This Monday we retired our Blackberries and replaced them with our brand new iPhone 3Gs.
We have used the Blackberries extensively for work, travel, play, on our way to the office, in the office, during conferences, meetings and while swimming, during cooking and in our bathtubs. We dropped it, almost drowned it, overheated it and lost it while skiing and found it back again. We photographed the stars and ourselves and wrote many thousands of email and read even more.
Now it is time to say goodbye. We thought about ceremoniously burying them somewhere in the woods to give them the respect they deserve, but why not ask you? What do you think we should do with these trusted machines? Should we give them to you? Burn them? Recycle them? Keep them? Just forget about them? Tell us!

Why? Because I’m your sister, Boris!
Why? Wanting to test it already for a while now to see if its worth switching over…heard lots of good stories about it and want to experience it myself, plus I’m fed up with Windows Mobile ^_^
dump em both and settle for an Appleberry iStorm!
^^^
@jcvangent on twitter that is ;-)
also: because i’m a poor student and i’ll settle for anything better than my LG paperweight!
Please give it to me: I need one to add Blackberry support to http://www.pushpax.com
I need a new phone. Mine is broken and i can’t get a new one yet. T-mobile brought Orange in The netherlands and both company’s have services to replace broken phones but not anymore if you are an orange client within the T-mobile network. I’m getting more and more disappointed in T-mobile.
Why? Because I can give it to my boss. He finally got his Blackberry and it was delivered with a german keyboard. Which means de Z and the Y are switched.
Give one to me and one to another student (or your sister) who is, like me, strugeling with paying too much rent for a room that is too small and, college books that are too expensive and really wants a new cellphone.
Or just give it to me because it’s my birthday today :)
I need this so i can watch porn in public.
U can give it to me, why, because I’ll make sure to make a good use of it, and It’s a cool thing to do. Of course If I’ll not like it, I’ll make sure that someone else get it as a gift…
Why? Because i would like to rejoin with my berry family! (my lastname is raspberry -> http://tinyurl.com/597nt2)
cause i’m a nice person and i’m gonna take care of it :)
i need it!
Why should you give me a Blackberry? Well I live in Denmark, and Denmark being the big Nokia/Sony Ericsson country the blackberry would reinforce my personal brand as a International Web 2.0 citizen and that would be a big help for me =) … and then it is about time I retire my almost 2 years old Sony Ericson for something a little bit more web 2.0ish – So I hope you guy would help a Poor Student *lol* reinforce his personal brand ;D
i will call or SMS you from ukraine :)
Kindly send to address:

Well, i didn’t had a real cellphone before. I shure can crank out with those. I live in The Netherlands if you wanna give them to me :P
Give me one. Why? Because last Saturday I was stupid enough to believe the hype and bought the piece of crap known as an iPhone.
I’m desperately trying to get rid of it, and I wonder what I should get myself now. A Blackberry will do just the trick, and help me get through this horrible ordeal of having used an iPhone.
I just want them because I’m gready!
‘Cause I love testing!
And I never had a blackberry before.
And well, my phone is kinda dying itself but I can’t find “that perfect one” to replace it.
And it’s so cool to have your cellphones! “Next Web” phones, everybody will be jealous!! :D
trade it for my last liquorice
Give one to my Boss, ’cause I learned him to send text-messages with T9 today ;-)
Whoa!!.. give one to me ;-)
Why?…euh..just because.. It would look nice in my “complete useless things ever invented” collection, as the first item that ‘ll start the collection :D
Finally looking cool in public places
people will stop starring at my shoelaces
and I’ll spend too much time in virtual spaces
:)
Hi Boris,
Give them to me, founder Marktplaats.nl Handelspost verKoopwinkel. Why , because we’ll sell them for you and give you 100% of the selling price. We sell better and fast than an online pureplay because we also have offline stores. We’ll waive our standard fee of 25%. That’s the best ROI of any of the above suggestions.
Call 06-295 47 689 and I’ll even come and pick them up. ( At the Vijzelstraat ? )
Kind regards,
Ansgar-John
Founder verKoopwinkel
Over 75 000 articles sold.
You might consider giving it to me.
Why?
My boyfriend keeps on stealing my iPhone. I think he needs a new toy (and his birthday is soon).
I want to pay money for black berry internet and it needs a blackberry to do that
@Boris, I’d love to have to pitch it against the other phones I have been using lately including the ones I used for my web 2.0 expo trip. And of course, I am going to pass on the gesture. If I’m done with it, I will give it away through either my blog or twitter. Pass-the-phone kind of thing.
Well, I wouldn´t mind getting one. My beloved e61 is slowly dying – I am even taking my charger out to Bars/Cafés and ask them to borrow me some juice for the battery. The display is scratched and randomly switching off….and everything now, while I found my first non-profit-ngo-alike-web2.0-startup…good reasons? cheers from cairo, tobi (p.s. i love used phones, u just don´t worry about the one or other scratch with the totally natural “rough street life” around here)
Of course i want it, because of the following reasons:
- I never had an Blackberry
- I also want so be real online by mail all the time, instead of on my K800i phone, with just an keypad
- I neeeeeed it sooooo bad
- I wear also whith suits, uch, no not realy, i never wear anything white, damn
- I cannot buy an iPhone with account
- I do not want to buy an iPhone with account
- I like the sound of the word black-berry, it sounds like some kind of superhero from an comic
- I live in Holland, so the sending fee will be low
- I like the concept of this deal, it does make the people leave an comment
- I can write al kinds of reasons starting with the letter i
I usually don
why should you give the blackberry to me?
well, to be completely honest, i am grounded and cell phone-less. in other words i am to the point where i want to skewer my eye balls out. in order to get back my blackberry back i have currently, i need to replace the one my mom has hidden in her drawer, so when she goes to look where it is, she still thinks she has mine!
just help a girl out who is trapped in her house without her cell phone.
It would be lovely to get this because I had an 8300 and loved it! There was no camera but I was content. I recently came home from school with the phone in my hand the whole time but then I got home and later that evening can’t find it anywhere. I lost it and looked everywhere in my house. So sad. And now my husband is very mad. That’s just life.
