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!

My favourite thing about Blackberry is they aren't just giving up like so many other companies have. The company keeps coming up with new, innovative ways to get people talking about them (like the whole BBM craze, which everyone seems to jump on the bandwagon of.) Plus, I love that QWERTY keyboard!
I've been using Blackberry for as long as I can remember, since the old black & white days when everyone else was wearing pagers. It's all I know, and I still love it. I think Blackberry Hub is the most innovative software on a smartphone in years. I can't wait to get my hands on a newer model to replace my current Bold!
I love that Blackberrry has relased BBM for cross platorm to facilitate communication, idea generation and adavancement without the restrictions of what kind of phone you have.
