How about a Porsche Design BlackBerry Q10?

How about a Porsche Design BlackBerry Q10?

The Porsche Design P'9981 was a pretty interesting device but it's now a little bit outdated even with it having arrived in gold. Arguably, it was outdated at the time of release but that didn't matter to a lot of folks. Personally, I wanted one but I couldn't justify the cost for what essentially broke down to a dressed up BlackBerry Bold 9900. A Porsche Design BlackBerry Q10 though, that's...

Hell hath no fury like a BlackBerry/Netflix user scorned

Hell hath no fury like a BlackBerry/Netflix user scorned

Just in case you haven't noticed, BlackBerry users can be very passionate individuals. Especially those who hang out in the CrackBerry forums. Along with that passion, they're also very vocal, and when word came down that Netflix CEO Reed Hastings had never even used a BlackBerry 10 device but had zero interest in making Netflix for BlackBerry 10, the CrackBerry forums sort of blew up, and...

In fact, BlackBerry already has a patent for it all ready to go should BlackBerry CEO, Thorsten Heins, decide to make use of it. Those rumors aren't going away, they're only getting stronger as talks of mobile computing come up more and more often....

BlackBerry Q10 outselling the Samsung Galaxy S4 in the UK

While the BlackBerry Q10 has still not landed on US soil (not too much longer, promise) sales have been exceeding expectations already. While a recent report by ITG Research claimed that Q10 sales were under that of the BlackBerry Z10, it appears that it is quite the opposite. According to Seeking Alpha, the Q10 is actually selling better than the Z10 despite being just one month in since the...

Time for some putting action with Golf for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 22 May 2013 3:22 pm

The game is called Golf but it's more of the putting style to be honest - it's awesome though! You have a selection of 2D courses where you need to try and putt the ball in as little amount of shots as possible. Directing the ball is achieved using an on-screen arrow attached to the ball. Then you need to decide how hard to make the putt. Over on the right of the display is your power bar...

Live from Verizon's CTIA event - maybe they'll tell us today when the Q10 is getting released and Z10 updated?!

** UPDATE: Ok, so that's over. Uhhh... no Q10 announcement. no Z10 update announcement.

With BlackBerry Live taking place last week in Orlando, everybody from the CrackBerry team decided to skip CTIA this year. We figured the...

How to quickly lock your BlackBerry 10 phone when using a device password

If you use a password on your BlackBerry Z10 or BlackBerry Q10 (as you should) you may have noticed that there doesn't appear to be a way to quickly lock the device. Of course you can set the timeout to just a minute and your phone will lock on its own, but what if you want to lock it immediately? On older BlackBerry devices, if you had a password enabled, a Password Lock icon would appear on...

Here's one for you Liverpool Football Club fans - LFC Connect for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 22 May 2013 5:36 am

LFC Connect (Liverpool Football Club) will pretty much be mainly of interest to UK football fans but considering the BlackBerry subscriber base we have here in Great Britain I thought this one was well worth sharing. The application has been natively built by Liverpool Football Club for BlackBerry 10 so I expect to see many more of the premiership teams to follow suit. Anyway, on to the...
