Posted by James Richardson on 18 Feb 2013 11:23 am
While the US is still hanging strong waiting on BlackBerry 10, it looks like two more countries are due to have the BlackBerry Z10 launching in the next 24 hours. BlackBerry Middle East tweeted a short while ago that they are gearing up for the BlackBerry 10 launch in Beirut tonight. In addition, tomorrow we should see the BlackBerry Z10 go on sale with two carriers in Turkey. I know that...

Time to get your swyping skills up to scratch with Pin Fall for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 18 Feb 2013 9:54 am
A game about badges - surely not. Well it is but you don't need to pin them on anything. Pin Fall is a puzzle style game where the badges fall from the top of the screen and you must swipe matching ones to destroy them. There is no limit to how many adjoining badges you can swipe but don't let the screen fill up to the top or it will be game over. It's actually much more fun than it sounds...

Outlook contact and calendar information via USB sync coming to BlackBerry Link

Posted by Bla1ze on 18 Feb 2013 12:17 am
If there has been a topic on the minds of BlackBerry Z10 owners that needs highlighting, it's the fact that the newly introduced BlackBerry Link which replaces BlackBerry Desktop Software for BlackBerry 10 devices, currently lacks the functionality to sync Outlook via USB. Sure, there are ways to get it working similarly assuming you have an Outlook.com webmail account but that's not ideal...

Don't worry though, we won't be pushing things back for too long. On our dev servers the new website is looking really good. If we were launching a brand new site we already would have pulled the trigger. We just want to take an extra week to go back through our existing content and tweak up as much of it as possible so it looks optimal on the new design. With changes to CSS styles, image sizes...
