BlackBerry getting some love from SocGen and Wells Fargo

After drifting lower for most of this week, BlackBerry shares got a nice boost in the last two trading days thanks to two analyst upgrades. For those keeping track, the stock is now hovering around $14.50, which is about a buck higher than Wednesday’s close. French investment bank Société Générale upgraded BlackBerry from a sell to a buy rating on Thursday morning. The analyst at SocGen believes...

Save the Peablins from the Bogeyman in this cute game called Joining Hands

Posted by DJ Reyes on 14 Jun 2013 4:31 pm

This game has been out for a while but I've only just discovered and thought it needed to be shared. It's a puzzle game, I do like puzzle games, and if you do too, it's definitely a game to check out. The premise is that you meet the Peablins and help them find their siblings and cousins in the Whispering Woods by joining their hands. It all sounds fluffy and cheesy but it's a great little...

AT&T ramping up for the BlackBerry Q10 - Demo units arrive, employees receive devices

Although AT&T has been rather silent about their actual release date for the BlackBerry Q10, it's looking as though it's not all that far off now. We've received quite a few emails today alone letting us know that demo units have arrived and just like the BlackBerry Z10, some employees are being handed units for personal use. Rumor has it pegged for June 21st, but we'll see how that pans out...

The Android Runtime on BackBerry 10 - More than meets the eye

Just a few days ago Bla1ze wrote about being able to run almost any Android 2.3.3 apps on BB10 courtesy of forums member xsacha.  What the work around was able to do, simply put, is to enable a permission that allows Android apps that utilize native code to run under BB10.  Previously we were led to believe that only Java based Android apps would run using the Dalvik JVM which BlackBerry had...

The truth about the Q10 from a real power user

We've seen plenty of threads in the CrackBerry forums lately about members praising the BlackBerry Q10. With the US release finally upon us (come on AT&T and Sprint!) more and more BlackBerry users are getting in on the Q10 fun. I've also been a huge fan since I picked up my device and haven't looked back since. When it comes to loving or hating a device, everyone has their own reasons. It's...

Keep your BlackBerry dry this summer with a waterproof case (and what to do if your phone gets wet)

Summer is just about here (though it feels like October in New Jersey) so many BlackBerry users will be venturing out to the beach, pool or lake and no doubt be taking their BlackBerry along for the ride. While most of us never lose track of our devices while we're out, you still want to make sure that you're protected should the unexpected happen. Just as forums member OmarVlogable had some bad...

CrackBerry Asks: Case or no case?

CrackBerry Asks: Case or no case?

One of my constant struggles with my BlackBerry Q10 (well, any device really) is the big "to case or not to case" debate. While I find myself reviewing loads of cases for both the BlackBerry Z10 and Q10, I can never really find the perfect one that suits me for full-time use. Even if I use one for a few days, I'll then switch to another or just go without a case at all for a while. I suppose I'...
