The weather is turning pretty crappy here in New Jersey this week. I'm sure there are plenty of other places (like the Peg) that are way colder, but for us winter is well underway. I've busted out my snow tires, shovels and winter clothes, making sure not to forget my favorite accessory of all. I'll admit that when you get to the point that you need touchscreen gloves for your phone you...

Just over a month ago I wrote a post about the potential of BBM once it goes cross platform. At the end of that post, I decided to run a little contest for a free BlackBerry Z30, iPhone 5S/5C or an Android phone of the winner's choosing, and all you had to do to enter was follow me on Twitter (@CrackBerryKevin) and send out a tweet about the contest. Last week finally saw the insanely...

Long time readers of CrackBerry know I'm a big fan of analytics and have often looked to Google Trends to gain insight into the demand for things like phones and apps. For the most part, looking at Google Trends data over the years has provided a pretty good representation of actual demand over time in the mobile realm, especially when comparing multiple items in a similar category....
This weekend hasn't gone exactly as planned for many people. BBM didn't get launched on other platforms quite as it was supposed to, and lots of people are confused and upset about it. We get that. We're all in this together, and this too shall pass, in one way or another. However, it's still the weekend, and in honor of that we have cooked up an awesome little plan where we're gonna...
It's iPhone 5s launch day but who cares?! You can win a BlackBerry Z30!!
