Browser Fun: Check out these Chrome Experiments in the BlackBerry 10 browser

If there was one single thing that I had to say was vastly improved from previous generation BlackBerry smartphones it's certainly the browser. The BlackBerry 10 browser is awesome for everyday usage and for some, it's the best 'app' on a BlackBerry 10 device period. That's not to say it's perfect but it works amazingly well and I don't really have any huge problems with it. If you're looking to...

I have been a little quiet on the good 'ol CrackBerry blogs the past couple of weeks, ever since I went to NYC to interview Kristian Tear two weeks ago (almost to the hour!) for the launch of the BlackBerry Q10 in the USA. The following day was the amazing Talk Mobile Launch Party, upon which I pulled an all-nighter to catch my early Friday morning flight into Montreal for a weekend of awesome...

How to get Snapchat on your BlackBerry

If you're into sending photos to your friends but don't want the files lingering around - Snapchat is the app for you. It's a simple free app that lets you send photos or videos to your contacts with a set expiration time - so they'll have say, 4 seconds to see it before it's no longer available. It's a bit of a novelty but still fun to play around with. Unfortunately Snapchat is not currently...

Paid Apps: How much is too much?

This week our Talk Mobile discussion is all about mobile apps. One thing in particular is the long-running debate of just how much is too much to pay for an app. As mobile users, we want apps that are inexpensive or better yet, free. This is another opinion that varies by user however. While some are willing to dish out whatever they have to for an app, others don't want to cough up more than $0...
