Pocketnow Weekly 091: brace yourselves – the reviews are coming

Posted on April 11, 2014 by Michael Fisher

When an avalanche of reviews is rumbling its way down your mountain, it’s rarely easy to assemble a podcast team – but as we frequently remind you, the Pocketnow Weekly has never missed a week, and we’ll be damned if it’ll do so now. So despite the forthcoming reviews of the Samsung Galaxy S 5, Gear Fit, Gear 2, Oppo Find 7a, Nokia X, and the just-completed reviews of the ZENS Qi line, BlackBerry 10.2.1, and the Verizon HTC One M8, we’re banding together behind microphones in three separate cities on two continents to bring you the news and editorials of a very ...

BlackBerry 10.2.1 review: ten pounds of upgrade in a five-pound bag (Video)

Posted on April 10, 2014 by Michael Fisher

There’s something ineffable about using a BlackBerry in 2014. Some of it is pure nostalgia, the kind of unavoidable reminiscence that comes with using a device bearing a 15-year-old brand. But the bigger part is the software: BlackBerry 10 is a blend of old and new, a kind of hodgepodge of traditional successes alongside

Looking to the past won’t save BlackBerry

Posted on March 3, 2014 by Michael Fisher

Last week, BlackBerry broke into the fast-and-furious MWC news cycle with a few announcements of its own: not only would the company be keeping the door open for another tablet in the coming years, but it would also be releasing new smartphone hardware in the form of the Z3 and Q20. The former device was less than interesting, destined as it was for Indonesia, but the Q20 seemed like a BlackBerry fan’s NSFW fantasy. As ...

BlackBerry Z30: what we love and what we don’t (Video)

Posted on December 31, 2013 by Michael Fisher

“The BlackBerry Z10 isn’t the strongest reboot the RIM of old could have delivered,” we wrote back in February in our Z10 review, “but it gets an awful lot right about the smartphone experience.” We continued: “In a broader sense, it has accomplished something not many products out of Waterloo have managed in recent years: it’s made us excited for the next BlackBerry.” The next BlackBerry to cross our desks turned out to be the Q10, the ...

Pocketnow Weekly 076: inbox zero

Posted on December 28, 2013 by Michael Fisher

The end of the year in tech is already dominated by lists – best of, worst of, top 5, bottom 50 – you get the picture. So rather than foist another array of numeric bullet points upon you on ...

Pocketnow Weekly 051: Baby, you’re a firework

Posted on July 5, 2013 by Michael Fisher

It’s weird when holidays fall in the middle of the week, because either you’re kicking off a long weekend with the special celebration, or you’re returning to work the next day with a fuzzy brain, a sunburn, and sand in your hair. We’re in the latter situation this week at Pocketnow, the American portion of the team coming down from a day of BBQ and a night of fireworks … but in our case, it’s a good thing. Because today’s the day for our weekly mobile tech podcast, and we love us some mobile-tech podcasting. We hope you do, too, because ...

BlackBerry 10.2 to support Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean apps

Posted on June 17, 2013 by Jaime Rivera

As much as BlackBerry can boast to you that their new operating system can run Android apps, that’s not necessarily a good thing. One of our biggest disappointments after our review of the BlackBerry Z10 is that these apps are all locked to Android 2.3 Gingerbread, and that means that you’re stuck running anything that was optimized for an operating system that was launched three years ago. Luckily the company has just announced that this is about to get a major change with BlackBerry 10.2. Within the changes ...
