i want that phonne that bad !!!

Came out of the dark ages when I got my Curve on Ebay,

The Bold 9700 is thin, light, and cool in so many ways.

I'd love to have it, for it to actually be MINE,

With it's liquid graphics and sleek design!

My fingers are crossed that it will be ME,

If not, I'll carry on with my curve as happy as can be!

Kevin - my son is the biggest blackberry fan you will ever hear about. He has a collection of old ones and he is currently using a Storm but dreams about having a 9700 to replace it. Kevin - if you can make his dream come true - it would be greatly appreciated

I love this phone, the blackberry torch reminds me of those old phones back then. The huge phones that way like 3 to 5 pounds and now we have phones like this its awesome.

I have never had a phone before and my brother has a blackberry bold 9700 and I use it but he doesn't like me using so I think its time I get a phone,(a blackberry smart phone) and just wondering if I could get this one,
thanks.

I would love to win your Bold, so pick me!

i really need a phone my phone brokke down and i have no money right now

i really need a phone my phone brokke down and i have no money right now

I'm a newly joined member of crackberry.com and ive got a pretty good insight to blackberries. But i have a confession - i have NEVER owned a blackberry. I decided to comment because I thought it would be brilliant if i had a blackberry to start off my uni days with. For once maybe a phone can get me more organized? And I know it would make a great substitute from my old nokia which looks like its going to retire hurt soon :( I hope you pick me! The 9700 looks like a good, reliable phone :)

I love Blackberry's but cannot afford to buy one, so i have a poor imitation in the form of a Nokia e71x? but it really doesn't measure up, i would love and cherish your sexy bold and even send you some pics to show what great care i'm taking of it, so please pick me, thanks buddy

.

When i was two, i won a jellybean-guessing contest. Lucky is my middle name. Kevin, your posts are what pushed me to buy a blackberry in the first place, and your contest is what pushed me to finally register here, keep up the good work homie.

I am new to the Blackberry and the Crackberry site (fabulous stuff here) and already would love to upgrade my Curve 8530. I would promise to love your BOLD and keep her clean and well used. I can't imagine having such a wonderful instrument to use for communication in today's world. My poor husband would be the recipiant of my much less CURVE but he needs to brought into the 21st century and this would allow us to both have Blackberry's (all those yours would certainly be the crown jewel of the family).Thank you so much for being so generous and for considering me as a possible unworthy recipiant. Thank you!

every weeks in monday morning there is one market for all things came from outside my country, and i went that to look if i can found something nice there, and i saw a cellphone without cover, and i took it, i got it blackberry pearl, i asked that guy: how much this cell? he said: 10 $ and i said: it is to much because without cover, hum he said tell how much you can pay? i said i can pay 5$, he said give me, i bought blackberry pearl, i was very happy but i dont knew if it is working or not, and i went to bought a charge and looking for cover and didnt found cover in everywher, and i back home and i put it in charge after i got it working good, after a few minutes some sms came to cell and the chip card of movistar still inside cellphone, and i let it, one day my cell rining i attend it and i got a woman, after she asked me, where are you from? i said i am from morocco and you? she said my oreginaly germany woman, but i am now in the south brazil, just i was very polit with her, and she asked me, where did you found that blackberry? i said to her all my reality, and she said to me, please there is some security in my txt(sms) inside that blackberry, please dont delete anything i need all my things if you can? i said yes its yours its ok, i can send it back to you no problem, and she said dont send, we changed our msn, and we continued talking we saw each others from webcam, one day she said to me i will come to visit you there, she came to me for 8 days and we were in a big love, and she invated me to visit her and right now i am in the trip with her in brazil, thank you very much blackberry,

iv never had a blackberry iv only seen them because some of my friends have a blackberry so because iv seen them in your videos iv never had a chance to see what a blackberry is really like so me winning a is like a dream to me so i would hope if you pick me please :)

If it is, I really want that Bold 9700 because I have the original, NOT so great, Pearl 8100. I really hate it, and want my Flip back, but it's up in heaven, resting in paradise. So I was really trying to find a deal in sites like Craigslist. I'm only 15 years old, so I can barely afford any legit phones, and my parents won't buy me a new phone until my contract expires (May of 2011), and I can't put up with this 8100 anymore! Please let me be the one to get the Bold 9700, it looks SO great in the vid and pics, and yes I was getting dizzy when you were flipping it around hahaha! Please choose me. Also I have a question. So you say it's unlocked, that means, no matter what, I can put my T-Mobile SIM Card in and it'll work?
Please answer if the contest is still going on. I live in Garden Grove, CA.

I love the 9700!

I would love this because I have millions reasons why !

Bellissimo !!
Fatemi vincere a me, qui a Roma Italia.
Love Crackberry.
Un Salutone
Pietro

Awesome, I want it.

Wow this is cool, my boyfriend sent me an email begging me for this phone. He loves you guys and everything you stand for! This would be the ultimate gift and maybe I will get a husband outta the deal! LOL

I would like to win the 9700 bold because it is a great device the range more RIM high and I would be happy ^ ^... well a bold means innovation, style and functionality that makes its high performance life easier me in the University and the study because the tools that have the blackberry are at the forefront and with one like this experience to search the Internet, receive emails, serious chat great!... THX for the opportunity :D

(verse 1)
i remember the first time i saw you,
i remember the date and the time
i remember how much i drooled for you
and for you ill commit any crime.

(bridge)
but you were out of my league
and you'd never put eyes on me
no matter how hard i try
you wouldnt care ii i cried.... if i cried

(chorus)
but i dont care...
no, no.. i dont mind...
oh, oh
your the one i want, your the one i need.
you are...the phone of my dreams, the phone of my dreams

i cant wait to have you with me
we'll surf the web the whole day
i promise ill play with your track pad
i dont care what nobody says
(bridge 2)
and i, i swear ill buy you a case,
and i, i swear you'll get your own place,
your keyboard ill clean
if you know what i mean
just give me a chance, just take my hand, just come with me....

(chorus 2x)

ps. i added music to it so let me know if you want to hear it!!!! pick me:)

LBGonzo

as being a satisfied storm user, no question what would I like to give to my girlfriend for birthday next Saturday, on the 29th of May. She's a big a facebook and gtalk fan and addicted to full keypad phones, especially bold 9700, so I just give a try.

Good luck to everyone! :)

Would love to win this version - I have a friend who would absolutely love it.

Why i want this phone model?

Said in developers conference by a speaker, it's the best blackberry out there...

I started with a Storm device wich i still love, bigger screen, better UI (some times), but when i go to connectivity i don't think there's a better phone like this one.

I'm in love with the Bold2, good design, good keyboard, nice connectivity, with 3G in my operator, and a very good processor that runs any app installed no matter how heavy can it be (at least the one i tested)...

I wan to win... because i love this device... until comes out 9800???? xD, don't know we'll se there but it will come out i believe very expensive, and in my situation i have no dolars to spend for this phone...

So i do want to win!

I have become a HUGE FAN of Crackberry.com! I am serious when I say I don't know what I would do without all the help your site has given to me. I am a fairly new BB owner of the Tour and had NO CLUE on how any of this worked. A friend told me about your site and I am at it almost every day learning something new! When I learn something new I always share it with my other Crackberry friends who are new to the BB World also. I would LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to win this! I have NEVER won anything in my life ~ Please MAKE MY DAY!Thanks for all the help you have given to me! Love your site! Sue in Georgia

I would not change a thing on it. When not in use it would sit on a pedestal on my mantel for all to admire.

I couldn't find my Post. what happen to my post on Friday? I'm Doing it again. I'm making it short and sweet. I want your BB 9700 phone, would you autograph it also? I had so many problems with my 8900. The track-pad was the best change Rim ever made. Please pick me. Keep up the good work. In pain. Jeff

Kevins rocking a new beauty, a gorgeous BB bold 9700 in white, If only i could get his black 9700, as im a huge fan of his website

I spend hours on CrackBerry.com, both on my Berry and on the pc,
but theres alot of fantastic competition out there,so winning aint gonna be easy

I could go on and on, Kevin, but I know you would rather be in white BlackBerry Heaven
So u can now announce the winner of your legendary black 9700....its me B_Berry77

but i cant afford to buy the device. :(

send some love.

Enjoy your new white BOLD! Hope you love it as much as the old one that will soon go to some lucky person on here!

Good luck everyone! :)

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo CrackBerry!

Since initially purchasing my 8830 and entering into the "CrackBerry" world I have never looked back. Soon after I purchased the 8330 for the camera among other features. Looking to have the latest and greatest in OS's, apps, etc. I was browsing the web and happened to stumble across CrackBerry.com

Well...after coming across this site I think we all know what happens haha. CrackBerry loyalist.

meow meow meow ima kitty kat :3.

Ohh and kev I have a storm 1 and we both know its just terrible. So yeah an actual functioning blackberry would be aweeesommme.

Kevin! For me, Blackberry devices are more than devices, they are simply my friends and You has a "Nice Friend"! And I want to make friend with her! :D

i'm from Malaysia. i'm eager to win this BB9700 phone bcos of the limited supplies of BB in MY. Pick me! pick me! it will a blessing :D

I've been drooling over the Bold since I heard about it. I'm currently stuck using an original storm from Dec 10 2008 on Telus! I've never traded in it or had it swapped for defects even with the dust behind the screen and the flaky buttons. I've still loved the experience-I've put it through it's paces more then anyone else I know. I wouldn't know what todo without my blackberry to keep me company throughout the day. I work in an environment that is extremely sheltered socially so having my BB keeps me in entertained and in touch.

As a Canadian, I hate these three year contracts that they force us into and I'd love to go no-contract on the newer HSPA networks, but there's no way I can do that without shelling out a ridiculous amount of cash to upgrade and that just isn't an option! You've all heard this story before, just throwing out another cry...

The Bold 9700 is the ultimate blackberry, and I'd lover to return to a real keyboard even if I make do with my storm!

I think that it's quite generous of you to giveaway your 9700 to the Crackberry Nation- time and time again, you keep showing us that no other Blackberry blog/forum followers are as lucky as we are!

That's what it would be to own this Bold! I'm still rockin' a black Pearl and loving it but am long overdue for an upgrade. It would be so much easier to convert non-BB users and have them join the CrackBerry Nation with such a device!!

Recently the provinces of Saskatchewan,Alberta and British Columbia signed an agreement to foster trade between them. Yet Manitoba wasn't a participant.

Now as a resident of Saskatchewan and an employee of a freight company I know firsthand the limited trade between our two provinces. I've always wondered why this has been the case.

Is it an offshoot of the rivalry between the RoughRiders and Blue Bombers? Is it lingering animosity over Winnipeg getting the Jets while Saskatoon was blocked from getting the Blues? Perhaps we'll never know but if you sent me your old 9700 we could start a new chapter in the history of our provinces.

You must also ask yourself, do you really want to ship your BlackBerry away to an unfamiliar climate? Where else but Saskatchewan would be familiar to your phone? We share not only the same harsh winters but the stifling summer. I feel that in my hands your phone would feel as if nothing has changed.

Finally, on the first of July, Sasktel will be turning on their brand new HSPA network. Wouldn't you be happy knowing that your phone will have a clean system on which to roam?

Choose me Kevin, make a Bold statement for your phone, for trade, for Canada.

I really envy the 3G feature and new touch-pad that is not present on my current blackberry. I would love to win this!! Crackberry rocks!

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 Crackberry!

My wife wants my bold in a bad way. I have to keep taking it away from her each time I want to check messages or make a call. I have to pry it from her hands to get it away from her. She has an 8520, but neglects it if my Bold is around. She does have one gripe about my Bold.....It's not white!...I just want my Bold back.

Oh, My Curve
How I lusted after your shiny case
lovingly caressed your smooth face
Spent hours reading the news
However now all I have is the blues

Hourglass, little hourglass
How I hate you
How I loathe you
You are the harbinger of death
No worse, a reset

Ten minutes to wait
A white screen all I see
Twiddling my thumbs
HOW CAN THIS BE?!?

I have deleted files
Emptied cache
As the OS compiles
I sit on my...
Aspirin I need to heal this great wound
Crackberry, sweet Crackberry
Catch me as I swoon

I logon to Crackeberry
And what do I see?
I could win a new Blackberry
A new Blackberry for me

The winner is random and I may not win
Help me say goodbye to the hourglass
And be "productive" again

Crackberry, pick me, pick me please
I ask you, I implore you, do not tease

Crackberry I ask you once again
Pick me, pick me and I'll wear a huge grin

I'm a tour owner. My first BB. I would luv to try out ur Bold. It'll go to a mice home. I take care of my phones :)

Hey winning this would be great cause it feels great to win stuff....and what a great BB it is

I shall take your pathetic BlackBerry and nurture it. Fill it with many apps. Load it with many ringones and many files. It will grow while under my use and supervision. It will be the greatest and most powerful of all BlackBerry's in the WORLD!!!

P.S.
Seriously tho, I could really use another BB because my Tour 9630 keeps giving me trouble with the tracking ball. Btw, keep up the good work with this site. CrackBerry RULES!!!

This truth is, I currently have a bold and it's great. If I was luck enough to win this, I'd give it to my father. He'd be very happy, it would be a nice gift for him. He deserves much more but this would be a nice start...

I want to win the 9700 b/c I currently have an 8320....yes an old 8320. I love app world and would one day love to download apps without having to erase other apps due to only having 64mb of memory. I love my curve. We've been through a lot together - surviving a plunge in the toilet, having to take my trackball out when using the phone to keep from losing it b/c the cover to hold it in broke, and most recently the casing for the screen came off - but I really need an upgrade. So please Kevin, pick me.

PS I love BlackBerry so much I bought a black bear hamster and named him BlackBearry.

This is something nice your doing Kevin. Thanks a lot and good luck to the SPECIAL winner out there! :D

Di an chuoi de! ahahahahahahah

Because I've leant a lot since I've been a crackberry member and I've never won anything yet so I would really be happy if I won this especially since I have Bold 9000 with a screwed up trackball it won't let me scroll up. I know I can replace it but I can't open the housing because two of the screws are worn out so i'll be stuck with this device for another two years with this messed up trackball unless I win this device. I've also tried getting it replaced by Rogers but unfortunately they told me that I have to have an account with them but I can't make one since i'm a Fido subscriber and two separate phone bills won't be the smartest idea to go with :/

Bring it on. I need all the help I can get. Being technically challenged, maybe what you have on your phone will teach me how to do more ona Blackberry.
Thanks

to become the caretaker of Crackberry Kevin's 9700 Bold. I am currently sporting a company provided Bold 9000 and due to policy I am not able to upgrade yet and I really like the Bold 9700 when our first one came in. I believe that the 9700 Bold is a great device.

... I have a glass case sitting in my family room. I will put CB Kevin's Blackberry in there so that anyone who visits will see it. I will envy it sitting there and bow to it every time I walk by it. Aww.. heck.. I just kidding... I would like the win. Thanks CrackBerry!

A new BB would most definitely help both my family and I out BIG TIME! My mom's Storm is on the fritz and she's about to throw it under her car and run over it 94821 times. I would love to use the 9700 and let her use my 9630. For how much I use my BB on a daily basis, it would be amazing to be able to use this device for my BB love and spread the good word of all BB.

Anyways, thanks Kevin for the opportunity to rock your old 9700.

Later, Blake

...into my collective! Keep the gold plating, diamond encrusted $250K Bolds. I want Kevin's Bold!!

Resistance is futile

as i type this im getting ready to watch the series finale of LOST. winning a new phone would probably ease the pain of losing the best show on tv.

WWJO?... what would jesus own? a blackberry 9700, that's what... as would i... great contest by the way... someone's going to be lucky and stylin' just as jesus would be... hopefully it's me

;)

Ok. So I think the bold would be a nice upgrade from my storm 2. Don't worry kevin I will give your BB the TLC it deserves:)

Well, firstly thank you for the chance to win a Blackberry 9700. I have to admit that i was a blackberry hater because the "boom" of the cellphone it self. Got not something special nor features that i could fell tempted to buy for. But, one day my brother gave me a BB 8100 as a gift and after a few days i LOVED IT. Now I'm a very active BB Fan that always see the news,events,betas,pictures where ever i could find and got hooked up here. This is the best site not only because of the invaluable information you guys provide and hard work but for the opportunities you made for the public,fans,readers etc.

I want to thank you again and hope i can win. Thankyou CrackBery.com

Im stuck with my 8900 until this time next year, don't get me wrong she's served me well, but shes's looking tired and worst for wear now and needs to retire gracefully.
I would love a 9700 crackBery bold it's the only fitting replacement, anything less would be an insult...

I live in Mexico city and we always get the new models a few years after everybody else. I could change my 8310,
Thanks!

Just its the perfect blackberry have ever been created around the world.

Perfect design
Perfections is the real name for this one

The Choosen one Blackberry . I want it.

Send it my way. I can toss my winmo device (have bb for work only)

I'm stuck in a 2 year contract with about a year remaining from originally buying a voyager. Two weeks after buying the voyager I discovered Crackberry and fell in love with everything and anything blackberry. 6 months later my friend decided to switch from a 8330 to an iPhone and of course I decided to jump on that opportunity. At first I thought that his lost was my gain in every way possible, UNTIL my microphone died. Now I can't make or take calls and forced to use only text and email. What sucks the most is the fact I gave the voyager to my dad so I don't have a phone to switch back or get an replacement because the BB is not the phone originally on the contract. Help me out Kevin and CB! Winning this phone will help me out greatly. Thanks

Would love the device so I could download movies and other features for my job instead of Dvd's. (Teacher)

Simply - Why Not!!!

i would love to win this blackberry 9700, i could really use this phone because though i am fairly new to blackberry use i can't get enough there is always something new that i find out i can do with my blackberry. this phone would be perfect for me because i currently have the first BB storm and though it has been good to me i found out that im not really big on the touch screen and would love to go back to the full keyboard. i also would love this phone because i love the fact that is 3g and wifi which i do not have have either of those features on my current unlocked BB storm. i am in the middle of my contract now and would have to pay full price if i wanted to get a 9700 which is way to much to pay right now. so if i could win this phone it would be an awesome and also very helpful so hopefully you will pick me to be the next care taker of your 9700, so ill just post my address so you know where to send it haha thanks

i would love to get my hands on this phone as everyone i know has one but me :( but i just can't afford it so would happily like to win this one :)

I would love to win this Blackberry, because that means I could give my mom her first ever mobile phone!

That is why you should suggest you select me from the other 4000+ comments.

Thanks CB!

I want this so badly!

man winning this would b sweet...only thing better then one bold 9700 would be 2 9700s! and the crackberry masters old one....even sweeter!

I would like to apologize for all my comments- I only skimmed to rules! I just READ it! And I would like to wish all the participants "good luck!"

I would like to apologize for all my comments- I only skimmed to rules! I just READ it! And I would like to wish all the participants "good luck!"

I've been an Iphone user for so long and i just sold it 2 months ago because i needed the money for extra income in school. Now i use a dreaded Nokia 1661, a Blackerry 9700 will be so awesome because i do need it for my everyday social networking and studies. And yeah im Canadian eh!

I can hardly believe you're just going to give away your beautiful device. All of you Crackberry staffers are just so amazing. You do a great job on the website and now this? Its so fantastic. I would absolutely be thrilled to win. I'm a suffering Tour user and I just can't afford to buy a different phone. The gummy, often non-responsive track ball and the browser click issues are driving me batty. It was the top of the line BB when I upgraded to it, but its just a big pain sometimes. I originally bought the Storm 1 (my first ever BB) an that phone was an abomination. The screen quit working the top left corner and I didn't actually receive calls (no missed call reminder, nothing. The only way I'd know if someone had called me is if they left a voicemail. It was beyond frustrating) I went through 4 of them before I couldn't take it anymore. The phones just don't work. I paid full price for this Tour thinking it'd be the answer to my prayer, and for a while it was. But now that the trackball is failing and the new Verizon upgrade .591 came with memory leaks and browser click issues, I just don't know what to do. I don't have $500 for another new phone, and I can't download other OS upgrade because I don't have a computer (that's why I got the BB in the first place) so I can only do OTA upgrades. Winning your lovely Bold would be a Godsend for me right now, I just don't have any luck with phones and having one that works the way it should would be such a relief and a very welcome change. Please consider me when deciding who will win. Thanks so much.

how will i know when the com. is done? and when i wil?!?!?!?!!

Omg this seriously is sad...

Month One.

Hi Mommy!
I am only 3/4 of an inch long,
But I have all my organs.
I love the sound of your voice.
Every time I hear it,
I wave my arms and legs.
The sound of your heart beat
Is my favorite lullaby.

Month Two.

Mommy,
Today I learned how to suck my thumb.
If you could see me
You could definitely tell that I am a baby.
I'm not big enough to survive outside my home though.
It is so nice and warm in here.

Month Three.

You know what Mommy,
I'm a boy!
I hope that makes you happy.
I always want you to be happy.
I don't like it when you cry.
You sound so sad.
It makes me sad too,
And I cry with you even though
You can't hear me.

Month Four.

Mommy,
My hair is starting to grow.
It is very short and fine
But I will have a lot of it.
I spend a lot of my time exercising.
I can turn my head and curl my fingers and toes
And stretch my arms and legs.
I am becoming quite good at it too.

Month Five.

You went to the doctor today.
Mommy, he lied to you.
He said that I'm not a baby.
I am a baby, Mommy, your baby.
I think and feel.
Mommy, what's abortion?

Month Six.

I can hear that doctor again.
I don't like him.
He seems cold and heartless.
Something is intruding my home.
The doctor called it a needle.
Mommy what is it? It burns!
Please make him stop!
I can't get away from it!
Mommy! Help me!

Month Seven.

Mommy,
I am okay.
I am in Jesus's arms.
He is holding me.
He told me about abortion.
Why didn't you want me, Mommy?

Every abortion is just...

One more heart that was stopped.
Two more eyes that will never see.
Two more hands that will never touch.
Two more legs that will never run.
One more mouth that will never speak.

If you're against abortion, repost.

IF U PICK, DO NOT THINK I WILL CEEP IT! MY MOM HAS BEEN IN-LOVE WITH BB BOLD EVERSCENCE THEY CAME OUT! I WILL GIVE IT TOO HER! EVENTHOUGH I LOVE IT MY SELF AND STUCK WITH PEARL 8100! I HATE IT! BUT "I" CAN AFORD TO CHANGE IT (AFTER THE 2 YEAR CONTRACT) MY MOM IS NOT SO LUCKY THOUGH! :( - ps. i am dislecsick! that is y the spelling is not good!

beautiful phone and i got super excited to be able to win it but.. i don't think it would work with my verizon network? :-( boo hoo. i'd switch companies for a free Bold. ;-)

I LOVE U GUYS SO MUCH! THANK U FOR DOING THESE THINGS FOR YOU VIEWERS I CAN ONLY SPEEK FOR MYSELF BUT I THINK WE ALL LOVE IT! U ROCK! PLEZ PCK ME!

I would LOVE to have this device! This would be extra special because it's Kevin's own CrackBerry! Excellent prize from CrackBerry.com, as always!

i love the 9700

Hey Kevin, I think I really need your BlackBerry. I've been trying to get one since my girlfriend bought hers and so I tried.. I bought one on eBay and it never arrived so I tried to get another one that arrived except that I didn't received a 9700, i received a beautiful 7230 and paid 350$ for it. Please, please give it to me! And if you don't I would still love a sticker for my (350$!!!!) 7230!! Thanks! PS This website is great, I never registered before but I really enjoy reading you from Italy! And it seems to me guys that you're like a family at crackberry! Congrats on all this! Good luck to all you and I hope you make the best choice!

I Have A BB 7290 I would love to have that new blackberry 9700
because my phone screen just started to crack and I missing 6 keys so I have to be careful of what I text on my old Phone. Since Blackberry has discounted my phone, I have been having troubles getting it serviced. I can Only Get 1 hour of talk time on one charge, the calls have started to drop because my phone going into hibernating mode. Despite Rogers claiming they have a crystal clear and ultra reliable network, I am unable to use the network as should be due to persisting dropped calls and fuzzy call quality coming from the 7290.

Use Viigo multiple times a day just in hopes of catching some hot new apps or to read the latest on BBOS 6. When I get home, or if enough free time while at work, will journey over to the official site and go to the forums to see if anything new has happened under the table, like any new betas or other goodies. Not sure if I'm a CB junkie of ADHD. Either way love BB's and CB.com.

It would be great to win this phone and call it my own. I have a tour and would like to see how life can be with a bold.

I would love to be the new owner of this blackberry. first that this team has seen a great experience. second that has been a great owner and I won it so he would do to have such wonderful experiences as with its first owner. thirdly because it is one of the teams most wonderful family blackberry that are available and the device could do anything I could imagine. This contest is great luck to all and let the best win

My 8900 GPS went kaboom!

Women and gadgets drive men crazy. Owing the best of both makes them feel at the top of this world. Blackberry has the ultimate technology in the mobile field. I wish to see gleam of elation in my fiance's eyes for being the proud owner of the best of these two.

Wish to present him Blackberry Bold 9700 on 13th June'10, the day we complete 25 months of our commitment.

Could only dream of gettin one of those phones handed to me just like that, I'm usually not a lucky guy, But I guess this ought to be my first time, You guys Rock!!!!

This is sweet would be awesome to win this thanks for the chance crackberry kevin and thanks for this awesome website

It's good of you to be giving your phone away (even if you are getting a new one).

I know the likelihood of my winning is very slim, but I did sit here and think of a good reason why should be the winner.

In all honesty, I'm just glad for the opportunity to try.

Win/lose, thanks for the contest and crackberry.com

I am addicted to crack, Crackberry that is! I love this web site and would be lost without it. I have a BB Bold 9000 and would love to update. My first blackberry was a Nextel i7520 or something. Then I had the Curve and the Pearl with Verizon. Also had the first Storm. I just opened my own business and signed up with AT&T and got a slider Samsung. About one month of that and I CRACKed. Went on craigslist and found this BB Bold 9000, it is great and I think I will stick with the Bold family from now on. I would really like to get yours if you would be so kind. Thank you

Great to see Crackberry taking great care of its readers! It'd be great to win this blackberry, Been worken alot this year nd winning this BB would be the highlight of the year! haha.

I'm currently using a Blackberry Curve 8520 and an iPhone 3GS, though the latter is more for entertainment. I have been thinking about waiting for the new iPhone 4G but after seeing this fantastic giveaway I threw away all my doubts and seriously want to have a Blackberry Bold 9700 in my pocket! Just thinking about being able to possess it gets me drooling non-stop! Please help me!

P.S. I don't mind receiving the white Blackberry Bold 9700 if you can't get over the gap and the logo sticker on it :p

hai kevin. a blackberry bold 9700 would make me an extremely happy bunny due to the fact that i'm still using a nokia 3110c which is, i have heard, dated from the prehistoric era. so bit on that blackberryyyyy

Not all berries are blackberry....not all blackberrys are crackberry.....

But this CrackBerry Branded BlackBerry is all blackberrys.

Kevin...you are the man!

crack berry is a good site for blackberry users at first i wasn't always an blackberry user but when i got my first blackberry i came across this site called crack berry in favorite it cause it has every single thing you need to know about blackberry i even went back to the first blog this site posted and reed up to the current one im that interested

It would be awesome to win the 9700. No only would I have Kevins's 9700, but an official crackberry 9700. Then, when I'm out doin comp work, and need an inet connection, I could tether at 3g speeds rather than edge.

*crosses fingers*

As a BB/CB newcomer, I really had no idea the differences between the variety of devices. I chose the 8530 (which is better than many give credit for.) Now that I've had exposure to CB and the reviews and discussions, I see that I sold myself short. I'd gladly give my wife the 8530 (to replace her crappy Sumsung Excel) if I were able to replace it with that 9700!

Though I never to expect to win, I must say that your contests rock. Keep up the great work.

Thanks for being so nice Kevin and wanting to give away your old blackberry! I have had the storm1 and it has been driving me crazy since day one, and now giving me huge problems with data connection :( this would be a nice gift to upgrade to so i can take advantage of my data plan once again.

Thanks and good luck to all.

well her again sending as shout out to kevin to please pick me for the 9700...i serious would love to try out a blackberry for the first time..cant afford any here in Jamaica as they are too expensive...

Love waits for one thing, the right moment.

The fate of love is that it always seems too little or too much.

Wow a Bold 9700 would be great! I can't manage my 9000 anymore, as much as I love my screen and my keyboard and the size, my 11th track ball is killing me, I just always have a issue with them, always dirty so I get a black one, now its stuck:( I have over 10 shortcut buttons now since my trackball fails! NEED this 9700:d pick me

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength; loving someone deeply gives you courage

At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.

It takes a minute to have a crush on someone, an hour to like someone and a day to love someone but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

man this phone is the best i know its better than the 8520
only if i could afford it!! real talk.

hey kevin
id like to win your bold 9700. i love the site its been really helpful since i got a blackberry so i think it would be really cool to win your phone. i also really want a bold 9700 but dont have the cash for one, so hopefully this will change that!

One of my friends works in the customer service call center of a national pager company. There, he deals with the usual complaints regarding poor pager operation, as well as the occasional crank caller
demanding to be paged less often, more often, or by more interesting people.

The best call came from Bubba, who repeatedly complained that he keeps
being paged by "Lucille."

He was instructed that he would have to call her and tell her to stop paging him.

"She don't never leave no number, so I can't call her back," he said.

After three such calls, someone thought to ask how he knew it was Lucille if she didn't leave a number.

"She leaves her name," was the reply.

After establishing that the customer had a numeric-only pager, the light bulb came on.

"How does she spell her name?" the service rep asked.

"L-O-W C-E-L-L"

Another technical problem solved.

Addicted to Your Cell Phone? Tangled in a web of wireless? Maybe you should ask yourself these questions.

1. Do parts of your body tingle when you get free cell phone minutes?

2. Does raising your children interfere with programming your speed dial?

3. Do you have long-distance conversations while sitting on the toilet in a public restroom?

4. Does the term fashion statement mean to you matching your outfit with your cell phone carrying case?

5. When getting into a car accident, is your first response "Can you hold on a moment, I’m hemorrhaging?"

6. Does the sound of static trigger dark memories of ill-fated connections?

7. Do you use the menu light as your night light?

8. Does it take you an hour on a regular phone to get the same feeling of a five-minute cellular call?

9. When receiving a phone call, do you ever ask the film projectionist to lower the volume of the movie?

Q: How do cells communicate?

A: By cell phone!

A guy (we'll call him Aaron) was laying down carpet in some woman's home.

As he was finishing, he got a craving for a cigarette.

Aaron looked around and discovered that his cigarettes were missing.

He did, however, notice a bump in the carpet and figured that he had laid carpet over the pack without noticing it there.

Aaron decided rather than to take up the carpet, he would get a hammer and pound it into the ground so no one would know.

When he finished that, the owner of the house walked into the room and commented on what a nice job he had done.

"Aaron, The carpet looks wonderful!" she exclaimed. "Here are your cigarettes; I found them in the kitchen. Oh yes, by the way, have you seen my cellphone?"

A young man wanted to get his beautiful blonde wife something nice for their first wedding anniversary. So he decides to buy her a cell phone. She is all excited, she loves her phone and he explains all the features on the phone.

The next day, the blonde goes shopping. Her phone rings and it's her husband:

"Hi honey", he says "how do you like your new phone?"

And she replies:

"I just love it, it's so small and your voice is clear as a bell but there's one thing I don't understand though".

"What's that, baby?," asks the husband.

"How did you know I was at Wal Mart?"

I tell you, women drivers are a hazard to traffic. Driving to work this morning on the freeway, I looked over to my left and there was a woman in a Mustang doing 65 miles per hour with her face up next to her rear view mirror putting on her eyeliner!

I looked away for a couple seconds and when I looked back she was halfway over in my lane.

It scared me so bad I dropped my electric shaver in my coffee, and it spilled all over my cell phone!

Several men are in the locker room of a private club after exercising. Suddenly a cell phone on one of the benches rings. A man picks it up and the following conversation ensues:

"Hello?"

"Honey, It's me."

"Sugar!"

"Are you at the club?"

"Yes."

"Great! I'm at the mall 2 blocks from where you are. I saw a beautiful mink coat. It is absolutely gorgeous! Can I buy it?"

"What's the price?"

"Only $1,500."

"Well, okay, go ahead and get it, if you like it that much."

"Ahhh, and I also stopped by the Mercedes dealership and saw the 2002 models. I saw one I really liked. I spoke with the salesman and he gave me a really good price ... and since we need to exchange the BMW that we bought last year..."

"What price did he quote you?"

"Only $60,000!"

"Okay, but for that price I want it with all the options."

"Great! Before we hang up, something else..."

"What?"

"It might seem like a lot, but I was reconciling your bank account and...well, I stopped by to see the real estate agent this morning and I saw the house we had looked at last year. It's on sale! Remember? The one with a pool, English garden, acre of park area, beachfront property..."

"How much are they asking?"

"Only $450,000... a magnificent price, and I see that we have that much in the bank to cover..."

"Well, then go ahead and buy it, but just bid $420,000, OK?"

"Okay, sweetie. Thanks! I'll see you later!! I love you!!!"

"Bye."

The man hangs up, closes the phone's flap and asks aloud, "Does anyone know to whom this phone belongs?"

Leaving Minnesota for Colorado, I decide to make a stop at one of those rest areas on the side of the road. I go in the washroom. The first stall was taken so I went in the second stall. I just sat down when I hear a voice from the next stall...

- "Hi there, how is it going?"

Okay, I am not the type to strike conversations with strangers in washrooms on the side of the road. I didn't know what to say so finally I say:

- "Not bad..."

Then the voice says:

- "So, what are you doing?"

I am starting to find that a bit weird, but I say:

- "Well, I'm going back to Colorado..."

Then I hear the person say all flustered:

- "Look I'll call you back, every time I ask you a question this idiot in the next stall keeps answering me."

Why computers should be considered masculine:

1. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on.

2. They have a lot of data but are still clueless.

3. They are supposed to help you solve your problems, but half the time they ARE the problem.

4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that, if you had waited a little longer, you could have had a better model.

Why computers should be feminine:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic.

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.

3. Even your smallest mistakes are stored in long-term memory for later retrieval.

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.

Listen here, sir. Crackberry Kevin is a good lookin' guy, so, you know, his phone MUST be just as good lookin' as he is!

Also, my dog ate my Tour and I'd totally love a better looking Blackberry :(

A young woman teacher with obvious liberal tendencies explains to her class of small children that she is an atheist. She asks her class if they are atheists too. Not really knowing what atheism is but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like fleshy fireworks.

There is, however, one exception. A beautiful girl named Lucy has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks her why she has decided to be different.

"Because I'm not an atheist."

Then, asks the teacher, "What are you?"

"I'm a Christian."

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Lucy why she is a Christian.

"Well, I was brought up knowing and loving Jesus. My mom is a Christian, and my dad is a Christian, so I am a Christian."

The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly.

"What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?"

She paused, and smiled. "Then," says Lucy, "I'd be an atheist."

Great Directions here for a real clean toilet!!! easy too!!!!

1. Lift both lids on your toilet bowl and add a couple of capfuls of shampoo to the water.

2. Go to the other room where the cat is sleeping, pick it up and soothe it while you carry it towards the bathroom.

3. In one smooth movement, put the cat in the toilet and close both lids (You may need to stand on the lid, afterwards). The cat will self agitate and make ample suds.
(Never mind the noises that come from the toilet, the cat is actually enjoying this.)

4. Flush the toilet three or four times.
(This provides a "power-wash" and "rinse")

5. Have someone open the closest door to the outside (Be sure that no one is between the toilet and the outside door.)

6. Stand behind the toilet as far as you can, and quickly lift both lids.

7. The cat will rocket out of the toilet and run outside where it will dry itself. After this procedure, both the toilet and the cat will be sparkling clean!

Sincerely,
The Dog

Q: Why does it get hot after baseball game?

A: Because all the fans leave!

If the enemy is in range, so are you.

Incoming fire has the right of way.

Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.

There is always a way.

The easy way is always mined.

Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.

Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.

The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: a. When you're ready for them. b. When you're not ready for them.

Teamwork is essential, it gives them someone else to shoot at.

If you can't remember, the claymore is pointed at you.

The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.

A "sucking chest wound" is natures way of telling you to slow down.

If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.

Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.

Anything you do can get you shot, including nothing.

Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.

Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.

If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in a combat zone.

When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.

Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.

A number twelve walks into a bar and asks the barman for a pint of beer.

"Sorry I can't serve you," states the barman.

"Why not?!" asks the number twelve with anger showing in its voice.

"You're under 18," replies the barman.

A couple was going out for the evening. The last thing they did was to put the cat out.

The taxi arrived, and as the couple walked out of the house, the cat shoots back in. So the husband goes back inside to chase it out.

The wife, not wanting it known that the house would be empty, explained to the taxi driver "He's just going upstairs to say goodbye to my mother."

A few minutes later, the husband got into the taxi and said, "Sorry I took so long, the stupid thing was hiding under the bed and I had to poke her with a coat hanger to get her to come out!"

There were two blondes going to California for the summer, they are about two hours into the flight and the pilot gets on the intercom and says we just lost an engine but it is all right we have three more but it will take us an hour longer.

A half hour later he gets on the intercom again and says we just lost another engine but its all right we have two more it will take us another half hour though.

One of the blondes says, "If we lose the two last engines we will be up here all day"

Hook me up with this crackberry so I can become a crack addict and start snorting away. If you could also include the PIN for the nearest rehab facility, I'd appreciate it. :)

Your 9700 would be an awesome upgrade for me. I am currently stuck with a 9530 until next June (Verizon contract) and while I really like this phone, you know the app memory sucks and I won't be getting any 6.0 love next quarter. Please help me stay current. Thanks for the opportunity!

I like to have your BB only if you don't delete photos of that babe on the NSFF... which you posted the other day...
I am sure you have some uncensored pics there...lol

Cheers ;)

Well this would be an easy way to make my wife happy, she loves my 9700 but is stuck with her 8900 for another 8 months.

I was orginally thinking that I would be upgrading(I got my 9700 from frys as a replacement for my broken 9000) to the slider and handing this phone down till she hit her upgrade.

So this will be better in the end if I win!

What great give away Kev! this would be enough to help anyone, newbie or not, on their way to becoming a crackberry abuser! (still by treating your 9700 with care of course)Much love from the U.K , thanks for making the BB experince that much more enjoyable, i'd love to win, all the best.

like to win please

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

would love this BB because I would give it to my mom. She wants a blackberry and we decided on the 9700. I have it so I can teach her. Plus 9700 is great BB with a smokin camera, takes the best pictures.

I have been trying to upgrade to a blackberry for along time. But have had major bad luck with my current cellphone provider. I have a regular cellphone, and I am locked into my plan until the end of next year.
I had an HTC Touch prior to my current MOTO Razer, which I got myself into as a result of the constant failure of my Touch phone. And the carrier, agreed to give me a break. It was X-mas at the time, I was so annoid, and I thought I was doing myself a favor, by opting for my MOTO.
Which if not for my work, which requires a corporate email capable phone (Blackberry), I would have been contempt with it. But, I need to have the Bold for my work, and I am in a CATCH22; your help would certainly go along, long way. Especially, that my work, requires me to pay for it in my own.

Kevin, you are my secret rock star crush. How cool would it be if I win your 9700! I could give my 8900 to my husband and he would never know what I'm really holding in my hands every time I make a call, send a message, take his pic, or any of the hundreds of things I can do with my (your) device. ;)
Thanks for the opportunity!

Have a very loving session with one the other day. Will treat her like a wife.

You know you gotta pick me

Hello Kevin, hello Crackberry users,

please give me your Blackberry Bold. My Girlfriend is a fan of the Blackberry Bold and i'm a fan of crackberry.com.

Have a nice sunday!

Hey this is my first time on crackberry and I wanna try to win this since I don't win anything at all but I'm feeling lucky today........well I have 8900 curve right now and I'm enjoying it but it's not mine to keep because my phones screen had broken that's why I have the curve unfortunately when my phone gets fixed I have to give this back because its my aunty's old phone which she wants to sell......because she has no money and mum has no money to buy anything luxurious.....the only reason we have this phone is because she used to be a 'guru' at o2 so I wouldn't have this phone on my hands right now :).....so I'm looking forward to who wins (hopefully me) :) :D

So about 11 months ago, i mentioned to my wife that i wanted a blackberry, this being my first i put a lot of effort into researching which one i thought i wanted. Unfortunately for me, my wonderful wife took it upon herself to call AT&T and order me one, I ended up with a refurbished 8820. Now don't get me wrong I appreciate the the effort she put into calling and i LOVE my BB, however I have no camera, limited memory, and lets be honest, it's not the coolest BB around. So IMO i am very much i need of this phone! I love crackberry.com and am a frequent visitor and I definitely try to get all my friends on the wagon as well!!! SO PICK ME....PLEASE!!!!!

I work for an At&t dealer, as such we can't sell the iphone, so I have this pent up hatred of Apple for ruining my career. This, however, has allowed me to see the advantages of Blackberry, and I've had a 9k since January of 09'. I could not be happier, and I promise to give my 9k to someone deserving of it if I win kev's CB.

Plus, I entered the BGR contest for an ipad promising to go Daniel Tosh on it and take a 9 iron to it and record it on said ipad for all the world to enjoy/hate.

See: I'm Sean M. http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2010/04/03/apple-ipad-giveaway/comment-pa...

i've had a storm 9530 for about a year now, and I've been so envious of the 9700, since the day it launched i've been watching it astonish people with it's power and amazing design. If i had that 9700, i would have a new life... it :D

I bought my first blackberry (8900) last year and became obsessed with everything blackberry. Accessories, contests, themes, etc and I found your blackberry site to be the best out there!

Hope you choose me to win your blackberry, but not so I can keep it for myself, but so I can give it to my mom (who has never owned a blackberry before) so she can then be addicted to your site as well =D

I just want some of those stickers, screw the phone.

hey hey... that 9700 has my name all over it... damn... it feels just like it was mine and you took it? cuz i would totally be pimping it out with those CB logos all over...

thanks for the opportunity

Technology that is.

Current BB Curve held by duct tape :P. Simple can't let go. Would be great to have its big brother replace it, that too a beloved Crackberry branded.
Thanks for these amazing give outs.

That would be your signature in the congragulations letter which you would be sending to me along with your precious Blackberry 9700....

Since colllege, i bought my first Bold saving up my pocket money for years and finally bought it here in India... its too expensive and damn , there's no way to upgrade too!.

guess, this contest would be my ticket to get Bold 2 - 9700 from the Master of CB itself !..

Waitin for it !

I love my Storm but would definitely give it a break for the Bold. Ahhh, the quickness of typing on a physical keypad!

I dont have a blackberry but I want one so bad and I am broke ! I want to switch over and winning this would give me the opportunity to do that! Please help me out here.

Would really love to receive kevin's Blackberry. I have the original storm and been through 3 replacements. My contract is not up for another year. My storm has quit being responsvie from the touchscreen. I have since reverted back to my Motorola RAZR. Hell me Kevin...I'm going into Blackberry withdarawls!!!

My wife would love to be able to receive this gift as she has been using a Sanyo SCP - 4000 (the brick) since 1996. I just received a bold from work and can not beleive what these new smartphones can do. She can not stop playing with it after I come home from work, especialy since I was told about your site and exploring all the apps.

This phone looks like it would be 10 times better than my storm2.

My current Bold needs about 700 more numbers. 700 more free numbers.

The 9700 is a flagship handheld device. It has the lasest and fastest processor. Would love to get my hands on one of these bad boys!

You have made a very BOLD statement by putting your BB up for grabs.

I just gave up my 9700 for a Motorola Backflip. Sent it back to AT&T as a warranty exchange. Not until now do I realize that the Backflip is such CRAP and that I need my 'Berry back :(

Im koo koo for crackberry! I actually would be happy to just get those super cool stickers so i can paste them on the Iphone fan boys heads. I WON!!!!

I guess im getting tired of the touchscreen. It be nice to go back to a real physical keyboard. Good luck to the lucky winner.

It all started years and years ago. With a little one I like to call 7290, who had a caring sister he liked to call 8100. The fam extended roots all the way through to Big Cous 9000. Little 9700 will be welcomed home with open arms. The legacy continues, Kev.

What is the want to win? The want to win can be caused by many things. Could it be an outdated phone - maybe, could it be longing for something unique - maybe, oooorrrr maybe it could be from having a phone that can drive you crazy.
While I love my BB (Storm 1), it can be very annoying to have to reboot it every day so that it works - lol. Having had a BB
for a few years now, I have come to love it and rely on it.
There I do believe we have found my want to win, and I hope to win.
Thank-you for this consideration,
David E. Pildner

Although i don't currently own a blackberry product, i have been sold on getting one in the near future. It was this site that easily made that decision for me knowing that there is a huge community behind these products, The blackberry bold 9700 caught my eye ever since its release and i have been waiting for my old phone to expire to purchase one and your review of this product on the site made that decision easier.

I'm dying to get onto the HSPA network. I'm sick of the CDMA speed for browsing and downloading =(

Anyway, you guys rock.

Kev quick!! I need that bb9700 so I can group bbm all the pan flute bands in the country. The giant guinea pigs in halloween costumes are coming and the music of the pan flute people is our only defense!!! Crackberry Kev, do you country a service and send me that blackberry!!!

Kev-Star, you're frickin' awesome! That's really generous of you. I've been following Crackberry on mippin on my Nokia N95, that got misplaced, so I had to follow you on my Nokia N96 and install Mippin again! i had a Nokia N97 with Mippin already installed! Every morning and night I check out Crackberry's latest updates! Ya'll are truly the best :D It's like my own little ray of sunshine here ;)
Have fun with your white BB! You're gonna look sooo coool hehehe

Thank you for all the hard work you and the rest of the sweet team have done :)
It's much appreciated.
From your loyal follower, Kenny!

I currently have a storm 1 (not much of a storm) freezes all the time, resets by itself, non responsive and I really want a phone that works and looks as amazing as this phone. Pick me I need a new and great looking device to get me out of the misery of my current device. Please help!!!

this is too amazing!! your're really giving away your bold 9700!! that is super nice of you! i actually was just watching the unboxing of white one.. it was super nice.. i am also a huge fan of white blackberrys. well yes obviously i would love to be entered in this contest. i love the way the new bold looks. i happen to have th older model and it has been the best phone ever!! i could only imagine how the new bold is!!! well thank you for even reading this.. and GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!!!!! who ever wins tell us how it is!!!!

Nice, loved to have it, because in my country (Latvia), they are sold out from BITE/Vodafone, only way to get them is order from internet, but then it is more expensive. Hope to be the lucky owner :)

Annina: Monsieur Rick, what kind of a man is Captain Renault?
Rick: Oh, he's just like any other man, only more so.
-Casablanca

Just figured a simple casablanca quote could suffice for this giveaway! I am currently a college student in Southern California, struggling to afford this new phone! Just a simple guy looking for an awesome 9700 to get rid of my curve :)

pick me!

I'm sure you've enjoyed all those sob stories like I did. Funny how disaster strikes when something is up for grabs. Lol. AWKWARD! Anyway you white bold has made me a jealous monster. I'd love to take care of that black bold for you, plus I've always wanted a physical keyboard. Well good luck to everyone!!! Thanks for being so generous Kevin

Well since your gonna be getting your new 9700 Kevin, there would be no better person to put good use to your old 9700 than me considering I already spend more time with my BLACKBERRY than my own wife (oh and she lets in be known my blackberry is more important then her, but i gotta love a woman who understands my needs, LOL!!!)

my work just upgraded all of us to droids and i am extremly p*#$ed off. i miss my crackberry and this would ease my pain of going through withdrawls.

First of all I did not become an avid BlackBerry fan very easily. I never wanted a BlackBerry at all. But, when it came time for me to upgrade I decided to examine the BlackBerry Curve – just to see if I liked it. And – who knew!! I loved it – so before my 30 day decision period was over I took it back to AT&T and exchanged it for the BlackBerry Bold 9000 I now own and love with all my heart. When you see me – you see my BlackBerry Bold. That is – if you don’t see it first. I even hooked up with Crackberry via the AT&T CSR where I got my Bold.

Loving my Bold has been a full time job for me since I first took it out of the box right there in the AT&T store. I have been on a mission to make it become everything it can possibly be in my hands. At the moment I am drooling over the 9800 Bold (I think that is what it’s called – the slider – because I have to have a physical QWERTY keyboard on my device.)

At any rate, I haven’t been robbed. I haven’t lost or damaged my Berry. I’m not a student, but I am a teacher. I love my BlackBerry and I would love to own the Bold 9700 if for no other reason than “more app memory” and perhaps the lack of a memory leak. When my upgrade time comes around I will be getting another BlackBerry. Winning this one would be a lot easier on my pocketbook though.

If I win this one I will donate my Bold 9000 to some deserving student. 

Gotta keep the love going!

Peace…...

I have already created a shipping label with my home as the destination address for this Bold 9700 :D

I hope to hell this phone gets passed my way, i told my little brother once i go my own contract that i would add to mine and take him off my parents contract. He love my blackberry and i want to bring him into the crackberry/blackberry world, and what better way to do that than to give him kev's device? One hell of a baptism there...

Thanks for putting a great idea and people together to make this great site. This is the first and really only place I looked for anything blackberry related,especially when I got my first berry. And for all the contests and for info on Campari. :) thanks again

Hey you all im here trying to get my first blackberry ever, so i would appreciate if for all those who have one already to give me a chance to win this...thanks much

I've been waiting for an opportunity to get the 9700! My buddy keeps bragging how he loves his. Who do I have to sleep with to win this??

I have had an 8900 for a year now. I am sick of the trackball, I am sick of the menu/back button breaking in half. My carrier added 3G shortly after I purchased the 8900, so I wish I had the 9700 to utilize the 3G. Had I known that it was coming, I would have waited. But no, my carrier doesn't tell you news like that. So now I am locked into an Equipment agreement, and If I want a different BB before my 2 years is up, I have to pay full price, so no $200 Bold 9700 for me. It would cost me $550. So thanks Cincinnati Bell for not giving any news.

And thanks Kevin for giving us the chance to win your 9700.

I've almost persuaded my girlfriend to leave the iphone and get a blackberry, and this would be a great surprise for her. Then we can take her dumb iphone with its cracked screen and properly dispose of it. She's amazed at how much abuse my 8900 can withstand and she's almost ready to come over to the good guys.

I have been working on getting this bb. I have been doing alot of homework on this and have decided this is the new phone I plan to get. It would be nice if I won it! Thanks

I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE THIS. PLEASE PICK ME. I REALLY WANT IT. THATS WHY I AM SHOUTING

I LOVE THIS PHONE!! HELP ME LOVE THIS SITE TOO!! -:) :) :) :) :) :) :)- NAH! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE THIS SITE! & THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT!

DOCtOR- WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?
PATIaNT- AFTER A FEW SECONDS, I LOoSE MY MEMORY! WHAT TO DO?
DOCTOR- WHEN DID You START TO NOTICE THEse PROBLEMs?
PATIaNT- WHAT PROBLEM?

I will be honored to win this smooth silky looking bold, used but looks like new one, crystal clear screen, voice and pics.
it will be a great push to have this fantastic and best BB model.

First i must say, that beauty is looking mighty fine in those pics. And its not jus any 9700... Its part of crackberry history... So i know the 9700 white is coming to a good home. Lets just hope the same goes for this one aye. Love the 9700 over every other phone out there. Unfortunately haven't got one... yet. Hopefully i win this, but if i don't, whoever the lucky person is take good care of it. And Kev, thats really cool of ya mayne... !

I'll say Thanks!!! :P

Hey I would be so greatful if i won this device as I've been on CrackBerry ever since i got my first BlackBerry in 2008.
Unfortunately my first BlackBerry is also my current BlackBerry hahaa because i can't afford an upgrade so I would be very appreciative if i was to win this :DDD
