Less than a day after Soulja Boy got his hands on a BlackBerry Z10, he's wasted no time in finding best damn app in BlackBerry World. He just posted a new photo of his white Z10 to Instagram, and our CrackBerry 10 app is right where it should be... on his first page of apps.
It's also looking like Soulja Boy is making good use of CrackBerry's Android App Sideloading guides... with Instagram and Flipboard making their appearances.
BlackBerry has always been popular among the rich and famous, and I'm getting that feeling we're going to see a resurgence as the Z10 hits the USA in the weeks ahead.
And since it's Friday evening as I'm posting this (while having a few drinks), I'm going to take this opportunity to say... Hey Big Name App Companies that are not on BlackBerry 10 yet... GET YOUR ASSES IN GEAR AND GET ON IT! BlackBerry 10 has momentum. It's time to jump on board. NAO!
iToya Mar 15, 2013 at 10:34 pm
Amen to that last line!
BlackistheBerry Mar 15, 2013 at 10:35 pm
Kevin, they certainly will get on board.
You just watch!!!!

I see a spark on the app, does that mean hes a member here
Kevin Michaluk Mar 15, 2013 at 10:39 pm
Means there's new stories for him to read... like this one :)
nhanken Mar 16, 2013 at 1:31 am
Anyone knows if Soulja Boy is a CrackBerry fan? =)
Love the last line especially the last word - NAO, which sounds exactly like the word in Vietnamese - nào ;)

I'm so thrilled to be involved with the promotion of Blackberry, it's a Canadian success story that has been reincarnated by BlackBerry 10. The Z10 and Q10 are just the beginning of an amazing adventure, that will propel BlackBerry to the forefront of hardware and software technology.

Crackberry has an app and nice mobile site, imore has an app and nice mobile site, WPCentral has an app and nice mobile site, Android Central mobile site from 2002 and a decent forums app but no site app fore lack of a better phrase. I'm beginning to think I chose the wrong side of the war. Lol.

hey DeAndre Cortez Way/AKA solja boi,,, how 'bout making a nice big donation to http://www.garysinisefoundation.org/ & http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/yellow-ribbon-fund & http://www.woundedwarriorproject.org/ ,,, i'd say 500k apiece oughta do it since you're "flyin' with Peter Pan with all that green" & talkin' about killin' our vets,,, that's the least you can do,,, or better yet, sign your name on the dotted line & get your ass in a foxhole with the rest of our people over there...

Josh Brolin Mar 16, 2013 at 11:43 am
So where are all the people who were calling soulja boy stupid and how he was too stupid to sideload apps? Now you think he might be reading this site its all smiles now .soulja boys one picture is worth more to bbry exposure than anything alicia keys has done so far.
Midnight City Mar 16, 2013 at 3:59 pm
Soulja Boy, i see you.
bizclouder Mar 16, 2013 at 5:22 pm
If one's got a white BlackBerry, why can't it be called WhiteBerry? That's what iI call mine
Rootbrian Mar 16, 2013 at 5:52 pm
I don't get why one crackberry member is relying on tmz, if they are even accurate at all, to out him based on rumors made up possibly by some mocking website that spreads rumors, or amplifies them when it happens? I don't care what he did in the past, this is good publicity!!!!
SEAWARRIOR Mar 17, 2013 at 1:52 pm
that's your choice,,, it's just not on tmz,,, that's just the link i used to make the point of what this guy is like,,, apparently you're ok w/ a guy that talks about killing service people, given he's never served a day, & i'm guessing you neither,,, this was a big deal when it happened & it shows, i think, just how short our memories can be,,, this was/is not rumor,,, this is fact,,, & if, as a vet, i feel this is a piss poor person to give publicity & promote a brand, then that's my choice...
mkelley65 Mar 17, 2013 at 8:16 pm
I am also a vet and I defend his right to make crappy music. People do these types of things to stir up controversy and gain interest. Ignore him and he's in the bargain bin next week. When did our military become so whiny over non issues like this?
SEAWARRIOR Mar 18, 2013 at 7:09 am
if you consider bringing to light his talking about killing our service people whining rather than defending my position,then you've missed the point also,,, frankly, i'm surprised, even saddened, how complacent people seem to be...
E-FlowElLobo Mar 19, 2013 at 2:26 am
Dude, who shit in your pie? Who cares about what he says in his raps, did he actually kill a veteran? I'm guessing no because he would have been locked up. So chill out. This really isn't the place to discuss that anyways. If you really want to get your point across about Soulja Boy you should reach him or his management, preaching in a website about phones isn't really the best starting point. Good soil helps the seed grow, and as far as your seed goes, this is Sahara dry my friend.
Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Mar 16, 2013 at 7:37 pm
I find it redundant to have the phone app icon on the page of apps. The phone button is always at the bottom
Josh Brolin Mar 17, 2013 at 3:45 pm
I think cbk is a bit star struck, this soulja boy is not a good person to champion for using a z10. This guy instagrammed a picture of "dinner" which included a picture of codeine beside it,all this while the other idiot lil wayne is in hospital for codeine seizures. He also instagrammed a picture of his iphone 5 which he says he loves.
