I came across a great thread in the forums earlier where jfguay2 started up a game to see just how fast people can type on the BlackBerry virtual keyboard. We all know that diehard physical keyboard users can crank out some pretty fast messages, but there are so many factors when using the virtual keyboard (like word predication, swiping and fat thumbs) that it's hard to judge speed....
The DailyMail has posted up the results of a recent TalkTalk Mobile study and the results may surprise you. The study compared over 2,000 BlackBerry, iPhone and Android users to determine how their choice of device related to their personality. Users were asked about their smartphone as well as personality, habits and job. The results were interesting to say the least. BlackBerry...

Would you like to be able to change the font color of your replies from navy to something else? At least yet. By default, the font color when replying to emails on BlackBerry 10 is navy -- not black. No, you cannot change it. Many people, myself included, will find that super annoying. Why is this way? It seems BlackBerry took a page out of the Outlook book on this one...
What type of case would you like to see included with your BlackBerry 10 phone? Reading over the rules from the BlackBerry fan event contest, I noticed that the winners get a free case with their device as part of the prize. While it doesn't say just what kind of case it is, we do know that there should be quite a few available for BlackBerry 10 phones at the start...
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. I can only think of maybe one or two devices that I've actually bought from a carrier and not had to unlock. Apple has offered up the iPhone unlocked in a generic, GSM version from...
Do you use PIN to PIN messaging on your BlackBerry? PIN messaging is one of those features that has been in the BlackBerry OS forever yet not many people know of it and/or use it. Esentially PIN to PIN messaging is like SMS, only you send to another users BlackBerry PIN. Persoanlly I never really understood the need since we have BBM, SMS, email and the like, but...
How often do you use NFC on your BlackBerry? I'm a big fan of NFC on my BlackBerry Bold 9900. I used it quite often for various tasks and it really does come in handy. Being able to just tap my device on a tag and have it perform a function is pretty awesome when you think about it. Knowing that I'll be able to continue using NFC on my BlackBerry 10 device as well...
Do you want/use FM radio on your BlackBerry? Sitting through the last two weeks and examing my "hurricane gadgets" (yes, I still have no power), it got me thinking about which I use most and which have the most purpose. One of the things I've stood by is a little AM/FM radio I've had for years. There is a local station here in New Jersey that has kept us extremely well...
Which notification do you check first? Today's question comes right out of the CrackBerry forums, and I'm really curious to see just how it pans out. Hypothetical situation (well, maybe not for some of you). You get notifications for multiple things at the same time - SMS, BBM, voicemail, Facebook, Twitter and email ... which do you check first? If you're like me you...
