Customize your web browser homescreen icons with Web Shortcut Creator

Posted by DJ Reyes on 3 Jun 2013 4:22 pm

With an awesome browser running on your BlackBerry 10 smartphone, you'll no doubt agree that it's a great experience to use.

Official BlackBerry Q10 hard shell packs subtlety, style, and protection

Posted by Simon Sage on 3 Jun 2013 3:07 pm

One of the many BlackBerry-banded accessories that launched alongside the BlackBerry Q10 was the official BlackBerry Hard Shell Case. Despite the name, the entire edge which circles the device is made of soft rubber, which adds solid grip compared to the relatively glossy rear. The hardware keys remain fully covered (though accessible), and every port has breathing room: the two secondary mics...

BlackBerry Gaming - Then and Now

Posted by Adam Zeis on 3 Jun 2013 2:15 pm

It's not secret that gaming on BlackBerry hasn't been the greatest. For years we were limited to games like Brick Breaker and Tetris as the older BlackBerry devices weren't intended for gaming. There was a decent selection of mediocre games, but nothing that could be considered "great" by anyones standards.  With the arrival of the BlackBerry PlayBook however, that began to change. We saw...

Can mobile gaming kill the consoles? - Talk Mobile

Presented byBlackberry Talk Mobile Gaming Can mobile gaming kill the consoles? Five years ago if you’d told anybody mobile phones and tablets stood even the chance of challenging dedicated home gaming consoles, you’d have been laughed out of the living room.

May is over...

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 3 Jun 2013 11:40 am

I don't think any company, or any person for that matter, sets a deadline with the intent of missing it. Now that May is over, BlackBerry fans and critics in the USA are reminding me -- in the forums, via email, on Twitter, on BBM Channels -- that the company just "missed" two key deadlines.  The understanding by most was that May would be the month that delivered both Q10s and a Z10 OS 10.1...

I miss my BlackBerry charging pod!

I miss my BlackBerry charging pod!

For as long as I can remember, my absolute favorite BlackBerry accessory was the BlackBerry charging pod. I had one for almost all of my devices over the years - from my Tour 9630 all the way up to my Bold 9900. I keep my phone on my nightstand when I go to bed and I loved being able to simply drop my phone into the pod and call it a night. Bedside mode was set to come on automatically so I...

And for my From the Editor's Desk post this week, I'm going to quickly touch on each of them. 1....

I wanna know... does price difference fall into your own Z10 vs Q10 decision making process?

I wanna know... does price difference fall into your own Z10 vs Q10 decision making process?

When it comes to the great debate of Z10 vs. Q10, I'm still personally undecided. Honestly, I like both. A lot. I've been switching back and forth between them every few days and I get along just fine on either. Each phone has its benefits over the other of course. People who love having a physical keyboard are going to be drawn to the Q10 no matter what, but I love the touch keyboard and bigger...

Customize your BlackBerry Z10 with a new battery door! Enter to win one free from ShopCrackBerry!

I chose to get my BlackBerry Z10 in black, and then soon after had some envy seeing how cool the white one looked. Luckily, there are plenty of ways you can customize your device these days. The CrackBerry store has a pretty big selection of cases, and you can find other options around like skins and custom decals if you want something different. Not everyone likes to use a case or skin though,...

Let it cycle through your favorite pictures to help get you through the day.  Okay, so that sounds cheesy but there's a pretty...

Help out Monkey with Go Bananas for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 1 Jun 2013 8:15 am

Go Bananas is another one of those games which is a perfect time killer for on a train or bus. The concept is real simple - you control a slingshot and must fire rocks at the bananas that are scrolling along the top of the tree canopy. Of course - things get spiced up a bit as among the bananas are coconuts. Hit one of these and you lose a life. Hit three and it's game over I'm afraid....
