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!

I was going to say the keyboard because I have a Curve 9320 and can't see myself ever doing without a keyboard but then I as I did more research into the features of BB10, I'm finding that the improvements made to the calendar app, sending email and the remember app will quickly become my favourite things about this new platform because they will be perfect for when I return to college after so many years next January. The Q10 will make the perfect back to school accessory for me.
I'm pretty traditional and love the actual full keyboard. Can never get used to the touch screen keyboard.
I love the security baked into the QNX operating system! Plus the keyboard rocks!
My favourite thing about BlackBerry is simple. It comes down to productivity. It's simplicity, ease of use, never closing an app. The phone adapts to me, not the other way around. I keep moving forward and never have to go backwards. Emails, social media, snapping a photo, surfing the web. Never a compromise. But, if I had to pick ONE favourite thing... It's QWERTY.
Long live BlackBerry!
I love blackberry because they are the only phones that can play HD .MKV files and the hdmi plug in is amazing for when i'm on the road.
