Want to give the new client a try a full month before anyone else gets it? Read on to find out how to win a code.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-26099\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve only got five codes to spare, so before you enter, make sure your BlackBerry  is up to snuff (any models made in the last 2 years should be.) Here are the requirements, according to RIM:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>BlackBerry smartphone with at least 64-MB of built in memory (with at least 750KB available) and BlackBerry\u00ae Device Software v4.5 or higher.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>All clear? In that case, winning is easy. Just drop a comment below and tell us a humorous, sad, or otherwise interesting tale of your addiction to either BlackBerry or Twitter. Do they have to be true? I&#8217;d say yes, but there&#8217;s not exactly any way for us to tell &#8211; so feel free to stretch the truth. We&#8217;ll pick our five favorites tonight at midnight.<\/p>\n<p>You guys hear the one about shameless plugs?
