Looking to discuss the BlackBerry DTEK50? Good news! We've now opened up our BlackBerry DTEK50 forums and you're all invited to come hang out.
There are things that BlackBerry 10 has built in that those moving to the Priv are rightly nervous about losing. What seems a little to one person is a lot to another. Bedside Mode is one of those things. Android doesn't have it, but you can get pretty close as one forums member describes.
If this doesn't make you jealous then nothing will. CrackBerry forum member danfrancisco was lucky enough to bump into someone using a BlackBerry Passport and get a few minutes with his lucky hands on it - BOOM! Dan has aired his views in the forum and I can only say he was more than impressed, but I'm going to keep this short and sweet and let you read his thoughts on the next...
Every now and then when devices end up getting released to the public, we often see early prototype versions end up hitting some weird places online and it seems that tradition has continued on with the BlackBerry Z30. CrackBerry forums member boilerkim has come across such a creature on Craigslist and it certainly doesn't fit the bill of a 'normal' BlackBerry Z30. There's info to...
It's summer and that means lots of activities, adventures, BBQ's, beaches and fun in the sun. It also means a lot of pics are going to taken and in the forums, andreydagr8 had a great of sharing some of the best pics you've taken over the summer with your BlackBerry smartphones. Going on a sweet vacation? Take some pics while there and show us. Snapped some awesome pics at a event or...
I have been on vacation for the last two weeks so I've been spending a bit of time catching up on the forums the last few days. One thread I came across earlier caught my eye and really got me thinking. I know the CrackBerry community are a creative bunch, so when the question What cool things can I do with my Z10 was brought up I expected nothing but some great answers. "Buy 99...
All the BBM goodness you can handle, in one place, 24/7.
For some of the growing BlackBerry Z10 owner base battery life has been a concern. Some folks say the battery has been fine while others say they've not been overly pleased with it. In any case, the latest OS update for the BlackBerry Z10 was noted to have over 60 battery optimizations in it and as such there has been an ongoing thread in the CrackBerry forums discussing whether or not...
Are you as excited about BlackBerry 10 as we are? If not, you darn well should be. We're only 19 days away from the global unveiling on January 30th and couldn't be more excited. It seems like we've been waiting forever but launch day is only a few weeks off. If you're looking for a great way to show your support for BlackBerry 10, check out this awesome Facebook cover photo by forums...
We're all counting down the days until BlackBerry 10 is in our hands (notice the nice new countdown clock on the CrackBerry homepage?!), but already our members are thinking ahead about how BlackBerry can further enhance the experience. Cruising through the CrackBerry Forums this morning I stumbled upon this thread in our BlackBerry L-Series forum by member lucky-lad, which proposes...
It's only a few short months until BlackBerry 10 will be released, and there has been no shortage of sneak peeks and a few leaks showing what we can expect to see from the new devices and OS. In the meantime, our community is still growing and we have no shortage of great people here at CrackBerry. The forums are full of interesting people all sharing a common interest, BlackBerry! We'...
"There are two types of people: BlackBerry users, and all the others." -Brian Williams Chances are you've heard about a little publication called the New York Times and one columnist's article earlier this week that regarding BlackBerry users and how most of us are ashamed of our devices and that we're the Black Sheep of the mobile world. In the video above you'll see a clip from...
As posted in the CrackBerry forums by member pg101 earlier this week: "Just got off phone with an IT gal at my employer. I work for one of the "big 5" banks in Canada... They are preparing to go BB10 from day 1....both phones and PlayBook. The gal who has a personal iPhone even says the BB10 has a better experience, the ideal BYOD product, and keyboard's ability to learn your typing...
OK, We DID it! The CrackBerry Forums have successfully been upgraded and are back online. We have a list of tweaks to make and small bugs to fix throughout the day, but you can already jump over and start putting them to use. We have more upgrades planned for our mobile forums experience (mobile website and apps), but this update introduces a lot of awesome changes to the full blown...
Hey CrackBerry Nation! Just a quick heads up that the CrackBerry Forums will be going offline later today, beginning at ~5pm ET, while our tech team gets to work on pushing out a big forum upgrade. CrackBerry is a MASSIVE forum, so we're expecting around 6 hours of downtime as we migrate things over from the dev server and get all the data imported. During this time the forums will be...
Many people up in Canada have been taking advantage of some great sales on the BlackBerry PlayBook over the last couple of weeks. While the 16GB wifi version has been found for as low as $99 at stores such as Staples, finding available stock at these stores has been pretty hit and miss. Some persistent folks have found stock at other retailers and gotten a price match for the advertised...
It's always fun to see what creative ways CrackBerry readers come up with for customizing their devices and accessories to fit their needs. We've seen several custom car mounts and installations and custom snake skin cases, and now we've got a CrackBerry member who has crafted his own BlackBerry PlayBook skin. After creating a template, backsidetailslide cut some 3M brand vinyl...
Sitting down at my computer this morning, I shuffled through endless Tweets and news posts regarding the iPhone 5 - just as I have been all week. I read about how the iPhone 5 pre-orders sold out and how excited all the Apple fans are to get their new phones next week. I also got a chance to check out some insight from CrackBerry readers that took time to hit up the forums with their...
We have no shortage of great car kits and mounts in the CrackBerry store, but sometimes that's simply not enoughc. Take for example CrackBerry member Mark PPG. He was inspired after watching the video of the QNX Jeep and set out to complete a similar project on his car, modifying the dash a bit so he has a home for his 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook. By relocating the existing car stereo...
Our friend Bastian had Big Blue for BBWC this year (seen here with Kevin's P'9981) Cruising through the forums today I came across this thread and it got me wanting more. Forums member wait63 came across an old BlackBerry and asked for other members to post some pictures of their own vintage devices. Currently there aren't too many additions to the thread, but I know there are plenty...
