Getting started with your BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Adam Zeis on 1 May 2013 12:31 pm

Your new BlackBerry Q10 is in hand. You've pulled it out of the box, put the battery in and powered it on -- now what? There are plenty of things you can do with your new device, but before you dive in you'll want to start slow with things like logging in with your BlackBerry ID, setting up some accounts, tweaking your notifications and choosing a wallpaper (for starters). We've got plenty of...

How to sideload Android applications to the BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Adam Zeis on 1 May 2013 10:56 am

When it comes to apps on the BlackBerry Q10, there is a huge selection available in BlackBerry World. For those times when you can't quite find what you need however, sideloading an Android app may be the way to go. While many users are purists and refuse to load up non-BlackBerry applications, others (like the entire CB team) know that having the option to load up Android apps is just an...

When seeking out an app or game in BlackBerry World, you have the ability to scan a barcode using your BlackBerry Z10 or BlackBerry Q10 to quickly access the application on your device.

How to access your PC files from your BlackBerry 10 device

Posted by Simon Sage on 30 Apr 2013 10:20 am

One of the hidden gems in BlackBerry 10.1 is a new feature for Link that allows you to remotely access files on your PC from your BlackBerry Q10 or BlackBerry Z10. Yes, you can do this when you're on the cellular network, far away from your home's Wi-Fi. This, in a nutshell, is awesome. Sure, there are a few reputable third parties that provide this kind of service, but having the...

Top ten typing and keyboard tips for the BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Simon Sage on 26 Apr 2013 12:56 pm

If the BlackBerry Q10 is becoming well-known for anything, it’s the keyboard. In fact, it wouldn’t be a stretch to say that the Q10 is the only phone for anyone really invested in a strong typing experience. Over the years, BlackBerry has amassed a wide range of subtle optimizations that have really defined the experience, and many of them found their way to BlackBerry 10. We’re going to plow...

How to change the volume key action on BlackBerry 10.1

Posted by Adam Zeis on 25 Apr 2013 11:37 am

One of our big gripes with BlackBerry 10 was the fact that you weren't able to change the notification/ringer volume using the volume buttons. Surprisingly the buttons only allowed for media volume control, which just seemed kind of strange. Thankfully in OS 10.1 you now have the option to choose what actions the volume buttons take - meaning you can set them to control either your notification...

The full list of BlackBerry Q10 keyboard shortcuts

Posted by Bla1ze on 24 Apr 2013 2:06 pm

When the announcement of the BlackBerry Q10 came long ago, one key question keyboard loving BlackBerry fans had was whether or not BlackBerry had included the classic keyboard shortcuts everyone had come to know and love. Those shortcuts, most would say, help make a BlackBerry a BlackBerry and removing them would disrupt the experience. Luckily, we don't have to wonder what a QWERTY BlackBerry...

How to turn off 'Allow Gestures when Locked' on your BlackBerry Z10

Posted by DJ Reyes on 12 Apr 2013 1:32 pm

One of the coolest features of the BlackBerry 10 platform is the swipe to unlock feature. A feature that I have become so used to that every touchscreen phone I now pick up I try to swipe up to unlock. It is definitely a feature I have come to love. However, there may be some of you out there who prefer to go old school and only unlock your device with the traditional unlock/lock button located...
