How to use Password Keeper on BlackBerry 10

Posted by James Richardson on 5 Feb 2013 11:21 am

Having a password keeper on a BlackBerry is nothing new. It has been a stock application on BlackBerry smartphones for a long time. My BlackBerry Z10 didn't come with it pre-installed, however I did find it in BlackBerry World and it is a native BlackBerry app, rather than a third party one. If you're not familiar with Password Keeper on BlackBerry, it's a password storage and password...

Posted by Adam Zeis on 25 Oct 2012 11:00 am

The latest version of BlackBerry App World (4.0.0.55) brings along a feature that many users have been waiting quite a while for. In addition to a handful of updates, you now have the ability to remove applications from your My World list in BlackBerry App World.

Posted by Adam Zeis on 7 Sep 2012 11:50 am

Here's a fun tip from the Adam arsenal. One thing that I always do before upgrading or reloading my BlackBerry OS is take a screencap of all my screens and folders. Why?

Posted by Bla1ze on 13 Aug 2012 3:32 pm

Out of the box, the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook is fairly easy to set-up. If you managed to place your SIM card in the device already, it will pretty much just take control over the situation and connect you right away. However, given that the 4G LTE BlackBerry PlayBook also has HSPA+ built into it and LTE is not exactly everywhere at the moment, maybe you don't want it to constantly be search...

How to add an Outlook.com email address to your BlackBerry

Posted by Adam Zeis on 31 Jul 2012 1:00 pm

Microsoft's Hotmail was once a widely used email service, but in recent years has been relegated to the same place of GeoCities, Angelfire and the like. Today, Hotmail was rebranded and relaunched as Outlook.com, and it just might give other email services a run for their money. The minimalist design is giving new life to the old Hotmail and could have some users picking it up full time. If...
