Time to get your swyping skills up to scratch with Pin Fall for BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 18 Feb 2013 9:54 am

A game about badges - surely not. Well it is but you don't need to pin them on anything. Pin Fall is a puzzle style game where the badges fall from the top of the screen and you must swipe matching ones to destroy them. There is no limit to how many adjoining badges you can swipe but don't let the screen fill up to the top or it will be game over. It's actually much more fun than it sounds...

Outlook contact and calendar information via USB sync coming to BlackBerry Link

Outlook contact and calendar information via USB sync coming to BlackBerry Link

If there has been a topic on the minds of BlackBerry Z10 owners that needs highlighting, it's the fact that the newly introduced BlackBerry Link which replaces BlackBerry Desktop Software for BlackBerry 10 devices, currently lacks the functionality to sync Outlook via USB. Sure, there are ways to get it working similarly assuming you have an Outlook.com webmail account but that's not ideal...

From the Editor's Desk: Just a little bit longer...

Don't worry though, we won't be pushing things back for too long. On our dev servers the new website is looking really good. If we were launching a brand new site we already would have pulled the trigger. We just want to take an extra week to go back through our existing content and tweak up as much of it as possible so it looks optimal on the new design. With changes to CSS styles, image sizes...

Here's what the BlackBerry Z10 costs to make

We've seen the BlackBerry Z10 from the inside out, but have you wondered just what it costs to actually make the device? There are various bits and pieces that go into making a BlackBerry, from the plastic enclosure all the way down to that red LED. The Z10 was pieced out and together all the components ring in at a total of $154 when all is said and done. By comparison it's a bit higher than...

How to manually check for software updates on BlackBerry 10

If you're anything like me, you are constantly checking for new software updates on your BlackBerry Z10. I always feel like I'll miss out if I don't check manually, even though I know well that I'll get an alert when a new version is ready to download. Granted, new OS updates don't come out all that often, but I still don't want to miss out and be one of the first to grab them when they do...

Three UK now selling the BlackBerry Z10

The last of the major UK networks have now launched the BlackBerry Z10. Why they were a little late to the party I have no idea but you can now pick up the Z10 both online and in store from Three. For the best value you may want to consider the One Plan from Three which gives users All-You-Can-Eat data. This will cost £36 per month on a 24 month contract with a one off upfront fee of £69.

Introducing the BlackBerry Z10 Oreo - the tastiest Z10 color combo!

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 14 Feb 2013 11:25 pm

I love both the black and white versions of the BlackBerry Z10. The all-black look screams BlackBerry, and the white version is just plain hot. Color aside, there is one other difference between the white and black versions of the Z10, and that's the construction of the battery door. The black Z10's battery door is finished in a soft touch rubber that feels absolutely amazing in the hand. It's...

BlackBerry users grin smugly as iOS update wreaks Exchange server havoc; opens passcode vulnerability

You might have heard that the recent iOS 6.1 update has been causing quite a few headaches for corporate users. One issue causes a heavy load on the Exchange server, which ultimately locks up mobile access to e-mail.  When a user syncs a mailbox by using an iOS 6.1-based device, Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 Client Access server (CAS) and Mailbox (MBX) server resources are consumed, log...
