Leaked OS 10.1.0.2342 for the BlackBerry Z10

While I'm sure most of you out there who installed OS 10.1.0.2009 onto your BlackBerry Z10, have not even yet settled into it, another leaked OS is now available for download. Like the BlackBerry Q10, this one is sitting at OS 10.1.0.2342 thanks to forums member lbfe and is a full autoloader package for BlackBerry Z10 Models STL100-2, 3 and 4. If you're looking to know what's fixed, updated and...

Leaked OS 10.1.0.2342 for the BlackBerry Q10

Leaked OS 10.1.0.2342 for the BlackBerry Q10

With all the attention the BlackBerry Z10 has been getting by way of leaked OS', I was starting to wonder when the BlackBerry Q10 would get some of the same love. I'm not wondering any more though as a new OS has popped up in the CrackBerry forums. OS 10.1.0.2342 is what we're looking at and while it is noted to be a SQN100-3 release but before I went posting it all willy-nilly, I did test it...

Ten Important Observations from BlackBerry Live 2013

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 24 May 2013 6:51 pm

And note, these observations are not listed in any...

Have you checked out our BBM Channels forum yet?

If you're starting to fall into the groove with BBM Channels, you may now be searching for even more channels to subscribe to. While there is a section within BBM that lists featured channels, there is no other way to discover new ones that may interest you. Of course you're all following our official CrackBerry channel, Kevin, Bla1ze and myself already (if not you should be) so what next? BBM...

How does the Q5 add to the BlackBerry story?

How does the Q5 add to the BlackBerry story?

Last week during BlackBerry Live, only a few major announcements were made. We’ve already discussed the cross-platform BBM launch platforms in detail but we haven’t really talked in depth about what the other announcement means to the company. Yes folks ... I’m talking about the BlackBerry Q5. When Thorsten Heins unveiled the slick lower cost QWERTY device on stage, pretty much everyone noticed...

Bored with a buddy? Why not get it on with Pool Two Player for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 24 May 2013 1:52 pm

I've been pretty keen on playing pool on my smartphones over the years and there has been some decent and many not so good ones available. I recently found Pool Two Player in BlackBerry World and as the name suggests the game is designed for you and a friend to play together. Now, I'm not talking about two devices being connected - with this game you can just use the one BlackBerry 10...

Double your protection with the Incipio Dualpro Case for the BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Adam Zeis on 24 May 2013 12:50 pm

While I'm finding it hard to decide on just what case to use on my BlackBerry Q10, I've found the Incipio Dualpro Case to take top honors so far. With it's simple design and two-layers of protection it's one that will be hard to beat.  Although it has two-layers, it doesn't add much bulk to the Q10 which is great. The inner layer is a silicone skin that wraps tightly around the device while the...

Leaked OS 10.1.0.2009 for the BlackBerry Z10

What fun would Friday be with a new BlackBerry Z10 leak? Here's one to play with before the long weekend (in the US at least). Filling in for lbfe, Kris dropped this leak in the forums earlier today. This one is tricky as it's technically for the STL100-4 but has been tested and works on the STL100-2 and STL100-3 as well. Soooooo, once again - be careful - if you don't know what you're doing...

CrackBerry Asks: Do you think BBM should go cross-platform?

Last week at BlackBerry Live is was announced that BBM will finally be going cross-platform this summer. Android and iOS users will soon be able to get in on the best messaging service around and easily keep in touch with their BlackBerry friends. At first it will just be straight-up messaging, but soon to follow will be full features like BBM Voice and BBM Video. We've seen arguments both for...

Instagram still not "officially" available on BlackBerry 10; here's our first car winner and we're giving away a second!

Apps, Apps, Apps! Going into BlackBerry Live last week, one of the things I think everybody in the CrackBerry community was hoping to see was the announcement of more BIG name apps coming onto the BlackBerry 10 platform.  Leading up to the show and with the launch of OS 10.1, we now have Skype on BB10. For me, that's the most important of the big three apps -- Skype, Instagram, Netflix -- that...

Get the BlackBerry Z10 in India and pay monthly

Back in February this year we announced that the BlackBerry Z10 was available to buy in India but it came with a hefty price tag, which judging by the comments didn't go down too well. Due to the nature of the phone market in India payment is required up front for smartphones and the Z10 was retailing at Rs 43,490. Things have now developed and new EMI Schemes have been introduced which will...

Neil Gaiman's amazing A Calendar of Tales now available

In February of 2013, Neil Gaiman teamed up with BlackBerry for his Keep Moving Project. It was a rather ambitious idea, to combine fan submitted story ideas and art work with Neil's unique story telling abilities into what he titled A Calendar of Tales. Over the course of a few weeks, Neil took to Twitter, asking his followers questions such as “What’s your happiest memory of April?” and "Tell...

Gear up your BlackBerry for the Formula 1 Monaco Grand Prix

The BlackBerry-sponsored Mercedes AMG Petronas team will be hitting the pavement in Monte Carlo for the Monaco Grand Prix on Sunday. I've never been a big fan of F1 before, but of course now that BlackBerry is sponsoring a team, how could I avoid it? Also, the Monaco Grand Prix will be the first time an F1 race is broadcast live on network TV here in the US (NBC). I'll be up bright and early on...

Calling the CrackBerry Community: We want to feature YOUR awesome photos in our articles!

One of the things we realized while designing the new CrackBerry is that the site really looks best when we include real people in the "hero" photos that accompany articles. Given the site's clean look and high quality of design, putting real people into the photos gives it an extra touch of life that makes it even more compelling and engaging. This is especially true when you visit the...
