I voted no as well for the various reasons below. CB does exactly what I want it to, various subjects are covered, new information is almost instant, help is readly available, latest tech (themes, apps, etc.) is here. It just doesn't make any sense to me. if I want to know more about the company I can google it.
My only suggestion, if there was a book, a collection of the how to's in this forum, that would be a purchase I would make.

I agree with the "No" vote. By the time the magazine hits the stands we will have read that news on CB 1-2 months ago. Mags are great to have on hand for research and looking up old articles from time to time but a print mag will never keep up with a site like this. No reason to take CrackBerry's news and print it 2 months later. Sorry.
I would definitely subscribe to it, no doubt. Things I would like to see in it would be, websites that catered to the BB user. All of the latest BB models, and their reviews of the product. Lists of all websites like this one here at CB, and other fourms. Hopefully this can materialize, I look forward to hearing more about it.
can't we just make CB looks more like Macworld.com...? I am a fairly new member but went to the site several times before to get software fr my GF's Pearl. I believe we may consider few things:
- A cosmetic refresh of the website
- An translation of the website: achieved by translators paid a good business based on ads and store etc...
- Some books published occasionally either in PDF or in hard cover (tutorials for ex)
- We could go even as far as creating a premium online content with screencast, interview, videocast....
Sure this requires a good business strategy but in my opinion it would not make sense to ignore the potential of CB
**** we could even create a BB social network and a specific BB application...
Uhh I need a subscription sent to my house and to the office. Make it a weekly magazine also. Actually make it a daily, like a newspaper. I am on board!

Another YES vote, even though some of the news may be old when it comes out, I would use them as a reference library. Always good to have...and as far as a name....how about Berry United...changing the world one Berry at a time. Just a thought.
I would depending on the price. It could also feature freebies like online coupons for premium themes or 10% off accessories in the CB store. Reviews, features on news by carrier, device, new products, all that good stuff would make me subscribe.

How about members here coming up with some suggestions for a name for the new mag. The submitter of a name we choose gets a freebie lifetime sub to the new mag.
Cheers.

I like "BB User News" or "News for BB Users" or "Everthing BB"
Blackberry can also be spelled out instead of the BB.
I would absolutely subscribe to this mag! I'd love to see a blackberry magazine in my mailbox! Count me in! While I LOVE cb and always read the updates right here, I'd love to get a magazine related to my fav. Device!
