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!

BlackBerry 10 is one fantastic OS! I love the way you can call up one app from another and vice versa. 10.2 is an awesome upgrade to an already fantastic OS. Really liking this quick reply business! Thanks for the chance to win :)
I like the BBM app built into every device
My favourite thing is definitely the QWERTY keyboard!

I really do love the keyboard; it's the one thing that I've missed most since switching to an Android phone. Virtual keyboards drive me batty!
Hmmmm.... BlackBerry provides a superior device experience. It learns the user and caters to his/her needs. That predictive text on the keyboard, that SUPERIOR keyboard, sometimes knows what I want to write before I do. The peek, the flow, the hub... all designed to make me a more efficient, more productive person. 10.2 is just another step in the evolution of a super phone. BlackBerry still rules!
