If you’ve been hunting around Canada trying to find a Porsche Design store, you can officially end your hunt as the first Canadian store is now open. Porsche Design stores carry a huge selection of clothing, watches, kitchen knives, and now even a BlackBerry device -- all of which have been meticulously designed. The store had their grand opening on June 14th 2012 and we were on hand to...
While the Porsche Design BlackBerry P'9981 has been on the market for some time now, us in Canada have had to resort to other measures to get our hands on the device. During the official opening of the only Porsche Design store in Canada, I had the opportunity to sit down and discuss BlackBerry with the CEO of Porsche Design, Dr. Juergen Gessler. Dr. Gessler himself is an active...
Although you could have easily imported a Porsche Design P'9981 from any number of online retailers since its initial release, Canadians looking to get in on the premium device can now pick one up within Canada. RIM chief executive officer Thorsten Heins and Porsche Design Groups Juergen Gessler were on hand to unveil the device and to celebrate the grand opening of the Porsche Design's...
Do you love themes? Is CrackBerry your #1 site for all things BlackBerry? If you've answered yes to all of these questions, and who wouldn't, then I have some great news for you. Once again the forums and twitter have exploded with the news that drkapprenticeDESIGNS and Lucky45 have taken Mini_Banner_Live, what is one of the best themes (and one of my personal favorites) for OS7...
If you're a North American Porsche Design P'9981 BlackBerry owner, then BlackBerry OS 7.1 has just become official for you, 7.1.0.391 to be exact. While we've already seen a higher version of .428 from SmarTone HK but of course there are plenty of those who prefer to install stock OS, so this one is for you. As usual, carry out a backup for your data before updating even if it is an...
The Porsche Design BlackBerry P'9981 has rolled out in yet another country, this time Singapore. While it is more than likely not affordable to most of us normal people it seems to be going down a storm with celebrities. Most of us here at Team CrackBerry can say that the P'9981 isn't as nice to use as the Bold 9900, however it does make heads turn. I took my one to the last BBM...
I saw a few comments suggesting the Porsche Design BlackBerry that I gave away to a lucky reader might end up on Ebay, but that couldn't be further from reality. Thankfully, it found a great home with a deserving BlackBerry fan who appreciates it. I shipped my P'9981 off to Toronto to CrackBerry member Houshinto, and he followed up with some photos of his P'9981, including a photo of...
SmarTone HK has officially released OS 7.1.0.428 for the BlackBerry Bold 9900 and the Porsche Design P'9981. While this is an official release, remember to use caution when updating your device. If you need help along the way, you can head into our help forums or check out some of our BlackBerry 101 articles including How to Install or Upgrade to a new OS. If you do install this OS, hit...
OK CrackBerry Nation. This is it. Today is my birthday... I just hit the big THREE TWO... and this year, instead of me getting a birthday present I wanted to give an awesome gift to one of our readers. The present?
