I think Dawg deserves the 8330....go Dawg go!!

I think whatever doesn't get spent on the Blackberry should go to Cory Scheuer for organizing this whole thing. What do you guys think?

Thanks Cory!

Definately!

I say Dawg gets whatever Dawg wants!!!

And, yes, it was great of Cory to set this up.

Sent a donation. Hope it helps a fellow BB member.

I'm cool with that.

Someone (EZ?) find out what the 8330 is going to cost retail and if you can buy it. Cory is in Canada. Ez....can you get it from your friend at VZW? Maybe Cory can paypal you enough to purchase the device and ship it off to Dawg (since his paypal is closed--yet another story.)

Wirelessly posted (my new touch button BB)

Well let's find out what the DAWG wants I'm sure I can purchase it from my friend. Ill makes sure though. I believe DAWG is fond of the Pearl

This thread is truly inspiring. It is nice to be part of a community like this one!

I believe Dawg would like the 8830 as well. I remember how he loved his 8703. We will see which device he wants.

Disagree... Whatever is left *should* be donated to charity in the name of the BBF....

Kris

That sounds good as well...

Why would anyone CHOOSE the 8830 over the 8330?? Unless you weren't allowed to have a camera or something.

You'll never get all the contributors to agree which charity would get the donation.
My vote is for Cory to keep the excess.

Sometimes a thread crap brings the best ideas! I like that better.

Lets find out what he wants, what it costs and then shoot for that plus shipping. We don't want to over collect.

This was/is a great thing! Very very nice of everyone.

Ill tell ya guys what, whatever is over ill match it and we give it to a charity!! Dawg can chose the charity. After all, if it wasnt for him smashing his device, none of this would have been possible.

I'm new to this site as a member but have been checking it out for some time. I am just amazed how close the community is here. The people are as great as the information you all provide. It's truly impressive. Thank you.

Awesome idea!!!! And thanks for matching it....

Dawg picks the charity and the extra goes there.... I like that!!!

This is a brilliant idea. This thread gets my vote for best of the year.

Guys. I've been a member of BBF from the frist few days it started. I come and go at times due to work load. This is one of the coolest things to do for someone you know from a forum and shows how tight this forum is and how everyone does truly help everyone else. I through some money into the ring as well.
Dawg, I met you at WES this year as well, with NJBlackberry and JIBI at the TMO party. Enjoy your new BB.

Hello everyone!

Current balance is at $405.00 and counting. I just have to say I am really impressed with this. When I first set this up I was thinking, oh maybe we'll get$100 to help dawg out. But this has really exceeded my expectations!

Thank you all!

THIS is why this forum is the best.

...well, this and all of the technical stuff...and the funny stuff...and the 'certain comfort'...etc.

AND the college football thread.

Ok guys wow I stand amazed. I will take the curve but will take a pearl at this point I am not going to be picky at all. I played with both today. I tried what you told me to do EZ and I got the run around and youll have to pay full price.

As far as the charity goes. I think anything to do with cancer would be my choice as my father is dieing from cancer his sister has breast cancer. So anything left please donate it that way.

Dawg...I've used both and I do like the Curve better. However, whatever you want, get it.

So, what's it gonna be? Curve or Pearl?

Dawg, I have the 8330 from Verizon and I would recommend that over the Pearl Personally. I got to demo both of them before I decided and I love the Curve much more.

And as for the Cancer Charity, I think that is a great idea. 100% support here on that.

I guess the curve then I can use either keyboard. and the curve isnt that much bigger really.

Dawg you will love the curve, i used a Pearl for awhile but must say the curve although its bigger is much much better.

Donated today since my power is back on.

And after you run my optimizing on it you'll have like almost 50 Mb free memory!

wow beats the 18 on the pearl huh

Finally got to toss my hat into the donation ring since power/internet team is back. Hope you enjoy your new phone, Dawg!

Maybe we should get Dawg one of these:

with a lanyard

Ahahhahaha yeah, I think that would be perfect for him, ohhh and get a homing beacon installed so if he loses it we can track it down lol

Its totally not much, but hay, every little will help, right?

Or maybe a bungee cord.. extra shock protection!

i've not even been online much at all today, but this is just awesome. honestly, not just the best thread of the year, but quite possibly the best thread of BBF's existence.

^^Agreed.

Good for him.

Just made a donation, You will love the curve....
