There’s still a lot of love in the room for the Q10. I knew there would be. I KNEW it! Fundamentally, I am faster at typing on a physical keyboard. There are generations of executives who are the same as me. And ever since the iPhone came of age, we’ve been overlooked. We’ve been told [...]

You can buy the black or white version in the UK today, but you can only get hold of the red one if you’ve developed and submitted an app to BlackBerry [...]
Sitting today in the keynote at BlackBerry Jam Europe, I could see how BlackBerry was able to attract the largest app catalogue at launch ever, for any computing platform. The answer is loyalty and inclusivity, prompted and enhanced by BlackBerry’s now legendary developer relations team. I could feel the respect, care and attention for the [...]
I’ve only had the device for a short time and already I am very much appreciating it. Here is a direct feed from my brain: 1. The back case is plastic. Nice quality, but plastic. Which is good. Because my BlackBerry is a tool for getting stuff done. I want to be able to toss [...]
