BlackBerry Live 2013 - Day 1 wrap-up

The CrackBerry crew just wrapped up their first day at BlackBerry Live 2013, and even though things don't get officially started until tomorrow, there was still plenty to do. I didn't get in until the late afternoon thanks to a missed connection on Sunday resulting in an impromptu roadtrip from Tampa to Orlando with some nice guys from BlackBerry and BitHeads, but from what the guys tell me, the...

Hands-on with the T-Mobile BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Simon Sage on 13 May 2013 7:39 pm

While cruising the BlackBerry Live 2013 showcase, we managed to check out T-Mobile's BlackBerry Q10. The model number showed up as SQN-100-5 as expected, and it was running OS 10.1.

Physical branding on the device...

Hands-on with the Sprint BlackBerry Q10

Posted by Simon Sage on 13 May 2013 7:02 pm

Here at BlackBerry Live 2013 we got our grubby mitts all over Sprint's upcoming BlackBerry Q10. Sprint took a pass on the Z10 for the time being, but there are plenty of QWERTY loyalists bound to be interested in the Q10. Obviously you won't be seeing any serial numbers on the retail unit, and the reps at the show were coy about whether or not we'd see any physical branding on the device. We...

Do huge Q10 sales save BlackBerry longer term?

Ever since the Q10 started selling across a few markets, we’ve seen strong positive reports about the launch. We’ve heard that BlackBerry is manufacturing 3 Q10s for every Z10 right now, and this metric was also reported by Bluefin in their report from last week.  Not too long ago I wrote a quick editorial about the comment Thorsten Heins made to Bloomberg regarding his expectation to sell tens...
