See BlackBerry 10 and Win wrap-up

Last summer Kevin was going a little crazy waiting for BlackBerry 10, and he started seeing 10s everywhere he looked. Of course, he turned it into a contest, asking our readers to send in photos of their "BlackBerry 10" sightings for a chance at winning some fun prizes. We let the contest run for many months, since it seemed appropriate to wait for the US to see BlackBerry 10 devices launch, and...

Get your geek on with Binary Clock X

If you're a bit geeky, like myself, you may want to check out Binary Clock X in BlackBerry World. There are a few binary clock apps to be found but I quite like the way that Binary Clock X looks. One thing about it though is that it also includes an actual digital clock which is a bit of a let down but I guess it caters to all by doing this. The app has an explanation of how to read the...

How to turn off 'Allow Gestures when Locked' on your BlackBerry Z10

However, there may be some of you out there who prefer to go old school and only unlock your device with the traditional unlock/lock button located...

CrackBerry Asks: Do you use a case on your BlackBerry Z10?

CrackBerry Asks: Do you use a case on your BlackBerry Z10?

I have been an on and off fan when it comes to cases on my devices. With my BlackBerry Bold 9900 I went through quite a few before I just went totally caseless. I feel that after a while when the device isn't as new, I'm fine with showing off its natural beauty and not so much worried about dropping it.  On my BlackBerry Z10 I've gone through the same process. I've tried everything from the...
