I just signed up for my BlackBerry App World vendor account. It was a four-step process that took about 6 minutes. I need this because I’m shortly going to be producing a Mobile Industry Review app for BlackBerry OS 5, 6, 7 and BlackBerry PlayBook. I won’t be doing this myself, I should point out. [...]

Exclusive: CrackBerry’s Kevin Michaluk on the Thorsten Heins Keynote
Kevin Michaluk is the top man at #1 BlackBerry site, CrackBerry. I’ve known him for a long time and highly rate him and his perspectives. Kevin is uber-connected in the RIM world so I thought it would be interesting to get his perspective on the Thorsten Heins Keynote this morning at BlackBerry World. Although he’s [...]

Alec Saunders, RIM’s VP of Developer Relations was just on stage here at BlackBerry World announcing a wealth of new updates for their developer community.

Here’s a very quick sneak peak of some of the features we were shown today at BlackBerry World: Note specifically how the on-screen keyboard works — very, very cool.

Last night’s BlackBerry World reception event: RIM is alive and kicking!
This was the scene that greeted me last night as I arrived at the BlackBerry World welcome reception. The event starts properly today — but last night was an opportunity for attendees to have a drink and some food and network with each other. The place was packed. Absolutely packed. I have to admit that [...]

Why RIM isn’t dead to me: I’m getting far too much done, faster, with my Bold!
I recognise that RIM is having a challenging time at the moment. Quite a few people have been prodding me in recent weeks, asking why I am “still loyal”. One chap I met recently for coffee reckoned that I “love” RIM too much and “can’t see the wood for the trees.” No. I can see [...]

Why the BlackBerry Curve 9380 is the best messaging review phone around
The chances are you probably haven’t come across the BlackBerry Curve 9380 much. It was one of those devices announced in a flurry late last year when my attention was on the new BlackBerry Bold 9900. This Curve 9380 is a delightful phone though. It’s particularly suited to anyone in a corporate environment who needs [...]
Manufacturer that’s meant to be dead is #1 UK Smartphone vendor for the 2nd year running (That’s RIM, in case you were wondering)
A bit of news in from RIM this afternoon that’s sure to a) keep the RIM UK team smiling and b) require a bit of a reset from the hordes declaring RIM-is-dead when it clearly isn’t: The latest results from data firm GfK show that BlackBerry® was the #1 selling smartphone in the British market [...]
The “BlackBerry’s Dead” Myth: 4 out of 5 SMEs I called are staying with RIM for “foreseeable future”
I did my own BlackBerry research the other day. I must qualify this post’s headline — I called five SMEs to talk about their BlackBerry usage. Each of the companies I called are British companies, they are all primarily engaged in the manufacturing industry and they all employ 25-500 people. I think I probably called [...]

BlackBerry is still the fastest messaging experience bar none
I’m feeling pretty disappointed about the continual stories surrounding the BlackBerry platform. I’m such a huge fan that it’s rather painful to look into the abyss and consider, for example, a RIM takeover by Amazon or Microsoft. That said, my mind does then jump with excitement and the possibilities of what could be delivered as [...]
