Today we introduce another contributing editor to the site, GuruNic. Nic is an avid BlackBerry lover and cellphone guru-in-training. Please welcome him! I’m often asked what it is about the BlackBerry platform that can keep people so attached when (and I say this with all the deepest affection I have) the hardware is far behind [...]

So there’s been a lot of BlackBerry rumors this week including the possibility of upcoming successors to the Storm 2 and Bold 9700. We thought we already had the answer to this, but now we are again wondering which current BlackBerry devices will be getting BlackBerry 6.

A boy must have invented the “delivered” versus “received” system on BBM because he certainly did not take into account the potential torture and agony that would ensue. Don’t get me wrong, I love BBM, yet where do you draw the line on who to add and when it is appropriate to add them? To [...]

Things are looking pretty good but remember, this is just [...]

I remember how excited I was to ditch my Pearl 8130 for a proper BlackBerry, the Tour 9630, when it was finally released last summer. I had been waiting in anticipation after many rumors of its existence and rushed out to buy one the week it was released. At the time, the Tour was arguably [...]

Since WES 2010 and the official announcement of the BlackBerry 6, there has been much speculation as to which devices will be released with the OS and more importantly, which current devices will get the upgrade.
