I’ve been a bit slack in my BlackBerry 101 lectures as of late – I blame the Smartphone Round Robin, all the Contests we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger...

BlackBerry goes high-tech on their YouTube ad for the BlackBerry Z10

Posted by Zach Gilbert on 5 Mar 2013 9:21 am

BlackBerry had said on many accounts that with the launch of the BlackBerry Z10 they would be increasing their marketing efforts like never before. Today I received an email from a CrackBerry reader showing a style of advertising that I've personally never seen. The ad was for the BlackBerry Z10 and was featured on the YouTube homepage, nothing crazy here, but wait. The advertisement was...

Update: YouTube working again on BlackBerry OS 7.1 / 7 phones!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 18 Feb 2013 7:35 am

* Wondering what the cause was? Click Here. * Good news! I just received word that YouTube is once again working on BlackBerry OS 7.1 / 7 devices. If you were having issues watching YouTube videos on your BlackBerry phone (the issues began this past Thursday, only messing up OS 7.1 / 7 devices), give it a go now. Things should be working per usual once again.

BlackBerry Z10 ads hit web and print

Posted by Simon Sage on 7 Feb 2013 12:43 pm

Now that the BlackBerry 10 advertising train has left the station, we're seeing the Z10 pop up all over the place. The London Evening Standard had a huge spread featuring our beloved new device, plus YouTube videos are now starting to show off the software features in pre-roll ads. Of course, this all kicked off with the coy Super Bowl ad, which was followed up with a few other TV spots....

New 3al6ayer app for BlackBerry users in the Middle East

Posted by James Richardson on 7 Nov 2012 5:29 am

We just got some news in hot of the press from RIM in the Middle East which makes a nice change, but we are making an effort here at CrackBerry to cover as many continents as possible. Since television content is not the best in the region, many people have taken to YouTube to launch their own Arabic shows. These have become huge hits with the population especially because of the satirical...

How to delete applications from BlackBerry App World

Posted by Adam Zeis on 25 Oct 2012 11:00 am

The latest version of BlackBerry App World (4.0.0.55) brings along a feature that many users have been waiting quite a while for. In addition to a handful of updates, you now have the ability to remove applications from your My World list in BlackBerry App World. This is great news since, if you're like me, you have probably loaded up the list with plenty of apps you no longer have a use for....

Download YouTube videos for offline viewing with TubeMate for the BlackBerry PlayBook

Posted by Michelle Haag on 11 Sep 2012 4:22 am

What do you do when there are videos on YouTube that you want to save to watch later on your BlackBerry PlayBook? There are several options for bookmarking them, but what if "later" is a time when you don't have Wifi available? The answer (short of buying a 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook, of course) is to download the video so that you can watch it whenever and wherever you please. Enter TubeMate, a...
