How Much Abuse Can a BlackBerry Take?
RIM just put out a series of videos showcasing the durability tests a BlackBerry has to withstand prior to its release. Pretty cool!

According to reports by Crackberry, these are leaked media shots of an upcoming RIM smartphone, potentially the rumored next-generation BlackBerry 10, dubbed the Superphone.
Say hello to The Bold Team. Sadly, this animated foursome is RIM's attempt to capture the youth market. They urge the younger generation to "Be Bold". Something tells me it won't work.
RIM’s desperately looking to keep BlackBerry users from switching to the wiles of Android, iOS and Windows Phone. It’s attempting to keep users locked to their BlackBerrys with a trade-in scheme that’ll give you up to £106 for your old BlackBerry.
BlackBerry maker RIM has issued a rather surprising boast, saying that it took the top spot for smartphone sales during December in the UK.
Thorsten Heins, the new BlackBerry boss, is tasked with making cool things that people want and will buy. Will it happen? His recent interview with CrackBerry isn't encouraging. But were we really expecting more the guy who spent the last five years overseeing the waning BlackBerry smartphone portfolio?
BGR says they have RIM's 2012 roadmap—a graphical plan of what they'll be releasing this year. So what's on deck? More of the same: boredom, blandness, and nobody caring at all.
After enduring a few years of shrinking relevance in the smartphone market, RIM punctuated its decline with the simultaneous departure of its conjoined CEOs, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. And while thist may signal a new direction for the company, it also likely means the stream of moronic soundbytes we've grown accustomed to will cease to exist as well.
Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie are out, and Thorsten Heins is in as their replacement CEO at RIM. To showcase just how dynamic and inspirational he is, the company posted a video of their bold new leader on YouTube. Only, uh, it's probably more likely to send you to sleep than get you buying a BlackBerry.
RIM's co-CEOs, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie — aka the keyboard-loving odd couple — are finally realising they're running the BlackBerry into the ground and jumping ship before it's too late. That is, Lazaridis and Balsillie are stepping down at RIM. Done. Gone. Bye bye. The new CEO of RIM will be former COO Thorsten Heins. He has quite the job ahead of him, to say the least.
Wait, is this right? RIM's update to its PlayBook OS is actually good? High fives are currently flying in meetings across the nation.
The BlackBerry PlayBook might be killing RIM, but the Canadians aren’t giving up on it. They’ve been showing off PlayBook OS 2.0 at CES in the hopes that it’ll attract a modicum of interest (rather than pity), and now the lucky thing is finally getting native email.
Looks like RIM’s finally getting with the program and adding Wi-Fi hotspot capability to its phones with a BlackBerry OS 7.1 update.
I'm at Pepcom's Digital Experience and while I was running the floor looking for exciting products to share with you — yeah, you — I noticed the saddest booth around.
Christmas is often a time when the desperately lonely consider taking their own lives. Harsh, but true. So instead of taking a fistful of tablets, perhaps they should think about buying one single computery tablet instead.
