  1. I actually have had this phone since it came out and I love it… it is a little used now, chipped here and there! But I could definitely use a new one!

  4. omg! this is wonderful! thank you for the chance to win this 🙂 I know the perfect person who is getting this!

  6. My phone is OLD and slower then molasses I NEED a new one! I’ve had this for far too long, its been through so much, from drops to my niece putting it in the toilet!

  7. Inot only would LOVE this, I need it. My phone broke in two pieces on Black Friday. Im still under contract so I cant get a new one for 6 more months. I cant afford to buy one, weve been waiting 7 weeks to hear about DH unemployment. Im borrowing one now. This would be a WonDeRfUl gift. Thanks:)

  8. I currently have a four year old blackberry that is in bad shape. Three of the letters are stuck so it makes typing a little interesting. 🙂

  9. My husband needs this phone. He has an old Nokia flip phone and has used silicone on it to keep it together; in fact this is the second one he has done this to. He refuses to spend the money to get a new one and winning one would be the only way he will upgrade.

  10. I have a pitiful but practical trac phone that I rarely use, only for emergencies. I get a hard time from family and friends about being so behind. But if I had this beauty, I’d be using it!
    I love your site! It has saved me big money this Christmas. Thanks!

  11. Wow, unbelievable. I have only been able to get the free phone offered from T-Mobile. Not complaining, but not many extras. Next month probably going to prepay. Would love to have a cell phone to be proud of.

    thanks for giving away a free cell phone, I really hope that who ever wins, it will be a true blessing for them. Merry Christmas, Paula

  12. Wow–we’ve been talking about joining the world of cell phone users. We’ve held out so far, but now that we are both working, we’d feel better if one of us was always reachable.

  13. My 18-year-old son would love an upgrade from his LG enV touch! I agree with Paula–I hope it’s a blessing to whoever wins. Merry Christmas!

  15. I’d love to get this new phone!! I’m a social networking butterfly and the phone I have now makes it extremely hard to stay on top of my twittering & facebooking…and deal hunting!!

  17. If I won all my friends and family would go crazy. I just might be one of the last people in the world who still does not have a cell phone.

  19. I could really use a REAL phone. I’ve been using a tracfone for years now. I would love to be able to enjoy all the features a blackberry offers esp. taking pictures of my baby boy to send to family. (my phone does not do this 🙁 )

  20. My mom has a phone that is like 5 yrs old and has a cracked face. She says she doesn’t need a new one but when someone calls she never knows who it is cause she can’t see anything.
    PS Thanks for all you great advice, I love your site.

  21. i know a girl who has gone through 10 cell phones… dropping them, leaving them in the rain… sitting on them in her pocket.. she could really use this but there’s no way I would give it to her haha 🙂

  22. Wouldn’t it be great! Mine is at least 4 years old and I’ve been out of contract for 3 years. I’d learn to use new features.

  23. Yay! This would be great! My phone is so old! I keep babying it since a new one is really not in the budget!

  24. I have a contract phone and it always seems that when we are up for an upgrade its a special occasion and my kids get the new phone. In late summer i finally got the upgrade and went fishing 2 months later and broke the screene. Unfortunatly i didnt purchase the insurance!!!! I am back using an old razor and if the # has an zero in it I have to borrow a phone because unfortunatly that # doest work. I could really use a new phone. Thanks

  25. Everyone I know has a blackberry and I was hoping to be surprised for xmas with a blackberry since I have a boring ol LG. But It doesn’t look like the family is picking up on the hints :o(

  27. My mom has an old samsung phone that is probably 3 years old. I would love to get this for her.

    Thanks!

  28. I have the cheapest go phone I could get and the second my toddler gets ahold of it she hits the browser buttons and eats up more of my account balance. With this I could get an app to occupy her and keep her offline. Plus I could rub my sisters’ iPhones in it ; )

  30. My husband needs a new phone that he can get more than just text and calling on, for sure!

    He was laid off, from his corporate job, 2 years ago where he could access the internet & e-mail at any time; now he has a job where he does delievery’s around town all day and is out of touch with current events which really bothers him. I guess we don’t realize how much we take stuff for granted until it’s not in front of us anymore. I would love to be able to win this for him.

  31. I finally got a real contract phone after years of Tracfones & I loved my LG Xenon because it had a touch screen & a pull out keyboard but after a year or so the screen is very blurry. I’m not an Iphone fan and was really interested in the Storm because it had both touch screen & keyboard, email, apps, etc. I can’t afford to buy one, as I don’t really NEED one but I sure would love to have one and if I won it would use it

  32. I went to Blackberry’s website and watched the video for this phone and this phone has got it all! It would be perfect for my home business, capturing those adorable moments with my two daughters and keeping in touch with family and friends. Thank you for this chance to win.

  33. My sister actually could use a phone upgrade; she got one less than a year ago that she had been excited about, but it has already needed to be replaced once and has to be charged all the time. It’s a big pain in the neck, & she’d be better off with something else. Like a reliable blackberry! Thanks for the opportunity!

  35. My Q phone is 4 years old and has so much use the numbers and letter are worn off it it! A new updated phone would be a wonderful suprise!

  38. Phone??? What phone? I need an upgrade from , ummmm, nothing!! My cell died way over a year ago and I haven’t had one since!!!

  40. I would love a new phone right now but I can’t afford it. =( I have an old Motorola that’s probably 5-6 years old. It doesn’t hold a charge well anymore and decides to turn itself off whenever it wants to. Even when I’m in the middle of a phone call! My friends and family get irritated because the phone is unreliable and it’s hard to get a hold of me most of the time. Thanks for reading. Happy Holidays!

  41. Thank you for the offer! I was just in Target this morning, looking at the sale on airtime cards for my GoPhone. I wasn’t sure $6 off a $100 card was worth the investment this week, and the price breaks on the lesser times did not do it for me. So it was nice to come home and offer this post to the general giveaway excitement. Happy Holidays everyone!

  42. My husband could use a new phone as his is totally worn out from many years of use. It would be a super Christmas present.

  43. I need a new phone so much!!! I bought a chocolate touch last year and the touch screen no longer works. It is a nightmare trying to get text and voice messages. unfortunately, I am locked in to a 2yr. contract and have another year to get a free phone

  44. I love Blackberry’s! I have a Blackberry Curve that I’ve had for about 18 months now and could not love it more. It’s battered and bruised but definitely holding its’ own. My husband on the other hand has a Motorola Razr that’s about 4 years old and barely holds a charge. He hates texting because it’s too much of a pain on it and he only uses it when absolutely necessary. I’m sure if he had a Storm he would use it all the time and definitely love messaging and everything else Blackberry offers as much as I do. Cool giveaway!

  45. Our cell phones at my house are all ancient! No keyboards for texting or anything fancy like that. We could definitely use an upgrade!

  46. My phone was about 7yrs old when I traded it in on my current flip phone 3yrs ago. It was so old that they couldn’t even patch the info from one phone to the other. Looks like I’m working on having the same problem in 4yrs!

  49. My phone is a simple, not so smart LG, about 4 yrs old. Having a Blackberry Storm would not only help my business, but also help out my new personal passion – couponing & saving those $$.
    Would love to start texting & accesing the internet more!
    Thanks!!

  51. I have a friend who is a college student and is getting ready for nursing school. Her cell phone right now is pitiful. She sends a text and two hours later it arrives at its destination. It creates lots of problems. She could certainly use an upgrade.

  52. I am using a pre paid phone because I am recently separated and he got the cell phones, would LOVE to have a decent cell phone since this is the only phone I would have, thanks for the chance at this giveaway.

  53. Would LOVE a new Blackberry. I’ve never spent money on a PDA/smartphone before but I am thinking that it would help me get more organized! Love your site & book, by the way.

  54. I’m sooo ready for a new phone and plan! My phone bill is one of our higher bills each month – No overages, extras, etc!! I’ve tried to switch to something else but it would extend my contract, ugh! Frustrating when you know you can save but can’t do a thing about it! This blessing can’t come quick enough 🙂

  55. Thank you for the giveaway! I have a motorola backflip, and it is a good phone, but would love to give it to my hubby and I can have the BB!

  57. My phone is your standard phone with a type pad. I would like to upgrade to a much better phone. I get highly jealous of all my friends playing around on their phones.

  58. Love to have the storm…I need a new upgrade bad.The storm has it all.I just have a LG that gives me a hard time!!!!

  61. I would love this for my husband! He lets me have the cell phone while he uses a tracphone. He is really sweet and deserves a nice new phone. Plus, it’s his 50th birthday today and wouldn’t that be a nice gift?

  64. My sweet hubby is in need of a new phone and I was wanting to surprise him for Christmas. It has been over 2 1/2 years since he got his current phone and now it won’t hold a battery charge (even when he isn’t using it!!) I would love the opportunity to see his eyes glow on Christmas morning! Thanks!

  65. My phone is almost as old as my youngest child (8 years old) as the photo on was taken on the day we got the phone to try it out. It is a standard flip phone with no keyboard for texting or otherwise. I tried to send a text message the other day and could not figure out how to with the letters on the keypad. I had to have my young nieces show me how to do it! It doesn’t help that I am clueless and still haven’t added unlimited texting to my phone and pay .25 every time someone sends me one. I figure that will have to change as I have a son that just turned 12 and is anxiously awaiting his own phone. I would love to win this for either of us!

    Thanks for all you do!

  66. My cell phone reboots itself on a whim – I will be in the middle of a conversation or sound asleep at night, and I suddenly hear the tinkling music of my phone turning itself back on. I could really use a new one – and I’m sure the people talking to me (or trying to talk to me!), would appreciate it too! 🙂

  67. I have a basic prepaid phone, i have never texted and do not know how to, my phone only has like 200 minutes a month and I would love to have a nice phone that i can use stuff like texting my mom,etc.. I also do not have a home phone line so the only thing i use is my very very basic cell phone. It would be amazing if i won! I hope whoever does win enjoys this great phone.

  68. I would LOVE a new phone! My battery is no longer holding a charge and with living in snowy MN with 3 children and 1 on the way I need a phone that is dependable!

  69. Hi & Merry Christmas!!!! I would really like to win this phone as I need it for my business. I am a realtor and need the updates that the blackberry offers. I have a plain phone with no internet access and as a realtor there are soooo many functions that I need like google maps for instance. Hope to win!!! take care Karen

  70. My husband could really use a new phone. He has had his current phone for almost 3 years and although he takes good care of his cell phone, his speaker no longer works. He would like to be able to listen to his voice mails, but cannot, so he just calls the numbers back. He works hard, but would never spend the money on a new phone like this, and it would make a great suprise gift for him!

  71. My cell phone is a Tracfone that shuts off constantly for no apparent reason! I buy minutes very sparingly. A new cell phone would really help us out in the New Year!

  72. I could certainly use a cell phone upgrade. My current phone is 2 yrs old. It is “low-tech”, and all I do with it is make phone calls and send texts. I am looking forward to eventually getting a data package when I get a new phone! Thanks for all your info on so many great freebies & coupons!

  74. My phone is my work phone so I don’t have to buy one but that means no texting and it also means always being on call since I never know if an email or call is personal or work related.

  75. Hi! I would love a new cell phone..my phone doesn’t like to keep a charge on it. Thank you for a excellent giveaway!!! Merry Christmas to you! 🙂

  76. Three weeks ago while visiting a friend my Blackberry 8330 was taken from my guest bedroom by a 2 yr old that she takes care of. We tore up the house looking for it high and low, questioned the child and his 4 yr old sibling brother to no avail. Just last week it was found in a cold air return where the child had thrown it and of course it has been damaged beyond use. I’m still very irritated with the parent of the child who has refused to replace my phone which was gifted to me only 6 months ago and I can’t afford to purchase a new one at this time. I would be ever so appreciative and grateful to win this Blackberry Storm that I’ve heard so many good things about.
    Many Thanks!

  77. We would love to try a Blackberry Storm. Always heard they were great phones, but have never had a Blackberry. We have 5 cellphone users in our household.. if we win it,… would that mean that we have to buy 4 more so that everyone is happy?

  79. I would love a new phone…mine is very outdated. I would love to move up to a smart phone like a Blackberry! Thanks for your website!

  80. I badly need a cell phone upgrade. My sound is messed up so when someone calls I have to put them on speaker to be able to hear them.

  81. The only cell phone I have is for work as I’m on call 24/7. Sure would lov ethe options this would afford me!

  82. I am new to the area and new to BeCentsAble, and I already LOVE it!
    My phone is a red Nokia flip-phone that is at least two years old. It doesn’t even take pictures! My daughter has a smart phone, and I am green with envy. So with both red and green in my message, I guess I am at least in the holiday spirit!
    Please, Becentsable, put me out of my phone-misery and pick ME!!!

  83. My bud, Mary Beth Thomas, could use a new cell phone. She just buried her 45 year old sister 13 days after they discovered her cancer had returned. The flght back from Albany NY thru Chicago to WIchita KS was a nightmare. They missed their connection at ORD as the delayed flight took off early while they were grabbing a bite at the airport. The next morning(after paying for their hotel room) their flt to Wichita cancelled so they rented a car and drove in a blinding snow storm to Wichita. Her second day back as a High School Science teacher, her cell was stolen for the 2nd time this year out of her desk. She would love a new cell phone and won’t leave it in her desk anymore!

  85. My mom’s cell phone is about 10 years old. It is just a flip phone. She really likes to text and has 3 bittons that don’t work. She can’t afford a new phone as she had surgery at the end of summer. This resulted in her being off work for three months. A new phone would be great wasy to cheer her up.

  87. Hello! In the past three months my husband has “lost” two cell phones to the washing machine. I swear he keeps doing it on purpose so that I will give in and let him buy the phone of his dreams instead of the inexpensive track phones we use. I would love to give him a phone like the Blackberry Storm – he has talked about wanting one and would take great care of it. Thanks so much for all the great tips on your site — I love visiting! Happy Hoildays! ~ Shannon

  88. My poor husband’s phone is about to be at the end of it’s life! It won’t hold a charge, can’t dial properly, won’t ring, or notify him of a missed call, but he’s too cheap to break down and replace OR let me replace so this would be FANTASTIC especially since he is away from home which includes myself and our three small children for at least two weeks every month for business and it’s hard to keep in touch with “finicky phone” of his!!

  89. My cell phone is so old and worn that when my child’s cell phone was damaged she would rather have been without a cell phone than use mine….so it would be very nice to have a cell phone that would make my taking care of my family and all of the little details easier without busting the budget. A very nice Christmas present for the whole family. Thanks for the opportunity.

  90. My husband and I both have phones which are over 5 years old. My phone works fine, but my husband has been experiencing a lot of problems with his phone. Some days it won’t work at all, and then I let him use my phone. Since our son is serving in Afghanistan with the US Marines, it’s so important that my husband have a working phone with him in the event that our son needs to reach him. Thank you so much for all your wonderful money saving advice!!!

  91. Well, I have had a really tough week. On thursday my friend’s dad died of a heart attack. Then, on friday my dad went to the hospital b/c of a kidney infection. Tomorrow, I have a funeral to attend. A new phone would help me alot. I could stay more in touch with friends and relatives during this tough situation. Have a happy and healthy holiday.

  92. The issues are to lengthy to describe all the mess going on with my current phone…..keeping my fingers crossed!!!

  93. My husband is in need of a new cell his is one of those old “candybar” nokia’s and he can’t make it thru the day without having to charge it in his work truck.. He uses/needs it a lot for his work and he is one of those procrastinators that will never get around to getting a new phone he just keeps waiting for “a great deal” and complains about how bad his phone is in the meantime.

  94. Hi,
    Ooooo, I’m so excited about the chance to upgrade. I have recently separated from my husband and he is withholding giving me minutes and I have a very basic pay as you go phone. I’ve been a SAHM for almost 14 years and have no income per se. I would give the old phone to charity and the new blackberry would help me sell some things to make a living 🙂

    God Bless,
    Christine

  97. my husband inherited my mom’s palm treo phone. I don’t have a cell. We’re trying to save money so I just have landline. makes sense since I am a SAHM. as far as the Treo is concerned, this giveaway is MUCH nicer. thanks 😀

  98. My phone is probably the oldest nokia phone they make. It has been through a hard life of 4 years with me. It is cracked in two different places. The screen is peeling. It has scratches. I need a new one bad, really bad.

  99. Please enter me! I accidentally got mine soaked in the beach bag this summer and can’t afford another one! Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Drives me nuts! 🙂

  101. My phone is only about 2 years old but the phone stalls or hesitates or doesn’t receive or put the call through. So I guess it’s not much of a phone.
    This causes problems as I am on a transplant team and I can get called into work 24 hours a day. I need to respond immediately. Sometimes the calls don’t come through. Luckily I pay close enough attention to my phone to notice when the message light, lights up.

  102. My son has had problems with his phone for months now. I would love to win this phone just in time to give as a Christmas gift to him . Thanks for all the money you have saved me over the last year.

  104. The phone I originally bought for emergencies only, is now my more regular phone. Unfortunately, it’s pay-as-you-go @ 10 cents a minute — not too economical. Family and friends keep telling me to get a REAL phone that does more than just make calls. This sounds great and would be a huge improvement. Good luck to everyone!

  106. My wife and I upgraded our cell phones a little over a year ago – one day she went shopping and put her phone down to try on something. She forgot about the phone and when she went back a few minutes later it had dissappeared.

    Being the loving person I am I gave her my cell phone and put my sim card in my old phone that you need to hit the button 3 times in order to text with.

  107. My phone is at least 5 years old. I did have a Blackberry that quit working, so I had to go back to my old, now current, phone. It shuts itself off automatically, some calls never come through, and at times, it will take 3 days for texts to come through.

  110. I am in desperate need of a cell phone upgrade! A few weeks ago, someone actually asked me how old my phone was – it’s not a super old phone by any means, it’s just a really basic model that does pretty much nothing. The sound is horrible and it’s a slider phone so the surface is scratched up. No fun!

  112. My husband can use a new phone. Sometimes it rings and sometimes it doesn’t. We can be in the grocery store and he can’t get a connection, but I can. I washed my phone and that’s how I got a new one, but my hubby is more careful than I am.

  113. Sounds like a great holiday gift for my son. He washed his in his pants pocket and has been without one for three months now. Depends on the kindness of neighbors and friends to reach out and touch mom and dad.
    Happy Holidays to everyone and God bless!

  115. My husband’s phone is 4 years old and getting more and more raggedy as the days go by. He desperately needs a new one!

  116. My son’s phone is a tracphone and he inherited it from his older brother. He would be thrilled to get this!

  117. My cell phone is a “hand me down” from my daughter 🙂 So it is quiet old, I am having alot of problems with it keeping a charge-so I had to purchase a car charger just to keep it going 🙂 It would be wonderful to recieve a new phone of my VERY OWN :):)

  118. My cell phone is ancient….at least 6 years old. My friends all make fun of me because texting is not even available with this phone!
    I would love to win the Blackberry. It is sad when your children have better things than you.
    Thanks Becentsable!

  119. I would like this! My phone is almost 2 years old, and it is just a basic phone. I want to be “smart”! lol

  120. my phone is seven years old and it is missing some keys and is about the size of a blackberry when folded. an upgrade would be great

  121. Great giveaway! Enter me please.
    I like your blog and read it to my wife. Keep up the good work.

  122. I would love to update my cell phone – the battery won’t hold a charge for more than a few hours

  124. my husband could use a new cell phone. he an dI have to share one due to finances. with 4 kids going off in different schools and directions it gets stressful with only one cell phone for a family of 6. the cell phone we have is probably 6 years old and worn out.

  126. Perfect timing as last week I dropped my cell phone in a puddle of water!!! ‘Note to self: keep phone safely secured in its holder so as not to damage it!’ 🙂

  128. I’ve had my blackberry curve for about 2 yrs now, and its about ready to give out. I dont even really use it to make calls because no one can really hear me. They say I sound muffled or far away. I know its the phone because when I use my husband’s phone, it works just fine. Now all my friends and family communicate with me by texts. Its just easier for all of us. I would love a new phone upgrade!

  129. I have been comparing phones for weeks and the blackberry curve looks like the best phone for the money. Great website and information.

  131. Well, I would have to give this to my son who is turning 16 and making us feel like we need a second phone and give up our land line to make up for the cost. There are so many options out there now it’s confusing!

  132. Every time I just lay my phone down, it turns off. So I could really use an upgrade. I always wanted the Blackberry Storm too. Hope to win – that would be a Great Christmas Present!!!
