barcelona so together we can celebrate 10 Years of CrackBerry and usher in a new generation of BlackBerry Smartphones from from BlackBerry Mobile in CrackBerry style!!

WHAT - good news!
Looking forward to a NYC meetup in the future - the last one I went to was a blast!
Wish it would have happened last week while I was in Igualada. You all have a great time.
Cheers

I'll be there, hope to meet a TON of you guys !
YES!!! Looking forward to it. A reunion of some old familiar names, and lots of new faces too!
Now that's pretty cool! To all those going, it's going to be such a memorable day. Hope you all have a fantastic time.
Would love to go and have access to the Crackberry anniversary swag and speak to all you lovely people but sadly work has to come first.
Maybe there can be a giveaway for some of that swag :D haha

****, that sounds awesome! Have fun guys!
Wish I was going. Spain, sun sea and s s s blackberry mobiles :-)
Happy 10th year, CB!! Thank you for being a great BlackBerry playground!!
Since this isn't taking place in the US, why does one have to be 21 to attend?
Haha Good question. I was wondering about it too. Maybe they don't want to be prosecuted when they go back to the US. Even Canada is okay with U21.
So to avoid issues when flirting with mischievous girls.
Oh BlackBerry girls are quite professional, secure and business-oriented.
I am doing an event that day. I hope you video it.
Wish I was going!
It would be great to be there, but I can't make it as I'm in Mozambique.

Dammit I'm going through a new job and interviewing right now... next time! You guys have fun!

The NYC BlackBerry community is more passionate than Canada itself. Put your money where it counts! We rival dubai!
I think a lot of canadians are still very passionate about BlackBerry I still know people that want nothing but BlackBerry. Myself included . Although I am guilty of being s device hoarder. So I'm typing this on a lg g5. No Canadian city can rival NYC purely because we don't have the population. But I know in Ottawa BlackBerry still has a very strong presence. Same can be said in Vancouver. Hop on any Vancouver subway car and watch the BlackBerry devices get pulled out .
How about you work on getting NYC people excited. Then the spill over into Canada can take care of your reduced population. Seriously, no one here knows BlackBerry is a Canadian company! No one cares!
The faithful NYC BlackBerry users are probably the only consumer demographic that matters outside of dubai.
Lol no one city is that important to a company like BlackBerry, they need mass appeal in more than one market. Let me guess , NYC is the best place in the world? They have wallstreet so they are all powerful ? It's just one city . That's all it will ever be.
BC Canada is BlackBerry country. I went up to a wedding near Vancouver BC and there I was sitting at a table with 8 people or so during a casual meal before the event and suddenly I realized there were 3 or 4 BlackBerry phones on the table including mine. Then later I was with at an after party and people were comparing their BlackBerrys. I am used to being the only one that has one.
Dubai represent over here! Nyc not yet in Dubai level atleast when it comes to BlackBerry support/fans! :p
Kevin, you have a responsibility to the community than made you!
We need more stuff like this in NYC! I want to drink with bla1ze and kevin!
You know I love me my NCY Meetups. Will definitely have to try and make one happen. The last couple there were awesome!
The one million dolars question Kevin, are you staying in crackberry for good or Just a few momments and go back to apple?

I've already answered that question like 19x in the past 3 days. Tired of answering it. Let me write up a proper answer once on a forum thread or something, and then I can just link back to it all the time. But TL;DR, gonna be CBK! February I cleared my calendar so I can really go all in the site. I have a LOT of other responsibilities I have to commit too, so will maybe be a little less intensive come March, but will make sure I'm contributing regularly, Really want to see BB not only survive, but thrive, and with the new energy and team in BlackBerry Mobile I'm more excited than I've been in years.
Thats the Kevin we want to see here, this is the time of comebacks i see, Resident Evil did with Biohazard 7, Nokia Will do with the New Android line, blackberry Will do with Mercury, that you and company are there again makes me think that these Will be good times for BlackBerry

Don't forget Nintendo with the Nintendo Classic! Nostalgia factor BIG in 2017. Especially given our... um.. current political climate where things are a little messy/uncertain, people like to think back to the good 'ole days!
I would put a $100 price tag on that question. No question is worth 1 mil, definitely.
Its Interesting to see him coming back for the Mercury. One would've thought such comeback would happen with the Priv because of going Android for the first time and all. Also, since this one has some TCL DNA in it, not like the Priv which is 100% BlackBerry, but ehhh such nonsense doesn't matter.
You know what they say: "What happens in Barcelona...
...sure as heck better get posted on the CB blogs!!" ;)
Hmm.... we definitely could fire up some Facebook Livestreams or Periscopes or something like that. Good call!
This would be great.
Some of us would need to be able to watch it later due to work obligations.
If only I was in Barcelona lol . Sounds like a good time
I'm green with envy. Have fun!
Kevin this is awesome! Living in MADRID but plan on going. Hope to see the CrackBerry team there.
Hasta pronto amigos!

Awesome! Can't wait
Amazing times! Jsut booked my hotel and have bullet train ticket from Madrid!
Looking so forward to meeting you and CrackBerry team!
Viva la Fiesta in Barcelona!

Where is the Toronto launch party? Or how about one in Jamaica?
It's early in the year.... CrackBerry World Tour would be a pretty fun thing to shoot for!
Come down to South Florida and enjoy the beaches!!

Paris is welcoming CB team and members anytime!
If you happen to be in Barcelona. . .
Yes, I frequent often lol.
Joking aside, very cool of you guys to have an event for your fans!
Posted via CB10
It's gonna be a special day!! Hey Kevin your paying my flight?
Posted via CB10
I think CB needs to have a contest for a free round-trip ticket to BCN from anywhere in the world, and luxury accommodations with a choice of new devices. :)
They did. Bla1se won ! Lol but seriously would be a sweet event to attend.
I am willing to sleep in the streets, just need airline tickets, lol.

I'd ask for the 4 star hotel and find my own way there.
I'm thinking about it. Barcelona is just 350 km (200 miles) away from Valencia where I live
Posted with my Z30
Thank God I'm only at 20 miles from there. I will definitely apply to attend.
Go Crackberry!!
