From the forums: Verizon Webinar BlackBerry PlayBook FAQ notes that native email, calendar and contacts are on the way!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 28 Mar 2011 4:41 pm
Forums member mediq91 dropped a bit of good info in the forums today in the form of a BlackBerry PlayBook FAQ taken from a Verizon webinar. The document contains a good summary of answers to all the common PlayBook questions like specs and BlackBerry Bridge, but nothing really new that we haven't seen before. It is good to see more solid information coming straight from RIM however. The cool...

Great feature or just plain annoying? Shift and delete erases your message in BlackBerry Messenger

Posted by Adam Zeis on 7 Mar 2011 11:50 am
  Shift and delete erases your message in BBM - do you like this "feature"?survey software   When it first started happening I thought it was just a fluke, but then as it happened more and more it became super annoying. When using BlackBerry Messenger I (as well as many others) discovered that hitting "shift + delete" in BlackBerry Messenger magically erases your entire message. Now,...

Zombie Horror Novel Written on BlackBerry by CrackBerry member sees release (stars me as the Michaluk virus...woohoo!)

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 27 Jan 2011 12:28 pm
Writing a novel is no easy task. For most people it's too daunting to even think about starting, never mind finishing. But how about writing a novel on your BlackBerry? Pure craziness in my opinion, but that's exactly what CrackBerry member Jessica Meigs (a_silent_song) did. She recently released her first novella in a five-part series, called The Becoming: Outbreak.  The novel features a...

What is your backlight timeout?customer surveys   What is your screen brightness?online survey   Checking through the forums today I came across this thread about screen brightness. It gave me the idea to toss up a two-part poll here to get some better numbers. Mixed in with the tons of settings on your device, the brightness level is one that many users tweak right off the bat. There...

Full BlackBerry 6 Bold 9700 6.0.0.344 leak bugs and impressions review

Posted by Team CrackBerry on 19 Nov 2010 10:29 am
[This post comes from our forums courtesy of Alex K. The original thread can be seen here] Of course this being a leak and especially with no official releases for the 9700 yet, it's to be expected there to be some bugs. In my opinion however, they definitely outweigh all of the functionality that comes with BlackBerry 6. As a heads up, some of the things I mention will likely overlap...

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 26 Oct 2010 10:32 am
Somebody has to be first, right? I guess it shouldn't come as any surprise then to see the first third party app to be released for the BlackBerry PlayBook be a CrackBerry Launcher app! While it's still an early build and only a few people in the world actually have BlackBerry PlayBooks right now to use it on, our friends at ShaoSoft got playing with the newly released BlackBerry Tablet OS SDK...

Custom BBM avatars change face when highlighted

Posted by Adam Zeis on 5 Oct 2010 12:11 pm
The wonders of BlackBerry Messenger never cease to amaze me. Most recently I noticed a few of my contacts had some fancy avatars that when highlighted change to a different image. Most notably they look like a standard icon, then change to Superman, Spiderman or some other superhero type when you move over them. Very cool and very odd at the same time. After some recon I came across this...
