Each month you can choose which reward you'd like to receive, and the higher your level in the program (silver, gold, platinum) the better your rewards will be. You level up by earning points, and for the most part...

Posted by James Richardson on 13 Oct 2012 5:37 am
It's interesting times at the moment in the UK for EE (formerly Everything Everywhere), who own both Orange and T-Mobile UK. We have mentioned in various posts about the company rolling out their new 4G LTE service in the UK at the end of October, the first network to do so in Great Britain. Today EE has announced that all 700 of the Orange and T-Mobile stores will be re-branded as EE by...

BlackBerry 10 is on track with carriers

Posted by James Richardson on 25 Sep 2012 12:00 pm
BlackBerry Jam Americas is happening as I write this. Thorsten Heins is on stage and taking BlackBerry 10. One thing that has just given us at Team CrackBerry a lift is that he said that BlackBerry 10 is on track and that carrier entries start next month. With many BlackBerry users disheartened with the new OS being delayed until Q1 2013 we can at least now sit back and relax knowing it is...

Have you ever really wondered just how much data your phone gives away about you? German politician Maite Spitz gave a brilliant TED talk on your carrier collects crazy amounts of data from your mobile phone use. Spitz had asked his phone company Deutsche Telekom for this data multiple times, however they refused each time, so Spitz filed a lawsuit. He ultimately won and agreed to drop the...

Apple CEO Tim Cook acknowledges BlackBerry data efficiency and admits carriers actually care about it

Posted by Chris Umiastowski on 25 Apr 2012 5:31 pm
Last night, while covering the Apple Q2 results for iMore, I heard Tim Cook say something that I don't ever quite recall anyone from Apple ever saying before. In response to a question about carrier subsidies on iPhones, and potential pressure, Cook said the following as part of his reply: "Our engineering teams work extremely hard to be efficient with data and differently than some...

BlackBerry Buyer's Guide: UK Edition (Part 2)

Posted by DJ Reyes on 27 Sep 2011 10:24 am
  A week ago we had a look at the BlackBerry smartphones available on each of the top 5 UK networks. This list consisted of devices available on contract. With Pay and Go very popular in the UK, it was only right to roundup a list of all BlackBerry devices available for users who prefer Pay and Go.

BlackBerry Buyer's Guide: UK Edition (Part 1)

Posted by DJ Reyes on 15 Sep 2011 12:42 pm
Here in the UK we have the top 5 networks for buying your mobile phone on - O2 UK, Vodafone UK, T-Mobile UK, Orange and Three. Although T-Mobile and Orange trade under an individual name they merged back in July 2010, so a lot of their tariffs end up being very similar if not the same. With a handful of networks it is sometimes hard to know what networks sells which BlackBerry and where the...

There is no doubt that Verizon's preperations for a BlackBerry 6 for numerous devices is well underway. BlackBerry applications are randomly being updated, users are reporting some strange things happening with their PTT (push to talk) modules and well, we've already got a BlackBerry 6 leak for the Bold 9650 and Curve 3G anyways. The most recent nod to the fact that launch is close could be...
