Metal shavings are near instant death to a smartphone's earpiece speakerphone. Even heavy duty cases don't always help. A from-factory waterproof design may just be the solution...
We recently posted about the 'alleged' 5 inch BlackBerry display that had shown up on the web. Whether this will ever come to market is anyones guess but forum member SenorPistachio decided to make up a concept of what the device could look like if it does in fact go into production one day. From my perspective this looks like my dream BlackBerry 10 device and I'd love to be rocking...
Since BlackBerry announced at Mobile World Congress that the BlackBerry Q20 is coming to market later this year and it would be sporting a hardware QWERTY keyboard - along with the trackpad and function buttons, we asked the CrackBerry nation if this news could bring you back to a physical keyboard BlackBerry 10 device if you've already made the transition over to all-touch. As you'...
We posted yesterday that the BlackBerry Z30 had at last shown up in ShopBlackBerry for U.S. customers. It looks like it wasn't the only BlackBerry 10 device to now become available to purchase SIM free as the Q5 is also there ready for you to order. The SIM free Q5 is priced at $349.00 which is certainly cheaper than ShopBlackBerry in the UK are offering, however on this side of the...
If you've been wondering whether or not BlackBerry was still actively working on PlayBook OS updates, it seems there's enough information out there to say they are indeed. Although there's no sign of when or even if it will be rolled out, they've now got OS version 2.1.0.1895 certified and right at this very moment, there's a BlackBerry Bridge update rolling out through BlackBerry World...
Our BlackBerry hating friend J_Caloy is back with another video, only this time he isn't hating on BlackBerry — he's putting it up to a test of might against other devices. With three challenges already in the books for alarm clock, picture sharing and multi-tasking (check them out in the gallery above) he's moved onto a battle of speakers to see which device has the best overall sound...
It's been a few months now since we've seen the BlackBerry Kopi, but today some more images have surfaced with another look at the unreleased device. We still don't know very much about this one, though it's said to have a removable battery and a faster processor than the BlackBerry Q5. Obviously it's got a physical keyboard as well, so it would join the ranks of the Q5 and Q10 should...
I've been a PlayBook user since day one, firstly on the Wi-Fi only version and then on the 3G+ when it arrived on UK shores. Unfortunately I had to ditch the 3G+ and go back to my original PlayBook due to software reasons. Once 2.1 was readily available, app developers started to release their games/apps with a minimum requirement of OS 2.1 which rendered my outdated 3G+ more or less...
BlackBerry concept time once again and this one is brought to us by CrackBerry forum member D_Gui who also gave us the recent Q15 compact concept that understandably had mixed views. This one certainly looks my cup of tea, although I'm not sure we need the screen to rotate, plus it would add to costs and potentially be something that could malfunction. That said, I'm loving the...
If Rogers is your carrier of choice and you've been waiting for them to ditch $130 pricing on the BlackBerry Z30, your patience has been rewarded. Although it took longer than the likes of TELUS and Bell, Rogers customers can now order the BlackBerry Z30 online through Rogers for $0 with the typical 2-year contract. If you're not down with contracts Rogers and TELUS are still the...
