Market sentiment starting to get more positive for BlackBerry maker

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 13 Nov 2012 2:47 pm
For most of the last couple of years, media attention on Research In Motion has been horrendously negative. Even good news would be inspected under an electron microscope, and if there was the slightest possible reason to be negative, the headlines would come out in full force that RIM was, in fact, dead. The common cold was mistaken for terminal cancer. Over the last few months things...

Business is booming for RIM in Nigeria and it continues to grow rapidly - a true BlackBerry nation!

Posted by James Richardson on 11 Nov 2012 3:59 pm
We reported just a short time ago about the new BlackBerry retail store opening in Nigeria and it seems that the BlackBerry market in Africa is getting stronger day by day. BlackBerry holds the top spot not only in Nigeria but also in the whole of Africa. Clearly in some parts of the world RIM are not doing as well at the moment so it is vital that the Canadian company keep on supporting...

Any devs up for a 36 hour BlackBerry Got Game-Port-a-Thon?

Posted by James Richardson on 9 Nov 2012 10:12 am
In true RIM developer fashion the above title may sound a little bonkers, but RIM is all about helping prepare developers with getting their games ready for BlackBerry 10. But fear not as you won't have to travel to this Port-A-Thon as it is 100% virtual. All you need to do is register and log in from wherever suits you best and bring your existing or new games to the website where a RIM...

Research In Motion officially announces the BlackBerry PlayBook 3G+ for the UK

Posted by James Richardson on 6 Nov 2012 9:55 am
This kind of isn't new news as BlackBerry UK managed to put the BlackBerry PlayBook 3G+ on their website last week and we were then allowed to publish our short 3G+ video. Today sees the 'official' announcement from RIM regarding the device. As I mentioned the other day the new PlayBook 3G+ isn't cheap but it will get updated to BlackBerry 10 at some point, although we have no idea how soon...

First look at the BlackBerry PlayBook 3G+

Posted by James Richardson on 4 Nov 2012 12:23 pm
We posted the other day that the BlackBerry PlayBook 3G+ had appeared on the UK BlackBerry website. Between you and me I don't think it was meant to, but these things happen from time to time. Anyway, I have actually had the 3G+ for about a month and while it doesn't bring us too much new stuff to the table it will be a nice alternative to some people if they don't currently use a...

In the Philippines, they are known as an A-list barkada (barkada is a Filipino...

BlackBerry 7 still going strong - New promo videos from RIM

Posted by James Richardson on 29 Oct 2012 9:36 am
With the BlackBerry 10 hype getting bigger and bigger as we draw nearer to 2013, we must not forget that BlackBerry 7 is still around and will be for some considerable time to come. RIM is reminding us of this with a new set of online videos which go to highlight the benefits of using a BlackBerry 7 smartphone over a feature phone. It is one of those videos where you see some footage and...

BlackBerry 10 Jam Enterprise Edition: My Perspective

Posted by James Richardson on 26 Oct 2012 10:35 am
Earlier this week I spent the day at the BlackBerry 10 Jam Enterprise Edition that took place in London, UK. I will be totally honest with you and say that my knowledge of BES is pretty much zero, but I'm not one to miss out on a BlackBerry event because as well as learning new stuff there are always interesting people to meet and chat with. Chris did a great post after he attended the event...
