I spoke to my brother early this morning. He told me the trackball on his old BlackBerry Tour was screwed and the phone felt like it was on its last leg, so he was wondering what phone he should buy next. I sort of cringed at the mention of the word trackball - since I first went hands-on with the Curve 8520 back in 2009 I've been on the latest and greatest trackpad device model from RIM.
Then just a few minutes ago I talking to CrackBerry's Adam Zeis about what our next big CrackBerry giveaway should be and how we should run it. He suggested giving away a new BlackBerry to the person out there who was rocking the oldest BlackBerry. A fun idea. We're not sure how we could run it in a fair manner (somebody would have to prove their daily-use phone really is an ancient BlackBerry).

I can remember that prior to Skype being made...
Are more people going down the SIM free route?
Asking if you folk tend to buy your BlackBerry smartphones SIM free from a retailer or on a contract with a carrier may sound like a simple question, but I suspect it will be dictated slightly by where in the world you are. Many people wouldn't consider buying the device SIM free purely because it means paying for the handset in full, up front - something that most people in this day...
CrackBerry Asks: Would you want a dual SIM BlackBerry?
Having a dual SIM phone is one of those subjects that more than likely doesn't get much thought, although many folk would probably like one. The concept is certainly not a new one and for years now dual SIM devices have been cropping up in some regions around the world, but it seems that it has never taken off with any of the top end smartphone manufactures as far as I'm aware.
