Want to use the BlackBerry Z10 on 4G in the UK? Here are the current price options

Posted by James Richardson on 11 Feb 2013 3:08 pm
If you are in the UK and thinking of either upgrading to the new BlackBerry Z10 or being sensible and jumping over to it from another platform you may well want to consider EE as your network provider. The BlackBerry Z10 is 4G ready on all networks but here in good old Blighty we currently only have one network offering 4G LTE and thats EE. Coverage is still limited to a selection of cities...

EE launches the first 4G LTE network in the UK today - what does this mean for us BlackBerry users?

Posted by James Richardson on 30 Oct 2012 11:33 am
Today in the UK EE have rolled out the first 4G LTE network. Yes, we have been a bit slow here in good old Blighty. However, what does this mean for us BlackBerry users? Well, at the moment it doesn't affect us at all as none of the Blackberry 7 range are LTE compatible, but come the New Year and we will get a slice of the pie. As we all know, Blackberry 10 will launch in Q1 2013 and the...

All 700 Orange and T-Mobile shops to be re-branded as EE by the end of the month

Posted by James Richardson on 13 Oct 2012 5:37 am
It's interesting times at the moment in the UK for EE (formerly Everything Everywhere), who own both Orange and T-Mobile UK. We have mentioned in various posts about the company rolling out their new 4G LTE service in the UK at the end of October, the first network to do so in Great Britain. Today EE has announced that all 700 of the Orange and T-Mobile stores will be re-branded as EE by...

UK 4G LTE speed tests from EE, formally Everything Everywhere - Now where are our BlackBerry 10 phones?

Posted by James Richardson on 11 Sep 2012 12:32 pm
UK smartphone fans have had some great news today as Everything Everywhere (the parent company of Orange and T-Mobile) have launched a new brand simply called "EE". Although Orange and T-Mobile will continue to operate and sell 3G phones, it is EE that is rolling out 4G LTE at long last. Yes, us poor folk in the UK have been stuck with 3G for some time now so today's news is a Godsend...

T-Mobile flips the switch for unlimited data in the US

Posted by Adam Zeis on 5 Sep 2012 11:09 am
T-Mobile is celebrating their 10th anniversary in style - with new unlimited data plans. Announced in August, the new Unlimited Nationwide 4G Data plan gives customers all the data they can scarf up for a flat price. Users can add the unlimited data to an existing plan - $30/month on the Classic Plan or $20/month on the Value Plan. This brings them in lower than both AT&T and Verizon (...

Three UK is a step nearer to 4G LTE - What does this mean for BlackBerry users

Posted by James Richardson on 22 Aug 2012 10:56 am
Some interesting developments have happened in the 4G LTE saga that has dominated the UK news in the last day or so. We told you yesterday that Everything Everywhere (the parent company of Orange and T-Mobile) has been given clearance by Ofcom, the government regulatory body, to roll out 4G in Great Britain later this year. The latest news is that Everything Everywhere have announced that they...

Will BlackBerry 10 be one of the first 4G smartphones in the U.K?

Posted by DJ Reyes on 21 Aug 2012 10:53 am
A few months ago we brought news that 4G may be arriving in time for the launch of BlackBerry 10. Today, it has been confirmed that Everything Everywhere will be start bringing 4G services to the U.K. as early has September 11, all thanks to Ofcom giving them the green light. However, with no 4G enabled devices currently available in the U.K. it won't be such a big deal as of yet. But at...

4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook launching July 31st for $550?

Posted by Bla1ze on 23 Jul 2012 3:47 pm
It's looking like the wait for the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook may soon be over. Yes, we've been saying that for a while but this time around, there is a little more than normal weight to it. The folks over at Mobile Syrup have come up with a document purportedly showing that launch date as July 31st on Bell and presumably, other carriers as well. In addition to the launch date, specs make an...

The yet to be released 4G BlackBerry PlayBook gets an OS update

Posted by James Richardson on 9 Jul 2012 1:10 pm
It looks like the 4G PlayBook is one step closer to being ready. Version 2.0.1.668 is allegedly now rolling out for the few select lucky people that have the 4G PlayBook. I presume these folk are RIM and carrier employees only as sightings of the 4G PlayBook out in the wild are as rare as a Dodo. It was only a few days ago that we posted about the 4G PlayBook running OS version 2.0.1.345....

Could 4G be coming to the UK in time for BlackBerry 10?

Posted by James Richardson on 23 May 2012 9:08 am
I had a meeting yesterday morning with Everything Everywhere, the owners of T-Mobile and Orange in the UK. I wasn't initially going to post the details here on CrackBerry, but the more I think about it, the more the discussions I had may well be to RIM's advantage. The meeting was about Everything Everywhere's plan to hopefully roll out 4G finally in Great Britain. (We are lagging way...
