Facebook Mobile App News Feed Having Privacy Issues

A week or so ago, I noticed that my News Feed in the BlackBerry 10 Facebook app was inundated with posts showing me everything my friends “Like” or comment on, including activities of people who were NOT on my Friends list. For example: Bob is not my friend, but Sally is my friend. I see…

Was Today A Sign of The Future BlackBerry?

Well today as many of us know was the long anticipated launch of the BlackBerry Passport.  Many of us have thought how will this device work in to our current “glass slab” smartphone ecosystem, will a device this big really make a difference?  Will be adapt and adopt to the design and follow BlackBerry’s vision?…

How Much Are You Paying in Cellphone Taxes & Surcharges?

I had a little revelation last night when I was comparing my families cell phone bill on AT&T with my parents Verizon bill.

Now we are tens of OS releases later with multiple public rollouts and we still do not have this critical feature….

Dear BlackBerry… PLEASE Show BBM “Suggested Contacts” on iPhone & Android

Sometimes It Feels Like BlackBerry’s Developers Never Used BlackBerry 7…
