Between the hair and moustache, things are getting creepy... but can you name that BB?! I'm normally a pretty busy guy, but this past week was busier and crazier than normal, with sooo many different things going on at the same. It appears the craziness is going to continue this week -- and I only have 10 minutes to write this -- so am going to cheat and dump my thoughts in bullet...
Late Night Ramblings... As I type this week's From the Editor's Desk post on a Sunday night/Monday morning at 4:30am, it's not BlackBerry that I'm thinking about at the moment, but Microsoft and Windows Phone. Later today Microsoft will officially be launching Windows Phone 8. Our sister site Windows Phone Central has been long overdue for a site refresh, so we pushed out a big...
I'll do anything to make sure I win this BB10 keyboard typing contest! ;) If you read my articles last week, you have no doubt noticed I am having a lot of fun putting my BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha B device to use. No, it's not final hardware. Nor is it final software. The version of BB10 loaded up on it is a stripped down developer preview. That said, between the flow UI and a few...
BlackBerry 10 will mark a new beginning for Research In Motion. That means for many of us CrackBerry users who upgrade to the latest BlackBerry phone as soon as it's available, it will also mark a fond farewell to the legacy BlackBerry OS. All of us on the CrackBerry editorial team are really looking forward to BlackBerry 10. Change can often be scary, but in this case it's all...
If you follow me on twitter, you'll know I woke up to a big surprise this morning.... WINTER. Seriously. I know I live in Winterpeg, but it doesn't usually start on October 5th. So for those of you around the globe who think of snow as a novelty, I headed outside to record a little catch up From the Editor's Desk video. Hit the video above and enjoy the quick update. It's...
No "editor's desk" this week... we're live on location in San Jose for BlackBerry Jam Americas! Hit the video above for our official CrakBerry hello. Things are going to be CRAZY on the blogs here tomorrow morning, so be sure to tune in for all our coverage, which kicks off with the keynote live blog at 8:30am PT / 11:30am ET. Don't miss it!
Apologies on being a little late this week on my From the Editor's Desk post (this shiz should have been up Sunday night!), but it's been a crazy few days in the life of CrackBerry Kevin. Things are mainly back to normal again, so now I'm playing catch up and hustling to get a bunch of things off my plate before Saturday, which is when I fly to San Jose for next week's BlackBerry Jam...
The BlackBerry Gods intervened this morning and have pretty much put an end to my visit with Android as part of the Mobile Nations World Tour (for the details of what happened, see this post). Long story short, I went for a jog this morning -- without the phone -- returned home, picked it up with sweaty / shaky hands and proceeded to drop it on the floor. I guess the Gorilla glass wasn'...
I love today. I've always viewed today -- the Tuesday following Labor Day Monday -- as the first day of what I refer to as GO TIME. Summer is over. Holidays are finished. I'm rested, rejuvenated and full of energy and ready to hustle. Over the years, whether it's been back to school or back to work, the next four months leading up to the Christmas break (where I recharge my batteries...
If you're an astute observer of mobile in the tech media, you may have noticed it's feeling like the tide is beginning to turn in favor of BlackBerry. I've written before that RIM is losing out on potential sales every moment that BlackBerry 10 is not on the market. That's true. What's also true is that every day that passes is bringing us closer to that anticipated day - the day...
