BlackBerry supporting students in the United Arab Emirates

Posted by James Richardson on 21 Mar 2013 6:39 am
It looks like BlackBerry are getting into the swing of helping out students over in the UAE. They have teamed up with not-for-profit organization INJAZ and launched their Junior Achievement Young Enterprise (JA-YE) Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Innovation Camps. The first to kick off saw more than 100 students partcipate in the camp which was focused on business...

Gartner numbers actually indicate a reversal of BlackBerry market share loss

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 20 Mar 2013 1:08 pm
On Monday of this week, an industry analyst from research firm Gartner posted a blog entry talking about the launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform in the US, and what it means. I’ve seen several headlines talking about this, yet very few link to the real source, so if you want to read it straight form the horse’s mouth, go here.  Note that this isn’t a formal research piece, but more of an...

UK government agency clarifies stance on BlackBerry 10 security certification

Posted by James Richardson on 20 Mar 2013 10:18 am
I read an article earlier today over on The Guardian's website which stated that BlackBerry 10 would not be safe enough for government work here in the UK. I didn't believe what I was reading could be true, so I made a few phone calls to my buddies at BlackBerry to set the record straight. The Guardian stated that the UK's Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG) have not passed...

HELLO FROM NEW YORK CITY!! As promised, the CrackBerry Show is going on the road to NYC as we welcome the BlackBerry Zee 10 to America. I arrived in NYC this afternoon, and we've been wasting no time in getting our new temporary HQ setup. Which means as I type this at 1am, I am wiped and in desperate need of a few hours of shut eye (I pulled an all-nighter last night getting ready to leave...

Thorsten Heins not ready for another PlayBook; Says iPhone is dated

Thorsten Heins has been making the rounds again interviewing with various media outlets, this time surrounding the launch of the BlackBerry Z10 in Australia. While BlackBerry 10 and the Z10 are all the focus, Heins did have a few bits to drop in on other topics like the rumors of an updated BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. We've seen stories flying about BlackBerry 10 coming to the current PlayBook...

BlackBerry World delivers the apps on a Saturday night of sports

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 17 Mar 2013 10:50 am
I had a fun Saturday night. My fiancée Erika and I had friends over. Dinner was excellent and the wine was good. We all ate way too much - the only thing we could physically do after dinner was park ourselves in front of the television, where (luckily) there was no shortage of back-to-back sporting events to take in. We watched the Winnipeg Jets vs. Maple Leafs hockey game (Go Jets Go!!). After...

Five reasons why the BlackBerry Q10's battery life will be Mind Blowing

Posted by Kevin Michaluk on 15 Mar 2013 7:48 pm
By all accounts, both directly from BlackBerry and third party sources, sales of the full touchscreen BlackBerry Z10 are off to a better-than-anticipated start. Prior to launch, there was much speculation that initial sales would largely be from existing BlackBerry users upgrading to BlackBerry 10 phones, but several reports suggest that upwards of 50% of Z10 sales to date have come via Android...

Goldman expecting another BlackBerry earnings beat

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 15 Mar 2013 12:05 pm
In just under two weeks, BlackBerry will announce its Q4 earnings results.  As a reminder the company’s year end is February, so these results will include about one month of sales of the BlackBerry Z10.  But only the UK actually had the phone for the entire month.  Everyone else had a partial month (and the US carriers launch it soon).  On the call we hope to get some Z10 shipment data for the...

What does an order for one million BlackBerry handsets mean?

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 14 Mar 2013 7:49 pm
Yesterday was a big news day for BlackBerry. Verizon announced its Z10 launch details, BlueFin released a report for its research clients saying that BlackBerry has ramped up orders big time, and of course BlackBerry press released its largest order ever.  Yup, some “partner” ordered one million devices with shipments starting immediately. I’d like to shed some light on what this means based on...

As I type this we're nearing three days since we officially unveiled The New CrackBerry.com to the world. The response to our new digs has been overwhelmingly positive, and readers have been fantastic in helping us hunt down and troubleshoot any post-launch bugs. With the re-launch dust now starting to settle, I thought it would be a good time to check in and provide a quick update on where...
