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 like the support that you are showing BlackBerry. The Z10 is my first BlackBerry ever and I love it. I switched from a long line of iPhones and I'll never look back. I'm 26, and not a Financial Adviser nor a CEO, so I do not fit the BlackBerry stereotypes. I truly think if more people actually tried the device, they would fall in "love" with it. I think one obstacle for new users is that the navigation around the OS is so different from the other smartphones that some may get confused or frustrated and give up. However, once one learns the gestures, it's like second nature. Give it a week or two and it's a done deal.
Keyboard efficiency - I've got things to do and BB10 gets things done.
Regardless of the way marketing was/is handled at BlackBerry they have the right idea, BlackBerry let's you "Get things done". The ecosystem is superior to everything out there in both performance and style. Ease in use is arguable, people who don't want or unable to learn new ways of doing things will never like any new tech. BlackBerry Forever!
The physical keyboard is a must for me.
Blackberry makes the best keyboards and I love keeping in touch with friends and family with BBM
