I’m intentionally writing this post today, BlackBerry 10 launch is just a few hours to go. BlackBerry Z10 is the first device on the given platform and there’s a fair bit of excitement around the RIM and BlackBerry neighborhoods. This has been pretty much down hill for RIM for quite some time and in my opinion this is their last chance to bounce back.
They better get this done right, and they are doing pretty much everything they can to bring back the lost glory to RIM and BlackBerry platform and devices but I’m afraid this may be too little too late. RIM has been missing back to back deadlines and eventually we reach a point where they cannot miss any more opportunities.
I’m sure RIM has been working hard to do a lot of things but here is my wish list of what RIM should do to make it right from here onwards:
* Launch at least 8 devices in 2013 positioned at different price, markets and user levels.
* Break free from networks, allow users to use BlackBerry without using BlackBerry package
* Push popular app makers to bring their apps to BlackBerry 10 ( like Skype 🙂 )
* Devise a mechanism to repel junk apps from their app store, they’ve already got quite a many out there already.
* Wake up and bite the reality, they are nowhere near the industry leaders, so they gotta grow slow and steady.
* Launch BlackBerry N10 as quickly as possible. The bigger chunk of existing BlackBerry fan club is qwerty users.
This list could get longer but it’s enough for now I guess.
In the end I wish luck to RIM and team BlackBerry and as a die hard BlackBerry fan/user/addict myself, I’d love to see RIM to do a real come back.
I’m excited to announce that our app named Speedometer was available for Playbook OS 2.0 way before the OS was available for general public. You can download this GPS based speedometer app that shows both analog and digital speedometer on your Playbook screen. You can get it from App-World by hitting this link.
Or grab it via this QR-Code:
The app is also available for BlackBerry smartphones and Android smartphones from the respective app-stores.
The app features a GPS based speedometer that works on different scales including mph, kmph, meters per second, feet per second and knots. You can use the speedometer while riding a car, bus, train, ship or boat or anything that runs on the surface of earth.
Start the fun and download it today on your smart-phone or tablet.

You’ve used designer dresses, bags, pens and other items that cost you quite a bit. Time to welcome BlackBerry 9980, a designer smartphone designed by Porche Design! Yes, you read it right, and the launch date is not far. BlackBerry 9980 is being announced on October 27th in an exclusive event at Burj Khalifa, Dubai. Looks like a pretty sleek device and I hope it doesn’t cost me a fortune 🙂
You can read more about the device and watch a leaked video here: http://www.gsmarena.com/porsche_design_and_blackberry_team_up_for_the_9980-news-3296.php
So many people asked me this, I thought I’d rather make a post out of it. BlackBerry just released five different handsets this week and Bold 9900 and Bold 9930 are two of them. While it is a valid question, the answer is very simple. BlackBerry Bold 9900 and BlackBerry 9930 are exactly identical in features and hardware except only one difference. BlackBerry Bold 9900 is a GSM phone that operates on GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 networks while BlackBerry Bold 9930 also supports CDMA. Bold 9930 works on CDMA 800/1900 networks in addition to the GSM 850/900/1800/1900. In simple words for example in US, BlackBerry Bold 9930 will work on Verizon and Sprint Nextel while 9900 will work on rest of the networks.
Yes 9930 works on both GSM and CDMA, so if you want to switch back and forth from CDMA to GSM and back, it’s better to grab 9930.

No it’s not Cricket, we’ll find out about that in a few days. It’s about our BlackBerry app hitting world’s number 1 on BlackBerry App World. I’m proud to be part of a team who have made this possible. This is our second app that hits the No. 1 rank on BlackBerry App world across all geographies and all categories.
Could there be anything more cool for a company in Lahore than to have an app ranked higher than vendors like Electronic Arts and brands like Need for Speed? This achievement proves it yet again that we are not behind anyone in any productive field. You can know more about our No. App called LED-Notifier Pro here and I’ll keep you posted about further developments.
