This morning I was having issues with my BlackBerry Bold 9900 and it got me thinking that I may want to try a different OS version. There are various official versions as well as some solid leaks, so I looked around to find which I thought was best for me. I try not to update my OS too often since it's such a hassle, so when I do, I want to make sure I pick a good OS before I get going. My pursuit got me to thinking a bit and I wondered just how often does everyone else update their OS (on your phone, not your PlayBook)? I know some of you are "official only" types, while others jump on every release that hits the web. So we want to hear from you -- Pick the option in the poll above that best fits you, then leave a comment below with why you choose to do what you do when it comes to updating your device OS. Don't forget to check out our BlackBerry OS superpage for all the latest official and leaked OS versions for your device!

If you didn't already know, I twlight behing a bar twice a week, and I constantly have customers asking if they can use my phone for a "quick call". My answer is always no, but often times my guilty-conscience gets...
CrackBerry Asks: Do you keep the box when you get a new device?
Do you keep the box when you get a new device? I came across this thread in the CrackBerry forums the other day, and I chuckled a bit when thinking about the pile of BlackBerry boxes I have in my basement. I am a box hoarder of sorts - never finding a good enough reason to pitch my old boxes, "justi in case". From the looks of the results there I'm not alone either. I don'...
CrackBerry Asks: Would you switch carriers for a phone?
Would you switch carriers for a phone? In the past BlackBerry devices have been spread out across various carriers. Some GSM carriers had models that others didn't, and most times the CDMA carriers had different models all together. With BlackBerry 10 we know (for now at least) that there will be just two different models at launch - a full touchscreen device and one with...
