Well, here goes. RIM is announcing its new BlackBerry 10 OS and hardware today. This could be the launch that gets RIM back in the game for smartphones. Or it could be the last time BlackBerry is relevant. It's a big moment. Read More >>

We're used to politicians talking a heck of a lot, but not actually saying anything of substance at all, and definitely not answering the damn question. But RIM's EU MD, Stephen Bates, has just put them all to shame. Here's how to stick to a pre-written PR script no matter what the hell happens. Or in other words, how not to do an interview. Just listen to this cringe-fest. Read More >>

Look people, I know the BlackBerry Z10 looks great, but I just can't believe that some of you are doing these stupid things to get one for free. Ok, five of you. Read More >>
RIM's day of reckoning is almost here. Tomorrow, the once-mighty Canadian company will officially unveil its new BlackBerry 10 operating system, along with new hardware. It's a chance at rebirth, reinvention, and getting out from under its walking corpse reputation. But for that to happen, RIM needs to prove it's back on the right track. Read More >>

Rumour has it RIM might "pull an Apple" at tomorrow's big BB10 reveal, with sources suggesting it might put the new BlackBerry Z10 on sale right after the launch event. The news comes via a supposed internal communication from Vodafone UK, which suggests the Z10 will be available for order at 5.00pm tomorrow. Mind you, internal emails are easy to fake, and pre-order campaigns are very different from actual delivery dates... [The Verge] Read More >>

I've always hated BlackBerry phones. Disgracefully ugly bricks they were—until BlackBerry 10. If the RIM's new flagship Z10 device really looks like this—and apparently it does—and if the OS is as nice as it seemed at CES, I will totally snatch one up. Read More >>

RIM's BB10 ambitions are coming along nicely, with developers responding in huge numbers to the blatant cash bribe offered to get their apps up on BlackBerry App World and ready for BB10's imminent launch. Read More >>

The new BlackBerry 10 looks very good. It may be too late to save RIM, but it's certainly not too little. It's loaded with great stuff. In fact, its keyboard is so terrific that I wish every manufacturer had it. Here's why: Read More >>

This is the new BlackBerry 10, two weeks from its official release. And while visually it looks like a cross between Android and iOS — without any of the spiffiness of Windows Phone — RIM's make-or-break operating system is surprisingly nice. Fast, with clever user interface touches, a centralised hub for all user activity and a good browser. Read More >>
The BlackBerry 10 L-Series, which has been spied before, just got a full centrefold at Tinhte.vn and the biggest surprise? It kind of looks wonderful. The L-Series, which is also known as the hail mary phone that RIM is banking the entire company on, looks a lot like an iPhone 5 from some angles but at the same time, feels decidedly BlackBerry.

BlackBerrys used to be known for bulletproof security -- the go-to device for business because you could guarantee it'd stay locked down and secure. Even if no one really wants a BlackBerry anymore, RIM's carrying on in that vein. BlackBerry 10 will stop you being an idiot, and using a whole load of dumb passwords. Read More >>
BlackBerry 10 is probably going to come out one day in the future, in the same way that an asteroid the size of Canada will probably hit and destroy Earth one day in the future. But regardless, some way to drum up interest is to... leak pictures of your own CEO using a pre-production BlackBerry 10 smartphone at a basketball game? I guess. Read More >>

It feels like we've been running news stories about the BlackBerry London since back when London itself was a small port town built mainly from wood and horse manure and prone to catching on fire. Now we have proper 2012-level evidence. A video. Read More >>
Did you really need to make this video, Research In Motion? Do you think your developers will love you more because of spending I don't know how many hours in making this... this... I don't know what this is. Read More >>
