Magmic Social’s resident poker pro: the Pirate is back. This week he’s giving away lots of BlackBerry booty for anyone who can beat him at his favorite game: Texas Hold ‘em King 3 Connected.
To win, track down, and eliminate the Pirate in a connected play money game. Once you’ve tracked down the Pirate, you’ll have to message him in-game so he knows you’re from BBCool. Say something like “hey, I’m from BBCool, yarr.” He’ll be playing all week on the $5-$10 tables. If you want to know exactly what table he’s playing on, check out Pirate’s Magmic Social player page
and it will tell you all about his recent activity.
Magmic Social is a great tool to connect with Friends and other BlackBerry gamers. If you’re a BlackBerry game fan you should check it out.
This week’s winners will get set up with Documents To Go Premium Edition for BlackBerry from the BlackBerryCool Store. This Premium app normally costs around $70 and is a must-have for anyone needing to reliably create, open, and edit Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files while on the go.
There is no purchase necessary to participate in this contest as you can still meet and beat the Pirate with a 3-day trial version of THK3 from Blackberry games publisher Bplay. Once the Pirate has been beaten we will announce the winner in the comments below as well as in this contest’s discussion on Magmic Social.
Good Luck!

Thank you everyone for your entries into the Slacker Radio Plus contest! We here at BlackBerry Cool do have a sense of humor and Brian pulled the right string to make us laugh. Yes it is dark and no you shouldn’t do this at home.
Here was the winning comment:
Some people are like slinkies…they are not really good for anything, but they sure bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs. I prefer some Slacker music while I watch it.
Congratulations Brian!

The whole BlackBerry Cool team is pretty proud that we just launched BlackBerry Cool Mobile. But, as happy as we are, we know that BlackBerry Cool Mobile is still in beta. That’s why we need your help.
We need you to put BlackBerry Cool Mobile through it’s paces. Kick the tires. Rip it apart and put it back together. Hold nothing back. Post your (constructive) criticism to help make BlackBerry Cool Mobile the best mobile app out there, and we’ll make it worth your while. This week we’re giving away 10 FREE BPLAY GAME/THEME PACKS FOR THE FIRST TEN COMMENTS and TEN MORE FOR THE BEST FEEDBACK.
But we’re not stopping there. We’re giving away a $100 BLACKBERRY COOL STORE GIFT CARD AS THE GRAND PRIZE, to be randomly drawn from all those that posted feedback. What are you waiting for?

Oftentimes with the BlackBerry Cool Weekly Contest, we ask your thoughts on a topic of the day, heeding the myriad voices of the BlackBerry Nation to better our understanding of what you want and what you’re thinking. Now we want to give back.
We want you to post any problems you have with the BlackBerry: things that won’t work, things that you need to fix, things that you’ve never known how to do and would like to. Help us help you by posting what you want — or need — to know.
WE’RE GIVING AWAY 10 FREE LIVESCREENS BY DREAMTHEME TO THE FIRST TEN POSTERS (with a valid question) and 3 LiveScreens to the three best questions. To learn more about LiveScreens, check out the articles below:

Hands On with LiveScreens from DreamTheme
P.S. I know I’ve been pretty bad in getting prizes out to winners lately. I’m dedicating myself to rectifying this issue over the weekend. If you’ve won a prize and haven’t been reached by BlackBerry Cool, please get ahold of us via the Contact link below the BBCool header.

The BlackBerry Storm has finally arrived!… In the United Kingdom, at least, with Vodafone shipping pre-ordered BlackBerrys today. Verizon’s November 21st announcement puts the Storm front just one week away from North American shores.
So it is now time to decide how the BlackBerry Storm, RIM/Verizon’s Apple/AT&T killer, will fare this coming holiday season. We know about RIM’s current market position and how much they need this device to succeed; we’ve heard the criticisms of Verizon’s pricing scheme. Now it’s time for YOU to weigh in.
Because the stakes are so high (and because we haven’t done a Weekly Contest in a while), we’re raising the stakes ourselves: giving away TEN FREE COPIES OF PEEKAWHO, a piece of software no BlackBerry user should be without. We’ll give away 8 copies to the first 8 posters (with relevant and insightful comments) and save the last two for the two best comments. What are you waiting for?
Last Week’s Weekly Contest Winner

Maybe it’s because we’re in a holiday mood right now (and stuffed with, well.. stuffing and gravy), or maybe it’s because last week we asked for BlackBerry criticism and want to show the other side of the coin.
Regardless of motive, we want you to write a love letter to RIM and your BlackBerry. Tell us why you can’t live without your BlackBerry. Tell us how it’s better than all other smartphones out there. Tell us about the time your BlackBerry saved your life/job/marriage. Or maybe you can tell us how excited you are for the 13 million (approximate number) new BlackBerrys coming out this holiday season. The person that can best show how grateful they are for their BlackBerry will win a FREE OTTERBOX DEFENDER SERIES BLACKBERRY CASE to better protect their prized possession.
