And there are a lot of Nexus 5 fanboys aswell... especialy even when android comunity is way bigger than Blackberry one.

I'm surprised the Z30 made it this far. Nexus is starting to get a few more votes now.. who knows whats going to happen.

just cast my vote for the Z30!

We won't be blogging this thing on the homepage. If you're looking for the reason, let me remind you of this blog post and podcast from last year:

The iMore Podcast where CrackBerry Kevin and Windows Phone Dan talk about how stupid this Smartphone Madness contest is... | CrackBerry.com



For the last few years Laptop mag has done their Smartphone Madness contest, and it's freak'n stupid. Last year in the finals, it came down to people writing scripts to game the polldaddy results. It wasn't even people voting by the end of it. I'm sure it's good for their traffic, which is why technobuffalo is doing it now (though laptop's even this year looks pretty dead), but it's an equally stupid premise for an event like this. The results mean nothing.

So, that being the case, none of our Mobile Nations sites will blog this stuff up and draw more attention to the stupidity. It's awesome that the community is behind wanting to win. I just jumped over and cast my vote for the cause. But even if we win, it's nothing to be excited about as it's such a flawed way to run a smartphone head to head to begin with. So hopefully those voting at least have a little fun doing so and getting worked up about it. Then it's not totally a waste of time.

Sorry for the harsh but true reality.

you don't think they can get rid of duplicate votes before posting the results?

[newfie1974]

Did not know all that Kevin. Thanks for the info.

You don't think a clever script writer knows how to add IP changing to the script? . It's a flawed poll, but still fun to see us make the Z30 win! The "CrackBerry affect" is what we call it.

I think the respectable, knowledgeable comments by BlackBerry fans on the voting page is messing with the ignorant BlackBerry haters. It seems they have no idea how to make comebacks to this kind of wisdom and maturity. Interesting.

I voted for the Z30. While I have a Q10, my wife has the Z30. Great phone, actually 2 great phones. Go BlackBerry!

BTW, nice to see Ashley at the end of the video. Go Ashley!

[Chanlion]

Voted out of honesty. Z30 got my vote. I'm sorry my N5.

[BernFlo]

Regardless of the outcome, Blackberry is getting some positive responses and exposure, that's a good thing. I voted, Z30 is a great phone voting for it is my way of showing my support for Blackberry and a wonderful new OS.
