I took the morning to check out a contest RIM and Rogers were holding at the University of Ottawa called CampusChase, where teams of two run around town like headless chickens on a scavenger hunt for big prizes. Rogers wasn’t quite ready to show off the Bold 9700 just yet (all of the promos were for the Curve 8520), but it was still a ton of fun hanging out with the BlackBerry mascots for awhile. Here are a few pictures of the booths, contestants, and the warm-up just prior to the race. One of my favourites is of the two Bolds getting a little friendly. CityChase goes all over, so be sure to check out their schedule to see if it’ll be happening in your city any time soon.

With plenty of content under his belt, Simon will be branching off a bit to see what other smartphone manufacturers are working on while still using BlackBerry as a barometer.
