I lurked for many months, as I perused CB to see what BB I should get.
I procrastinated...
In July I was invited to a BOLD launch party - I was gifted a Bold... decision made.
I joined CB in July as I waited for my Bold... I did some posting ie: answering questions, getting caught up in rumours etc.
I became totally addicted to the site and have read and followed many postings by you regular Crackberry addicts... you know who you are.
Today I got my phone.
Corporate Rep called me yesterday and asked if I'd be around this week so he could drop it off, I told him I'll come to your office and I'll see you first thing in the morning.
Hello Everyone, thanks for all your knowledge and wit so far. You'll be seeing a whole lot more of me.
Welcome to the addiction.......and if you decide to REGIFT I will be happy to accept.
As if... LMAO OK, I'll keep you in mind... yeah right...

Yup, blew me away, didn't see it coming. I knew they were going to give away goodies, but not a phone... maybe a couple Bold door prizes but everyone? They had, I'm guessing, a couple hundred guests there. Multiply that by four cities across the country, though no idea what the guest counts were for those. Over the top, I know. Anyways, I guess all the invitees were corporate clients invited by their corporate reps. Our company has 30 cell phone users, 10 of which are Blackberries. That was our in. At the end of the evening, after music drinks, Bold demo stations and a DJ mixing tunes via two Bolds mounted on custom stands, an announcement was made "everyone gets a Bold". I was dumbfounded as well as very happy that I went.
