I came across this post from our good friend Al Sacco yesterday, and it got me thinking a bit. BlackBerry 10 is heading our way soon and there are lots of questions left unanswered. In just a few days, eager developers will get their hands on the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha prototype device during BlackBerry Jam, and while we've been reassured it's not a final production unit by any means, it will give some sense of what is in store for BlackBerry 10.
One thing I love about my BlackBerry is that it has a removable battery. I like that I can charge up 2 or 3 spares when I'm on the go (at BlackBerry World for example) and easily swap out a new one instead of having to plug in to charge. I know many of you feel the same, but with devices like the iPhone, Droid 4, HTC One X and plenty of others heading the way of non-removable batteries, it leaves us wondering if BlackBerry 10 will do the same? BlackBerry 10 devices will be modeled after the BlackBerry PlayBook which itself has no removable battery.
So what we want to know is if you'll still want to use a BlackBerry 10 device with a permanent battery. I say if the battery life is good awesome then I have no problem, but if I have to constantly plug in my device during the day, it may be more than a bit frustrating. Let us know in the poll above, then hit up the comments for more.
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: Would you buy the Pebble E-Paper watch if it supported BlackBerry 10?
Would you buy the Pebble E-Paper watch if it supported BlackBerry 10? 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: 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...
From the forums: The BlackBerry PlayBook 10 concept and this one looks a real beauty
Currently, as far as we know, another PlayBook isn't on the cards anytime soon for BlackBerry. That doesn't stop our CrackBerry forum members from wanting a new and improved BlackBerry 10 tablet though. Andreas Kimishis1 has come up with yet another concept and I must say that it looks glorious. Since BlackBerry confirmed that the original PlayBook would not a get BlackBerry 10 update...
