BlackBerry PlayBook spotted on CBC News The National

Posted by Michelle Haag on 9 Jun 2011 3:41 pm
Peter Mansbridge of The National (the flagship nightly news and current affairs program from Canada's public broadcaster, CBC) uses a BlackBerry PlayBook during the show. He has it propped up in what looks like the convertible case, and it looks like he has his email open, maybe in preparation for breaking news or story updates? I love my BlackBerry PlayBook, and find more ways to use it...

Walmart shows off a BlackBerry 6 Ready Curve 8310 - False advertising at its finest

Posted by Adam Zeis on 25 May 2011 8:32 am
This one definitely made me chuckle a bit. Nigel sent in the above image of an AT&T BlackBerry Curve 8310 on display at a local Walmart. It seems that wires got crossed somewhere as the device is being advertised as BlackBerry 6 Ready. As we all know, the 83xx series will never see BlackBerry 6 (unless Walmart knows something we don't) so it's safe to assume that this tag belongs to...

Obama's BlackBerry takes a dive - Proves it's still affected by gravity

Posted by Adam Zeis on 17 May 2011 11:20 am
A while back we posted a poll asking how many of you have dropped your device. Over 80% of those that voted have dropped their device at least once, with a crazy 26% dropping it five times or more. Well President Barak Obama is now part of the dropped BlackBerry club as he was actually caught on camera as he dropped his device on a recent trip to Tennessee. It appears that it wasn't his...

CrackBerry Idol’s Shankeith BlackBerry Birthday Cake – It’s a Bold 9900!

Posted by Alicia Erlich on 12 May 2011 8:58 am
  Awhile back Kevin said that birthday cakes are the determining factor in a smartphones' popularity. Here we are a couple years later and the popularity is as strong as ever. I must say there are some pretty talented, gifted, and devoted people out there as seen in the BlackBerry Cake Roundup Part I and Part II. Continuing this tradition is none other than our very own CB Idol contestant...

BlackBerry Pearl Flip shows up on Transformers: Prime

Posted by Ryan Blundell on 14 Jan 2011 9:08 am
On Sunday, I sat down with my son to watch the first episode of Transformers: Prime on Teletoon, in Canada. He loves Transformers and, as a father should, I take part in his interests. Okay, who am I kidding? I think I may have been a little more excited about it than he was. There’s nothing like a little of the standard father–son-Autobot-Decepticon time. Between scenes of robots kicking ro-...

Arianna Huffington removed from plane after refusing to turn off her BlackBerry

Posted by Michelle Haag on 12 Jan 2011 9:18 am
First it was actor Josh Duhamel and now it's media mogul Arianna Huffington. What do these two have in common? Well, if you remember back to December of last year, Josh was removed from a US Airways flight for refusing to turn off his BlackBerry. This week Arianna Huffington, co-founder and columnist for The Huffington Post, was on a United Airlines flight. Arianna apparently ignored the...
