Official: BlackBerry Storm costs a leg - but not an arm

By Nick Mansell on Tue 11 November 2008

BlackBerry Storm tattooMany would give their right arm for a BlackBerry Storm but not many would give their right leg. "T.J." from Toledo, Ohio, has though - or more accurately his lower right calf, which is now given over to a life-size tattoo of the touchscreen RIM phone.

He went the extra mile to get a tatoo of the Storm, the CrackBerry logo plus an "iPhone Sucks" motto to win CrackBerry's "What Would You Do For a BlackBerry Storm" competition. His prize? A BlackBerry Storm, of course.

Over 3,000 people entered - including one who offered to fight a bear. In all 147 entrants were willing to go under the tattooist's needle to bag a Storm. T.J. won through though for not only adding the Crakberry and "iPhone Sucks" elements, but also by adding that his tattoo artist was a die-hard Apple fan who would most likely kill him. Now that's brave

Not that he's the first to get ink done for the love of gadgets. Remember Zune Tatoo Guy? Just remember, kids, a tatt is for life - not just for the length of your contract.

Head on over to CrackBerry for more pics and a full video of the inky deed.
