Using BlackBerry Protect on BlackBerry 10

Posted by Simon Sage on 3 Apr 2013 5:15 pm
BlackBerry Protect is a utility that lives in the background, humming away quietly, and for the most part it’s something you don’t really think about - until you need it. Protect gives users the ability to remotely lock, wipe, beep, and locate their BlackBerry device, and in BlackBerry 10, it’s baked right into the system settings. It also acts as a back-up utility, ensuring that you can...

On the Hertfordshire Constabulary website they published an article this week which is clearly geared towards publicizing the fact that smartphones do get stolen but with a...

It has the potential to be quite useful and a BlackBerry smartphone feature that everyone should be making use of whether you see a need for it or not.

Joseph’s most-used BlackBerry apps of 2011

Posted by Joseph Holder on 30 Dec 2011 12:51 pm
There are but a few days left in 2011; what better time to share with you my most-used apps of 2011 than now. I love my BlackBerry Smartphone for the communication tool that it is. I have one or two games installed on my device, but that's not what I spend the majority of my BlackBerry time doing. The messages app and browser give me quick access to the world at-large, but there are several...

Mea Culpa. My faith restored in BlackBerry Protect

Posted by Joseph Holder on 30 Nov 2011 2:00 pm
  BlackBerry Protect is an app designed to rescue irreplaceable data from your BlackBerry Smartphone. It isn't designed to be used as a standalone device switch product. Its intended purpose is be used more as a last result to recover data from a lost or stolen smartphone (and then destroy the data on that phone). Not too long ago, I tried to emulate this situation, completing a backup on my...

Et tu, BlackBerry Protect? The terrible saga of a device switch fiasco

Posted by Joseph Holder on 18 Nov 2011 2:41 pm
  I have been betrayed! The BlackBerry Protect application that I have lauded and recommended time and time again has - in my eyes - failed me. But let me back up a little (and turn the melodrama dial down from eleven). The other day, I finally joined the OS7 masses, getting a brand new BlackBerry Torch 9860 (I really liked the CDMA version of the phone). I know, I know, I'm a little late...

BlackBerry Protect updated to version 1.0.10.50

Posted by Adam Zeis on 27 Sep 2011 9:06 am
BlackBerry Protect has received an update in BlackBerry App World and now sits at version 1.0.10.50. There is no change log (as usual) to go along with any of the updates, so it's safe to assume just some minor tweaks and/or bug fixes. This update is a bit confusing to me as well as I have version 1.1.1.29 on my Bold 9930 (OS 7.0.0.340) so not sure what's up there. Regardless, BlackBerry...
