RIM offers the chance to instantly win a BlackBerry and more

Comments

winwithblackberry

RIM has launched a new campaign on their WinWithBlackBerry site. The contest offers the chance to instantly win prizes such as one of 10 BlackBerry devices, accessories and discounts.

It seems Jim Balsillie had a hand in this contest because you can also win a ton of hockey prizes. You can win hockey jerseys, game tickets and an all expenses paid trip for 4 to a “North American Hockey League finals game” and $2,000 spending cash.

The contest works on points, and the more you participate in the contest, the more points you get.

Check out WinWithBlackBerry for registration and more contest details.

Announcement: Winners of the BlackBerry Cool Opera Mini Contest

Comments

Grand Prize: The winner of the Grand Prize goes to Alex Lombardi. Alex’s review of Opera Mini will be tomorrow morning for everyone to read. The winning review was a close call between Alex, @coffeedaze and a review submitted by Dennis from WAPreview.com.

The Grand Prize is a 7-day all-inclusive trip to Scandinavia this summer. Congratulations Alex!

Dennis is in a tough situation for prizes because he’s using an iDen 7100, and therefore none of our cases and accessories really apply. If anyone wants to trade a CDMA Curve for an 8350i, we can make this happen. We’re giving him:

  • $100 for the BlackBerry Cool Store
  • Duracell PowerSource Mini
  • Freedom Keyboard
  • We’re giving @coffeedaze

  • $100 for the BlackBerry Cool Store
  • A Mobile Portable Power solution
  • X-Mini Speaker system
  • We’re also giving away:

  • BodyGuardz scratch protectors for the Curve 900 and Bold.
  • Otterbox cases for the Bold and 8900.
  • So if you entered and have a Bold or Curve 900, leave a comment with the same username/email.

    Backup and restore to your media card with PhoneBAKup: Giveaways!

    73 Comments

    phonebakup

    PhoneBAKup looks like a pretty useful app for saving time and energy making backups of your important files. The app lets you schedule daily, weekly or monthly backups for your BlackBerry OTA. With each backup, you can save your device’s data including the Address Book, Task, Calendar and MemoList.

    The data is emailed to an email address of your choosing, so if you have a lot of data, make sure you have an appropriate data plan. Also, consider making a separate email address for your backups so it doesn’t get mixed up with your other emails and can be quickly accessed.

    PhoneBAKup normally costs $19.90 with no subscriptions or annual fees. There is also a free trial available.

    We’re also giving away 20 free copies of PhoneBAKup. To win, comment and tell us what the last app you purchased was.

    [UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for participating in the contest. Entries are closed and winners will be notified]

    This application is compatible with the BlackBerry Pearl (8100,8110,8120), Pearl Flip (8200,8220), Curve (8300,8310,8320), 8700 C/G/R, 8707 G/V, 8800, 8820, 8830, Curve 8900, Bold 9000 and the Storm 9500.

    Win a free copy of Kasper Hauser’s “Obama’s BlackBerry”

    16 Comments

    hauser_obamablackberryhc

    We recently wrote about the book by San Francisco comedy troupe Kasper Hauser “Obama’s BlackBerry.” The book has some pretty hilarious fake musings between Obama and his various presidential colleagues, including Vice President Joe Biden, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

    Hachette Book Group are giving away 5 free copies of the book to BlackBerry Cool readers. To win, comment an app you’d think Obama would like and why. We’ll choose our 5 favorite.

    Only residents of the US and Canada are eligible to win; no PO boxes, please.

    Read our post about Obama’s BlackBerry for quotes.

    UPDATE: Thanks for participating guys. Here are the winners:

    Leslie

    Visible Vote is an app I think President Obama would love! He could give congress a heads up on how to vote on a bill w/o having to hold a meeting or send out staffers to the hill. He can vote yes/no/don’t care and send congress members emails via the app. It’s everything I think President Obama would love as a BlackBerry user. He is very aware of technology and this could pose to be an excellent step forward in the way he lets congress know how he feels on current bills.

    elizabeth

    I just looked at all the apps. I have and came to a conclusion that Obama will like the evernotes app. He could take notes, take pictures, and do a video thing for his kids. I could totally see Obama taking notes, taking pictures and sending them to his wife and kids! It’s because the app. I good to use anytime, anywhere and for whatever reasons! The president can’t miss a thing that’s why!

    Richard

    How about a copy of Google Latitude so he can tell where everyone is at any given time? So he knows if Biden has left the building or not? :) Wait, I suppose he the most powerful spy network in the world to do that for him, never mind…

    Travis

    Seriously?! Obama doesn’t want the app I’m going to mention, he has it. The Spoof App. Obama can make prank calls to the likes of Hilary Clinton, Joe Biden, etc. He might even dial across the world and start WWIII with the app. He probably buys minutes in the app so he doesn’t have the 2 min ads.

    Kreg

    Obama has to have Quickpull installed. When you’re the president of the united states and your app memory runs low, you can’t just sit there and pull the battery out. You need to be a little sly with it and click a button and put the phone back in the holster until it boots back up.
