On the 21st February 2013, BlackBerry launched it’s first OS10 device: The BlackBerry Z10 in Singapore. Fortunately, I had the chance to get invited to the event, and during the hands on, it amazed me at how the phone performed during my first try. However, today, what I want to write here is not about the Z10. Continue reading

RIM’s latest addition to the BlackBerry accessory line is the BlackBerry NFC Music Gateway. The device is fairly small and lightweight which makes it convenient if you want to play your media using the Music Gateway either on your car stereo, or home media center or audio instruments equipped with auxiliary input.

The BlackBerry Rapid Charger for BlackBerry PlayBook was released and initially launched along with the BlackBerry PlayBook. Unlike the original charger that comes with the BlackBerry PlayBook, this charger uses the 3 pin Magnetic port instead of the micro-usb port which can be good for the device.

With the launch of the BlackBerry 9900 RIM took a step back in battery life performance in the Bold series. The battery on the 9700/9780 was exceptional, though it was not 4G, the battery and device were thicker, but with the 9900 RIM slimmed down the device along with the battery. That is where Seidio is picking up the slack with the Innocell Extended battery. Continue reading
The latest BlackBerry to make its arrival into Singapore, is of course the non-camera variant of the BlackBerry Curve 9360. This is great news for all our full-time national servicemen (NSF) as most military installations forbids the use of any form of image capturing device.
Prior to this, if you want to use an OS 7 device within military installations, your only option would be to modify a Bold 9900, and remove its camera. But now with the non-camera Curve 9360, our fellow NSF/NSmen can now officially use an OS 7 device in camps. Thus, I am pretty certain that in the coming months or years, the Curve 9360 would be a top choice for NSF/NSmen. Continue reading

I always find it hard to keep my phone well locked in my pocket even though the BlackBerry lock button are pretty handy in such instances but may not always be the best method as these are physical buttons that are still vulnerable to such incidents. There are other password solutions like entering a password or the pattern lock. Team Bulbera came up with this new unique app to let us slide upwards rather than to remember a password or the usual slide to the side to unlock our phone, which could also help increase security a little more.
