I’ve spoken to a few companies that are cutting back their conference attendance given a general recession and tightening of resources. I thought I’d remind everyone that Zenprise are running a contest right now for a free pass to WES 2010. We’ll remind readers a couple more times leading up to the conference in case you missed it, because we think every company in the BlackBerry space should attend this event. Head over to their Facebook page facebook.com/zenprise and share your smartphone support story.

Zenprise have a great contest running where you can win a free pass to WES 2010 ($1,799 value). All you have to do is become a fan of their Facebook page, and write a funny end user smartphone support story on their wall. If you decide to do a video post and win, Zenprise will also reimburse you up to $500 for your plane fare to Florida.
Not a bad deal! You have nothing to lose and a free trip to WES 2010 to gain so head over to facebook.com/zenprise and enter.

There is only 1 week left until RIM promised us that OS 5.0 would be available. It would be great if it’s still coming but with only a week left you have to wonder if they can do it. Also, given this is the holidays, they are surely short staffed.
According to the official word that Kevin got from RIM:
The roll out process has begun for BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 with the recent beta release of BlackBerry JDE 5.0 (BlackBerry Java Development Environment 5.0) to BlackBerry Developer Zone at www.blackberry.com/developers to prepare the BlackBerry developer community for pending device software releases. As can be expected, BlackBerry Device Software 5.0 will follow before the end of the year, as referenced in the “RIM Launches BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0″ press release that was issued at WES 2009.
The official statement doesn’t tell us what devices will receive OS 5, but rather vaguely states that it will be available. One would have to assume that this would include the 9000, and the 83xx series at the very least.
[Thanks to all the readers who sent in this reminder]

Although WES 2010 isn’t until late April, we have a great contest to help 2 lucky people get there for free. The recession has hit a lot of companies’ budgets and conference dollars are hard to come by these days. The good folks at GSX are therefore helping out.
To enter for 1 of 2 free trips to WES 2010, all you need to do is the following:
Between now and Dec 15th, email feedback@gsx.net with Promo2010 to schedule a one hour one-on-one demo on GSX’s BES, Domino, Sametime or Exchange monitoring solutions.
By doing so, you will be automatically entered to win a fully paid trip to WES 2010. That includes air fare within the continental US, Hotel at the show and entrance fee to Lotusphere.
Hope to see you at WES and if you got there through BlackBerry Cool, you owe the us 1 coffee (they’re free).
