    Post (Embed) in your blog one of the following videos containing your favorite feature on BlackBerry Messenger (BBM). Blog? I don’t have one. Wishing posting it on Facebook qualifies. Such a sweet giveaway!

    Hi EIC,

    It said in the beginning that first 15 entries get 5% bonus, then at the end it said “First 10 entries.” Which is correct? :)

    Thanks,

    Hi guys, important announcement regarding the contest here: http://www.unbox.ph/unbox-announcements/blackberry-bold-9780-contest-update/

    Due to the sheer volume of entries our judges asked to extend by 2 days. To make sure we give the prize properly to the most deserving winner, we obliged. Winners will be announced on Thursday, 1PM.

    Apologies for the wait! I know some of you are really waiting for the results as early as 6AM today (I got a few emails following-up on the winners at 6AM, lol)

    Thanks,
    Carlo
