Gossip from my IT Department.. "We're preparing to support BlackBerry 10 from day one!"

Posted by Michelle Haag on 19 Oct 2012 2:42 pm
As posted in the CrackBerry forums by member pg101 earlier this week: "Just got off phone with an IT gal at my employer. I work for one of the "big 5" banks in Canada... They are preparing to go BB10 from day 1....both phones and PlayBook. The gal who has a personal iPhone even says the BB10 has a better experience, the ideal BYOD product, and keyboard's ability to learn your typing errors...

This BlackBerry PlayBook skin designed by a CrackBerry member is awesome!

Posted by Michelle Haag on 15 Sep 2012 4:43 pm
It's always fun to see what creative ways CrackBerry readers come up with for customizing their devices and accessories to fit their needs. We've seen several custom car mounts and installations and custom snake skin cases, and now we've got a CrackBerry member who has crafted his own BlackBerry PlayBook skin. After creating a template, backsidetailslide cut some 3M brand vinyl including the...

The iPhone 5 keynote makes me want BlackBerry 10 even more!

Posted by Adam Zeis on 14 Sep 2012 1:15 pm
Sitting down at my computer this morning, I shuffled through endless Tweets and news posts regarding the iPhone 5 - just as I have been all week. I read about how the iPhone 5 pre-orders sold out and how excited all the Apple fans are to get their new phones next week. I also got a chance to check out some insight from CrackBerry readers that took time to hit up the forums with their thoughts...

Hey Sprint - You've got the wrong screen

Posted by Adam Zeis on 7 Sep 2012 10:11 am
Here's some Friday fun. As forums member kjjb0204 spotted, Sprint looks to be cheating a little bit in one of their newest commercials. Seen here from the TV ad is a Motorola Admiral - however that's not Android on the screen. If you look closely you can see that the display is indeed showing a BlackBerry settings screen - oops!. Granted the average user probably wouldn't be able to spot the...

Posted by Michelle Haag on 6 Sep 2012 2:41 pm
We have no shortage of great car kits and mounts in the CrackBerry store, but sometimes that's simply not enoughc. Take for example CrackBerry member Mark PPG. He was inspired after watching the video of the QNX Jeep and set out to complete a similar project on his car, modifying the dash a bit so he has a home for his 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook. By relocating the existing car stereo into...

Our friend Bastian had Big Blue for BBWC this year (seen here with Kevin's P'9981) Cruising through the forums today I came across this thread and it got me wanting more. Forums member wait63 came across an old BlackBerry and asked for other members to post some pictures of their own vintage devices. Currently there aren't too many additions to the thread, but I know there are plenty of you...

Your BlackBerry addiction started somewhere, and we want to know where. Odds are that through the years you have changed BlackBerry smartphones like socks, leaving behind the old faithful for the new shiny one. My journey has included just about every single model that ever hit Verizon Wireless since the BlackBerry 8703e. The amazing people in the forums are usually here to discuss issues,...

RIM is rebuilding their fanbase one person at a time

Posted by Michelle Haag on 18 Jul 2012 1:42 pm
Earlier this month Bla1ze passed along a story about a mother looking for a used BlackBerry smartphone on Kijiji for her daughter Claire's 13th birthday. The mother works in marketing, and passed along some suggestions for RIM, poking a bit of fun at teenagers and apps in general while doing so. Shortly after posting the story, the woman's ad quickly received over 20,000 hits, drawing quite a...
