From the Editor's Desk: the BlackBerry Gods have spoken

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 10 Sep 2012 1:51 pm
The BlackBerry Gods intervened this morning and have pretty much put an end to my visit with Android as part of the Mobile Nations World Tour (for the details of what happened, see this post). Long story short, I went for a jog this morning -- without the phone -- returned home, picked it up with sweaty / shaky hands and proceeded to drop it on the floor. I guess the Gorilla glass wasn't...

Is that a Samsung Galaxy S3? BlackBerry needs to make sure they don't pull a HTC

The Mobile Nations World Tour continues... People keep thinking my HTC One X (right) is a Galaxy S3  The 2012 Olympic Games are coming to an end this weekend. Every spare moment I've had over the past two weeks I've turned on the tv to watch the awe-inspiring performances of some of the world's most amazing athletes. At the same time, I've also sat in front of the television in awe of Samsung...

The $500 clock app in App World I bought was a better deal than this $200 Vuvuzela Android app

Oops. I did it again. The Mobile Nations World Tour continues and today I did the Android-equivalent of buying a $500 clock app from App World. I bought a $200 Vuvuzela app from Google Play. That was garbage. And... showed me a photo of an iPhone. Hilarious. Stupid. But the team I was cheering for in the EURO2012 quarter finals won, so maybe it wasn't a complete waste of money.  Watch...

From the Editor's Desk: A busy and fun week

Yes, I'm using an Android phone for the month of June as part of the Mobile Nations World Tour, so don't act all surprised if you see me tweet from an Android client.  Happy Father's Day to all the CrackBerry dads out there!! I have to give a special shout out to my pops who I didn't get a chance to see today (I ran in a half marathon and couldn't make the trip out of the city). He reads...

Mobile Nations World Tour Update: Kevin says hello to Android and hangs out on an Android Central podcast

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 8 Jun 2012 12:02 pm
It's on. I announced the Mobile Nations World Tour 2012 earlier this week, which has me spending the next few months getting to better know the competition as we wait for BlackBerry 10. My first stop on the tour is Android and yesterday I said hello to the audience over at our sibling site Android Central, who *mainly* welcomed me with open arms (turns out there are a lot of ex-BB users...

Mobile Nations World Tour 2012 - To get ready for BlackBerry 10, CrackBerry Kevin is visiting the competition

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 4 Jun 2012 3:31 pm
I'm excited for BlackBerry 10. It's torture waiting for it. Unfortunately, it's still a few months away and between now and then we are not expecting to see much from BlackBerry in terms of new devices (though I did just grab a new Curve 9320 that I'm going to do up a review on). That being the case, I'm going to turn the next few months of waiting for BlackBerry 10 into a productive...
