I just sent $50 on behalf of the Crack Team over at CB.

Use it to buy an OtterBox and protect that new Baby!!

Wow!! Thanks Kevin!!!!

Hey Kevin, good man!!

Well so far the total is at, drum rolls please.....dadadadadadaadadad dum....

$485.00



remember everyone, that the extra that isnt used for dawgs new BB will be going to a charity, so please feel free to donate if you like, and if you have already, i thank you!

Nicely done, Cory and everyone...this is the internet (and us humans in general) at their finest.

Donation sent, for phone/charity as required.

Having 1) Driven out from under a pair of very expensive perscription glasses once (I could hear them "screeeeeeeeeee" sliding across the roof of my car as I pulled away from the curb, and 2) Discovered that my laptop was right in front of me on on top of my hood as I was driving down the street at about 30 MPH, I can really empathize with your experience, Dawg.

wow what a great thread. it almost makes me want to switch back to a blackberry from my nokia n95 8gb just so i can really use this website again.

good work everyone. i would definitely donate, but college really isnt the cheapest thing in the world.

Wow 485.00 I am blown away. I am so happy to be getting a new BB but I am more excited about the donation to the American Cancer Society contribution.

My dad used to tell me you cant have friends over the Internet he said its just to impersonal. I called him last night and then sent him a link to this thread. He called me late last night and said he stands corrected.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart, I am truly touched by this. My wife really thanks you because I wont be moping around lost with out my addiction.

I am truly becoming a believer in karma, last Friday was having a quick lunch at a place called the waffle house. Its a short order kinda place. Well these two really rough looking guys walk in. One is carrying two bed rolls, the other a duffel bag. They were really looked like they had been on the road for a very long time. They were happy and cutting up like they didn't have a care in the world.

they were talking and trying to scrape together enough money to buy them a meal. They said that they had twenty dollars left. They ordered their meal and went into the restroom. Well something came over me and I told the waitress to give me their bill.

She asked why do you know them. I replied no I just want to buy their lunch. She asked who do I tell them paid for it. I said just tell em Jesus did it. So I paid my bill and left with the best feeling in the world. It wasn't much but it was from the heart.

So here I am receiving a gift from the heart and thats what really rocks my world.

That's a awsome thing to do DAWG!!

Thanks to team CB for their donation!

Thanks Kevin!

ez catch me on msn or aim and let me know whats going on.

I have an otterbox from WES (for the curve) that I most certainly won't be using. PM me the address to send it to.

If you don't use it; just pass it along.

I knew monkees weren't all bad

What a nice thing to do. There is a need for more people like you.

I've sorta been out of commission the past 18 hours, and wow, seeing where this thread has gone in that time period is just amazing (but honestly, I can't say I am surprised at how everyone rallied 'round).

All who have pitched in--thanks!

custom I always buy soldiers in uniform meals for their service to me and my country. I just love to do that. But these two guys just inspired me so much they didn't have a care in the world and didn't have any possessions except what was on their backs. They were happy and I loved that. Since I have done that so many good things have happened even with the early demise of my pearl its turned positive.

I meant to say the 8330. Good catch

Sent $20.00 from the team over at blackberryboards.com.

I just sent $10.00. I'm sorry it's not much, but we've been saving for my daughter's braces, since we don't have insurance. Everyone's generosity is so amazing and I am sure it's greatly appreciated.

Dawg, I will be looking forward to the pics of your new device when you get it.

As Always.....

Happy Berrying!

Thanks guys I think we have the BB covered now itys just for charity. And Ricky i will be joining your site shortly.

NO DONATION is to small

keep in mind that which is not used to acquire a new BB for DAWG goes to acancer charity. I bet most of us have a friend family member or acquaitance that has dealt with this. Most have been affected by cancer in some way. I have 6 sisters and mom statistically speaking one of them will get breast cancer If I recall properly.

please Donate what you can

we have other Blackberry Forum owners donating

Thanks Crackberry
Thanks Blackberryboards


lets do what we can BBF!!!!!!

bump for obvious reasons

This is very awesome. Of all the various boards I belong too (iPhone,Joomla,DotNetNuke,Treo,Q,Drupal,etc.), I doubt any would do something as charitable as this one.

well good morning everyone, total is at $540

^^very cool.

Dawg, get your thumbs in shape, its a coming.

Wow, what a great community to be apart!

only 2 days without could they have gotten that out of shape?


yup thy could have!!!!

Just sent a little something to help out. If there is anything else I can do to help out please let me know. If you haven't purchased a replacement yet I can send out another Pearl or Curve at my cost, $397 or $423.

Not to be sappy, but Dawg's story about buying lunch for the two guys, along with this entire thread, just about brings me to tears. This thread is a affirmation that goodness and generosity are still alive and well!

Ok boys and girls. I am now the proud owner of a sleek new curve. Total replacement cost 445.00. I will post up a picture as soon as I get it all set up.

Nice! Congrats! Let me know how you like it. I've been considering a switch to the curve.

Again.... Great thread.

Congrats Dawg!!! Enjoy the new device.

A big thanks for everyone that contributed!

This is the best community on the web!

Damn that was fast

Yes, I want to know how you like the Curve, Dawg. I just got a notice from Verizon that I can upgrade now, long before my 2 year contract is up on the 8703e. I have until June 15 for this offer.

Great news! Welcome back. Hopefully you didn't have the jitters for too long

Definately go for it. The Curve (at least on Sprint) is the best device yet that I have used.

Id say go for it daphne so far I have had it an hour and I like it alot. Again a big thank you to all.

damn that was really quick, great work by everyone.

Sounds like love at first sight...hehe. I'll be going down the Verizon store to play with one this weekend. Once I have it in my hand, I'm sure I'll want it.

good thing is you got thirty days to play with it

Money sent to Dawg, courtesy of his friends at BlackBerry Forums, Crackberry.com, blackberryboards.com

Thank you everyone who contirbuted to Dawgs new BB! If people still want to donate money to the charity, i have left open the paypal account, and will do so until we can make a donation to the charity. Thank you all again!

Cory,

I know on Dawg's thread about the demise of his previous BB a few suggested this idea, but Thank you for taking the initiative to get this rolling. Many people have great intentions (myself included) but never take the step to make it happen, thanks for being a leader on this forum.

So from the East Coast of this great Nation to the West Coast, way to step up!

Dawg, enjoy!
