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...

BlackBerry Curve 9320 in red coming soon to O2 UK

Posted by DJ Reyes on 10 Aug 2012 6:38 pm
A week ago we saw Vodafone introduce a few new colour ranges to the BlackBerry Curve 9320 line - Vivid Violet and Classic Blue, with Pink releasing later in the summer. The Curve line has always seen a variety of colours so it's no surprise that there are a range of colours available for the Curve 9320. O2 UK will be releasing a red version, a colour that has been quite popular in previous...

PC World discounts BlackBerry PlayBook again in the UK

Posted by DJ Reyes on 27 Jul 2012 12:57 pm
We have already enjoyed the low pricing of the BlackBerry PlayBook in the U.K. since the end of last year when we saw the 16GB model go down to £169, 32GB at £199 and 64GB at £249. The prices have pretty much remained the same, give and take a few quid depending on where you got one. It seems that PC World has took to pricing down the BlackBerry PlayBook again. While the 64GB model is still...

How good is Telmap Navigator, the free voice guided sat nav app for UK BlackBerry users?

Posted by James Richardson on 17 Jun 2012 4:29 pm
I have used dozens of sat nav apps over the years on smartphones but have never found a great one for BlackBerry, until now! Taking all the others into consideration there are two main things I look for when deciding if the app is for me or not. The first is ease of use and the second is how aesthetic it is. Maybe the latter of the two is not as important for everyone but I'm kind of fussy and...

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...

New BlackBerry commercials land in the UK

Posted by James Richardson on 21 May 2012 10:19 am

This time the adverts are targeting specific features and devices. The first is...
