How to unlock your BlackBerry Q10 from Canadian carriers!

Posted by Adam Zeis on 2 May 2013 2:35 pm

If you're looking to get a new BlackBerry Q10 but one isn't available for your carrier, you still have options. Thankfully in most cases you can simply unlock your BlackBerry Q10 and use it on another carrier providing the networks are compatible (you can use a Rogers device on AT&T for example - more on this below). Unlocking also proves useful if you are a frequent international...

We go hands on with Poynt for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 2 May 2013 1:49 pm

Poynt has been a huge app for BlackBerry for many a year. We recently told you that it is now available for BlackBerry 10 (Z10 & Q10) and as a free download it really is one of those 'must have' apps on your device. The app is currently an Android port but seems to work just fine for me. The only downside I can see is that when you select to view a location on a map it opens up Google...

The first ten things to do with your new BlackBerry Q10

So you held out on getting a BlackBerry Z10, and now you've got a comfortable, familiar BlackBerry Q10 in your hands. It's easy to fall back into old habits when the Q10 feels so much like the BlackBerry devices you know and love, but you've got to remember that this is an entirely new beast. Of course the vast majority of those differences are for the better, but we're still here to guide you...

Unboxing the Bell BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Simon Sage on 2 May 2013 10:47 am

We've reached the thrilling conclusion of our Canadian BlackBerry Q10 unboxing trilogy. We ran all over Toronto yesterday picking up Q10s and visiting with carriers, including Bell. Incidentally, my visit to the Bell store coincided with that of some CBC folks, so I talked to them a little bit about the Q10. I swear I had more interesting stuff to talk about than the shape of the keyboard...

One Week with the BlackBerry Q10

One Week with the BlackBerry Q10

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the BlackBerry Q10 a good few days before it first went on sale at Selfridges in London. To say I was excited would obviously be an understatement. But what I was looking forward to the most was seeing if I could go back to using a hardware keyboard after getting so used to the wonderful one on the Z10 that I've had for around four months. You'll find my...

Education Apps comes to the BlackBerry Z10/Q10 and also updated for legacy devices

I first met the man behind Education Apps at BlackBerry Jam Europe. He goes by the name of George Burgess and what a nice fella he is - and clever! With the exam season coming up here in the UK this maybe this is the perfect time for the apps to get a refresh as well as BlackBerry 10 support. The application itself is free to download and then it's just a case of viewing the available content...

A quick look at the BlackBerry Q10 official accessories

Posted by Simon Sage on 2 May 2013 1:08 am

Alongside the BlackBerry Q10 devices proper, many retail locations in Toronto have been selling accessories. For your viewing pleasure, we grabbed as many of the official BlackBerry ones as possible (third party ones weren't in stock quite this early).  First off, there were hard shells and soft shells, in both white and black. Each installed super easily and looked great with their...

Unboxing the white Rogers BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Simon Sage on 1 May 2013 11:02 pm

What, did you think we were done with our unboxing of the TELUS BlackBerry Q10? Hoho, no siree. We got our hands on a white BlackBerry Q10 from Rogers (which obviously is going right to Kevin).  We've already taken a look at some of the apps that are loaded up on a Rogers BlackBerry Q10, and on the hardware side, not much is different from the TELUS model. Again, branding is kept to a bare...

CrackBerry Asks: Did you get your BlackBerry Q10 today?

With the BlackBerry Q10 hitting store shelves in Canada, there was plenty of excitement around here. The CrackBerry forums were busy with a lot of folks letting everyone else know they had indeed picked up their BlackBerry Q10. For some though, there was a little bit of frustration as not all retailers were able to provide the long awaited device today. A report from the Canadian Press stated...

Monday Brief: On a Wednesday!

Posted by Ashley Esqueda on 1 May 2013 9:10 pm

It began, as many things do with an idea -- I was in NYC for #TM13, along with all our Mobile Nations site editors, Kevin Michaluk, Phil Nickinson, and Daniel Rubino, Rene Ritchie, and Georgia, and we had Martin Reisch and his RED Scarlet 4K camera. So, we figured "why not shoot the Monday Brief in 4K!". And therein began the longest Odyssey in Monday Brief history.   The shooting...

Rogers BlackBerry Q10 offering live TV streaming and remote home security

Posted by Simon Sage on 1 May 2013 8:59 pm

The other night I took in a Blue Jays game in Toronto while getting some quality time with the Rogers BlackBerry Q10. Okay, so I'm not much of a sports guy, so really it was just quality time with the Q10, but it was still great. The Rogers model provides access to a few great services that are also available on the Z10.  For one, there's AnyPlace TV. This is a custom-made streaming TV app...

Poynt arrives for BlackBerry 10

Poynt was always one of my favorite apps on BlackBerry OS and for a while there, I was really beginning to wonder if they'd make the jump over to BlackBerry 10. Luckily, I don't have to wonder any more as the app has now arrived  in BlackBerry World via an Android port. If you're not familiar with Poynt, then you may not know exactly how valuable of an app it can be at times or the features it...

Leaked OS 10.1.0.1627 for the BlackBerry Z10

Q10 what?! Another leaked OS for the BlackBerry Z10 has surfaced in the forums today, again courtesy of lbfe. This one is for the Z10 model STL100-1 / STL100-2 / STL100-3 only (sorry Verizon users). Most of the 10.1 leaks seem to be fairing pretty well for most users so far, so if you haven't given it a go yet you may want to take the plunge. Once again, you'll need a Windows PC to fire up the...
