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...

What’s really going on with Detwiler’s false accusations, and how BlackBerry is handling it beautifully

BlackBerry’s stock was hammered yesterday due to a report by research firm Detwiler Fenton, who claimed that Z10 devices were being returned in unusually high numbers.  From Wednesday’s closing price to the lows on Thursday, BlackBerry lost over $1.25 per share.  It closed at $13.55, down from $14.69 the day before, for a loss of nearly 8%.   The claim seemed absurd, essentially saying that in...
