The Blackberry WoodPro 5000, as seen on Survivor

After seeing Shane tinker with his brand new wooden Blackberry on Survivor last night, we decided that we wanted one too; so we called up Blackberry and asked if we could maybe work something out. Well, not only did Blackberry send us our very own wooden model, but they gave us a tour of the factory. It was a dream come true.

Exclusive photos after the jump!

Update: We’ve decided to auction away our wooden Blackberry on eBay. Check it out

We were so excited to get our new Blackberry. Check out the user interface.

That’s our friend, Ferbs. He couldn’t believe how easy it was to use the wooden Blackberry.

Our first email…

2804061619-00
Checkmark! Success!

2804061619-01
Hey, don’t waste power! Turn it off when you’re done!

2804061620-00
The phone reception is crystal clear.

2804061620-01
You can’t see it, but I’m smiling!

So J-Unit and I then went on a tour of the Blackberry factory. Let’s just say that our minds were blown. Not only did Blackberries come in wood, but also stone!

DSCN0972
Can you believe it? They had a whole basket of Blackberries just sitting around!

DSCN0973
And look at these Blackberries. They just toss ‘em in a pile. Amazing!

DSCN0974
Blackberry heaven!

DSCN0975
What a great day!

DSCN0977
This is what they make Blackberries from.

DSCN0978
OMG! They come in brick too!!

DSCN0979
So many Blackberries…

DSCN0980
More raw materials. They better not show us too much. We might make our own! (Just kidding, Blackberry!)

DSCN0981
The wave of the future: Blackberry Minis.

DSCN0982
J-Unit has a Blackberrygasm.

DSCN0985
Oops! Looks like those Blackberry Minis left a mark!

DSCN0986
These Blackberries are ready to ship! Get ready, America!

DSCN0987
Seriously, at this factory, there were Blackberries everywhere. This one was just lying on the ground.

J-Unit tries to steal his own Blackberry.

In the gift shop, they had a stack of oversized novelty Blackberries. It was awesome. Thanks for the great day, Blackberry. And Shane — keep in touch!

    2 observations, if I may…

    1) It was funny, then it wasn’t, then it was funny again. Awesome.

    2) Note to self: Pack blue oxford and cargo pants next trip to LA.

    In my head J-Unit looks like a milk chocolate Randy Jackson. These strategically pixellated pics make me think I’m on to something. I want a granite Blackberry. It’s wicked fun to haul around heavy electronics.

    LQ,

    I am at least 7 inches taller than Randy Jackson!

    sg-dub,

    We don’t usually coordinate outfits, but when visiting the blackberry office, you have to look sharp.

    Either Shane is a complete freakshow, or he’s thinking ahead by bucking for a Blackberry endorsement deal. I don’t think he’s that smart, though. I vote freakshow.

    that killed me.

    I tried to get sg-dub to do one of these things with a delicuos P’Eatzza but his response was “I have no ide what you’re talking about”.

    so is that the official TVgasm uniform?

    I’m in my room reading this and LMAO. My family wants to commit me. I told them I wasn’t going anywhere without my wooden blackberry.

    At least Shane’s not walking around w/some snail sucking on his ear calling it his Bluetooth – not yet anyway.

    Shane is an unoriginal lame-ass. This whole blackberry thing is a poor imitation of Greg from season one when he kept pretending to talk into a shell like it was a cell phone.

    IM to Shane: Get some original material, asshat.

    Aw, you and J-Unit make a cute couple. Did he walk you to the door?

    At first I thought Shane’s blackberry was all a ploy to seem even more crazy, thus convincing everyone else that he’s safe to keep around and isn’t a threat if they take him to F2. But then I saw his total shock (and lack of a poker face) at tribal when he realized people aren’t voting with him and as he planned, and I realized that he isn’t smart enough to use the wooden blackberry as a strategic ploy.

    Will Ferbs personally deliver the Blackberry should an LA local win the auction? My co-worker (a doctor!!!) friend is quite taken with his pixeled picture.

    My heart, of course, always belongs to J-Unit. Call me!

    Redhead,

    Sadly, Ferbs is taken, but you can buy me a drink anytime.

    Ah, too bad, so sad for Fergie -but lucky me, I get to buy J-Unit a drinkie! Tyra is surely jealous of me now!

    Errr…I meant Ferbie, not Fergie, who also needs a nice doctor. Humpf!
