Yesterday we wrote about how a BlackBerry 10 Superphone might work, given that it has no dedicated keys. In the renderings we've seen so far - the BlackBerry Milan and BlackBerry London Superphones - there have been no signs of a call key, menu key, or even a trackpad. Based on these designs, it's doubtful even a Bold-type BB 10 phone would have more than just a keyboard. Taking a cue from the BlackBerry PlayBook's OS 2.0 beta, we made a few guesses about how each of the keys would be replaced by a gesture. Dedicated keys, we thought? We can do without them.
In the comments, quite a few members of the CrackBerry Nation were quite excited about a button-less OS, many of them BlackBerry PlayBook owners. But many more were quite dissatisfied in this BlackBerry design change. How do you feel? Could you do without all your buttons? Sound off in the comments.

Should RIM offer unlocked devices for purchase? As BlackBerry users we've always been into finding the best devices for personal use - regardless of carrier - and unlocking them if need be.

If you’ve been following the Kickstarter campaign for the Pebble smartwatch, you’ll notice that they’ve chosen not to support the BlackBerry platform at launch. Another thing you’ll notice is that it’s made by the same people that launched the Inpulse watch for BlackBerry last year. The question a lot of...
Crackberry Asks: Do you want a thin BlackBerry 10 handset or a thicker one with better battery life?
Do you want a thin BlackBerry 10 handset or thicker one with better battery life? Battery life is a constant struggle for smartphone manufacturers and BlackBerry is no exception. Going back to before BlackBerry 7, battery life was something that RIM was renowned for. Unfortunately, these days most smartphones tend to sacrifice battery life for slimmer device dimensions....
CrackBerry Asks: Is there any reason you wouldn't want BlackBerry 10 devices to use a micro SIM?
Is there any reason you wouldn't want RIM to use micro SIM for BlackBerry 10? Judging by a couple of 'sources' we have, it would appear that RIM will be going down the micro SIM route with Blackberry 10. I have been thinking about a poll on this subject for some time now and was initially going to angle it from a 'should RIM use micro SIM?' perspective. We already know...
