According to the information on the page, the device would cost N110,000+ (yes, there’s actually a ... »

First the confusion arises from what we consider BIS here. BIS is not data alone. The term BIS refer... »

The biggest news from the BlackBerry Live keynote on Tuesday was definitely the announcement that BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) was going to be available to iOs and Android devices for free starting this summer. Almost as soon as we tweeted that on our Live tweet (which made the big screen at BBLive by the way–Woohoo!) my mailbox and twitter lit up with requests for me to share my thoughts on t... »
The BlackBerry Live keynote which ended a few hours ago had a bunch of announcements from BlackBerry and instead of making a post for every single one, we’ll round up everything here in one post for your convenience.

I have gotten my hands on a review unit of BlackBerry’s second BlackBerry 10 device, the physical QWERTY keyboard sporting Q10. After playing with it for about an hour, here are a few impressions. The hardware keyboard is great. It’s the best one ever till date. I have had a Bold 9900 on me at all times for the better part of 2 years, but almost instantly, the difference is quite clear. It’s been ... »
If you read my interview with the guys from BlackBerry a few weeks ago, You will remember that I specifically asked at what segment the Z10 and Q10 were targeted at, to which one of their Managing directors replied “We would certainly class both the Z10 and the Q10 as high-end devices from our perspective.
