BlackBerry has been taking a lot of flack lately. A lot. Botched product launches, missed release dates, and increasing scrutiny on their future; it's enough to annoy anyone, and rightfully so.
But there are always two sides to every story. What many don't realize is that until the 'closed' sign formally appears on the doors of BlackBerry's offices in Waterloo the company continues to operate valiantly.
Despite all the negativity, there are still hundreds of dedicated employees going to work everyday hustling along towards a common goal: giving BlackBerry the second wind it so rightfully deserves.
So, over the last few weeks, I have been pondering what we at CanadianReviewer.com can do to lift people's spirits; aside from the positive vibes and happy sentiments I try to put out through our own social channels. Then it hit me: why not run a contest?
Rather than giving away a shiny new Android device to use BBM on, let's focus on one of the best devices to ever come out of Waterloo: the kickass QWERTY-featured BlackBerry Q10! Powered by BlackBerry 10.1 out of box (and 10.2 now available for update), the Q10 combines the award-winning functionality of all-things BlackBerry, with, of course, BBM the way it was meant to be: BBM voice, BBM video, BBM channels, etc. not the scaled down version now available on Android and iOS.
For our lucky readers, we have two to giveaway!
Here is how you can win:
1. Leave a comment on the blog stating your favorite thing about BlackBerry. Get creative. We read every single comment.
2. Tweet out "I want to win a #BlackBerryQ10 from @BlackBerry and @CReviewer"
3. Must follow @CReviewer on Twitter and Like us on Facebook
4. That's it. That's really all.
This contest is open for one week and available to anyone in North America. We will announce the winners next Friday November 1.
Two winners will be chosen at random via tweets/comments/likes. Duplicate entries will be voided.
Good luck to all who enter!

What I love about BlackBerry is they make the best smartphones on the market today. Many haven't given them a chance but I've always used BlackBerry for communication.
Z10 - fast, smooth, best keyboard on the market.
Q10 - Best (and only) QWERTY keyboard there is. Built for business and fun.
Z30 - Best, brightest clearest screen available. Amazing battery life!
Put 10.2 on them and there isn't anything better.
Now get out there people, try the lineup of BlackBerry phones, and once you've bought one, come back and thank me!
I just really love the masterful productivity built into the products! The premium heavenly-crafted keyboard of the Q10 satisfies the user with each fulfilling click. I've tried them out in the store, but oh, how I'd love to call one my own. I can only dream of a world where the Q10 fills my pockets, and if it came true, I would forever love canadianreviewer.com!
My favourite thing about BlackBerry is that they are a home grown technology company that pioneered the market that makes the world turn today and has changed the way we communicate and consume media forever.
As for BlackBerry 10, I love the fact that BlackBerry stayed true to their roots and made a phone that lets people multi-task efficiently and fly through paragraphs of text on that crazy keyboard.
I love the QWERTY keyboard... that's why I love Blackberry and will use it as long as I can!

What I love about blackberry q10, well there is so much to love, I can write about how it has a amazing keyboard or how wonderful it feels in the hand. I could wax poetic about bb10 all day so simply different and easy. However the best thing about the blackberry is it's Canadian! I'm a member of the CF and pround to be Canadian. When I see the phone I feel a pride akind to how I feel when I see the Canada arm. It's a symbol, it's a powerful tool, I love it.
