First and foremost, and I don't mean to come across negative, but what's the point in manufacturing an accessory that by more common means is pretty much unusable? This is the situation I find myself in with the above VU wireless charging stand from TYLT.

Sometimes the only thing a company can do is put their tale between their legs and make their clientele happy. Such is the case with the upcoming BlackBerry Z30. After initially declaring that they wouldn't carry it, Rogers has backtracked and announced today that they will indeed launch the device on October 15th coinciding with official Canadian launch (TELUS and Bell have already confirmed their plans to launch it). This comes after intense forum scrutiny from customers claiming Rogers "lacked Canadian pride" and "Didn't know what they customers want". Harsh.
The device is set to cost $699 outright. No word yet on 2-year termed pricing.
Stay tuned for our official review coming shortly.

For once it's not you, it's Rogers.
Reports are filling up the interwebs that Rogers' voice network is experiencing sporadic outages nationwide. Word has it that mobile data, however, is working fine (this includes: WhatsApp, iMessage, Email and browsing).
We've reached out to Rogers for comment and are awaiting response.
Stay tuned...

After almost three years of back and forth legal banter, Waterloo-based BlackBerry (then RIM when dispute was filed) and Waterloo-based Kik messenger have finally settled their long-standing instant messenger dispute.
Although no word on settlement or how this will play out now for Kik, it puts to rest the patent infringement case that was filed back in 2010 when Kik launched their popular messenger service which - to this day - feels a lot like BlackBerry's famed BBM.
We reached out to Kik's founder and CEO Ted Livingston for comment and here is what he had to say:
"Its a tough subject that I can't say much on. Appreciate you asking though!"
Could this mean a future for Kik on BlackBerry 10? Unlikely. I think it was more about long term legal fees than anything. Stay tuned for more
