My Story and a VERY sincere thank you!
I've been a BlackBerry user ever since I've had my Pearl in the 4th grade. Eight years later and I'm still using one, even though all my friends have moved on. I had no idea about this site, or the upcoming BlackBerry 10 until I saw it tagged in Yahoo's "top searches of the day." As if by some divine wind, I also saw the BlackBerry 10 sneak peak video on May 1st (My Birthday!) that very same day. The moment I saw it, I knew that this indeed was the very next big thing, and so I waited. And waited. Never did my hope waiver, despite the set backs. By the time there were concrete dates being rumored of I had amassed a savings of about $4000 working as a freelance graphic designer that year and instead of saving it for a car I said screw it. I bought RIMM. When everyone counted it out, I bought it at 7.80. I don't come from a rich family, or even a modest family. I worked for every penny and I can't be more happy to see the perseverance and sheer dedication that the employees at Research in Motion have imbued into this new operating system. So I worked and bought more and more. Today I sit at 1400 shares and a net worth of 24K thanks to the recent surges. I hope for the very best for RIM and all of the great people here at Crackberry and I'm glad to say not only will RIM be providing me with a marvelous new mobile computing device, their tireless efforts will be in-part paying for my college tuition. I am 17 today, and by my 18th birthday I know BlackBerry 10 will be a smashing success!
So, here's to Research in Motion, Thorsten, Kevin and the Crackberry team, and ALL of you diehard fans who have stuck with this company when everyone counted them out for the count!
We are the heart of BlackBerry and our drum beats louder than ever.
