Gordon Ramsey gives some advice to RIM's new CEO Thorsten Heins on CBC's "This Hour has 22 Minutes"

Posted by Michelle Haag on 12 Feb 2012 3:51 pm
[Youtube link for mobile viewing] It seems like just about everyone has weighed in on what's best for Research In Motion, and how they can turn their current situation around. Analysts have analyzed, bloggers have blogged, and everyone else has tweeted, commented, or Facebooked their feelings on the future of the BlackBerry maker. It only makes sense that celebrity chef and TV personality...

Full Disclosure: I've just doubled my investment (tripled my shares) in Research In Motion stock

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 8 Feb 2012 11:22 am
I'm still in Amsterdam winding down BlackBerry DevCon Europe, but I just couldn't wait to get home to call my broker to place an order to double up my investment in Research In Motion. Readers of CrackBerry will remember I bought my first "symbolic" share of RIMM stock leading up to the company's Annual General Meeting of Shareholders this past June at a price of $27.75. With that share now...

An unintended consequence of switching from BlackBerry to iPhone

Posted by Joseph Holder on 15 Jan 2012 2:33 pm
I am fond of saying there is no perfect Smartphone; there is only the Smartphone that is perfect for you. Whether your beloved device runs Android; BlackBerry; iOS; webOS; or Windows Phone, we're all just part of the larger Mobile Nations family (do you like how I worked that in there?). Still, when a story like this comes along, I can't help but feel a little sympathy for our iPhone...

BlackBerry Girls Gone Bold

Posted by Kerri Neill on 12 Jan 2012 7:19 pm
[youtube link for mobile viewing] Alicia and I were in awe here at CES2012, this being our first one and all, and were a bit intimidated (it’s not every day you get to meet big celebrities like CrackBerry Kevin). We decided to see if we could have a bit of fun with the folks over at BlackBerry by commandeering the BlackBerry Bold limo. Unbeknownst to our fellow BlackBerry users who were...

[ youtube video link for mobile viewing ] Back at BlackBerry DevCon this past fall, our own CrackBerry Adam caught the attention of the smartphone world with his discovery invention of the BlackBerry Kickstand. Using the battery door in the correct manner to prop up the BlackBerry Bold 9900 is a trick that has been used by many a Bold 9900 owner since. Not to be outdone again by...

[ youtube link for mobile viewing ] After a long day walking the show floor at CES2012 the last thing we wanted to do was to walk to the monorail station, ride the train back to our hotel and forge our way through the maze that is the MGM Grand Hotel back to our room. RIM came to our rescue with the BlackBerry limo. All we had to do was send a BBM us for a ride!! and presto! within 20...

RIM shows the love at CES2012 through BBM

Posted by IsaacKendall on 11 Jan 2012 2:21 am
RIM says thank you to the BlackBerry faithful at CES2012 RIM has an army out in full force at CES2012 adding BlackBerry users to BBM for the purpose of pampering us with limo rides, snacks and charged batteries. We were met on the platform coming off the monorail at the Las Vegas Convention Center by these PR folks with QR codes hanging around their necks. We were asked to scan the code to...
