I can't post links cause I'm a noob, but I just won a Storm and have never owned a BB, so I joined the site - maybe someone can validate the links and create 'em rather than me spamming to get to 10?

While I have never owned a Blackberry, I am a bit of a mobile nerd so when I saw a contest in SF on BGR this morning, I had to head down there:

boygeniusreport.com/2008/11/03/verizons-blackberry-storm-challange-hits-san-francisco-100-storms-given-away/

Turns out, this was their first stop, so the contest was ridiculously easy and me and 99 others quickly won free Storms. I guess they'll send it to me the day they're released to the public (though they couldn't say when that would be.)

Also, I found some pics and vids of the contest in the comments on BGR...they're going to 5 cities (Chi-town is next) so I thought it would help you all out.

Was anyone else there?

Would you be willing to sell the device?

[cardinalgill]

nah, but thanks for the offer. I've been rocking a crappy samsung for a while and a sweet free handset is just what I need to make the jump into modernity.

If it is like the other giveaways it is a voucher. Not the actual phone.

[cardinalgill]

My bad, yes, it's a voucher, not a phone...sorry if that wasn't clear. They'll mail it to me the day it's released to the public.

I have one of those vouchers as well from another event.

Sweet, how'd you get it?

[DacyJ]

How can I get my hands on one of them?

They're coming here to Chicago next. Anybody know when and where they'll be?

[cardinalgill]

Not sure exactly where, but the woman I was talking with at the event said that Chicago is next and that they set up in San Francisco last night, to do the gig today. My guess would then be either Wednesday or Thursday (travel/setup Tuesday)

It is a Verizon event. It will be a locked 9530.

Very cool! Question... How easy is it to actually grab the cards and win the voucher? This is coming to NYC this week, and I'm considering getting down there to give it a go, but I have other things to do so I'm only going if there's a reasonable chance of winning.

It starts at 10am, so would I have to get there at 7 to have a chance?

I would also like to head down on Thursday in NYC, how difficult was it to grab the tix? Was it relatively easy? If you have a small amount of coordination, it can be done? Let me know...
