Contest: Win 1 of 2 BlackBerry Q10's from BlackBerry and Canadian Reviewer

By Corey Herscu
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 instant action so you can use shortcuts from the homescreen . I am not all that good with my cel phone yet , my teenagers are teaching me lol so that would be a great feature for me tweeted @roswello and I like you on facebook too Stacey Dempsey
one impotant thing i luv about blackberry Q10 is it front camera there by enabling one to connect with over 300milion skype users on the go
QNX with cascades in BB10 is so smooth, fast and powerful. And this just the beginning. BlackBerry is just scratching the surface with the potential. BB10 is the future. The sooner the sheep realize it. The better off they will be.
I love blackberry! I've been a dedicated blackberry user for almost 10 yrs! My fave thing is the REAL keyboard - by far. I can't stand touch screens (they never seem to pick up my oh so lovely but not even 'delicate' touch... not interested in having to pound on a phone to get it to register simple typing) and I'll hopefully be using BB for a long time to come. Major fan.
follow you on twitter and tweeted, and liked you on fb
thanks for the contest!
I love that it is a Canadian company. Despite all the flack they are getting, I still think their newer phones are great. I just think they introduced them a little too late. They are still fighting though and I hope to see them keep their head above water.
