WhatsApp Android dark mode looks sick on my Galaxy S9. Way better than on my iPhone 11. I always prefer the dark gray over true black.
Had to download the apk from the official website as I still did not get the update. Another benefit to Android I guess. Not to mention you can’t turn it on separately on iOS.
Been waiting for this for a long time especially on iPhone since the app design on iOS has more white space. Had to even toggle a setting to reduce bright colors.
I would like to start with the fact that I am getting a new phone yearly for the past 3 years starting with iPhone 4s, Note II and iPhone 5s. Now while the phone is free, the monthly data is not cheap but considering the fact that I use the phone allot for both business and personal use I was hoping to get the iPhone 6 plus this December. Well, that was the plan until reports of the new iPhone bending in one;s pocket.

Well considering that I keep the phone in my pocket most of the time, this cannot be good news. The next logical choice would be to get my always wanted HTC One.
Nothing but good things are said about the One. Knowing HTC, I am sure the phone will be a better option than Galaxy S whatever. The last option would be to hold out or cancel my plan altogether but with my high calls volume I started to question that derision. The problem is, as much as I want Apple to fix this, they probably wont and will just ignore it. Not sure about the future but I await an official response as I must make a choice by December which happens to be my birthday as well. We wait and see.
Just announced by SEGA; A new Crazy Taxi is coming for IOS and Android this year.
Grab the original for free as soon as you can as it wont last. https://itunes.apple.com/app/crazy-taxi/id553921725?mt=8&at=11l4L8
After twits and warning, the game appears to be offline. Not sure if its a good or a bad thing yet since the game is addictive in a bad way.
As with every year, my carrier contract expire this month meaning new phone is available for upgrade. The question is, which one?
I was impressed with the new IOS7 and once I installed it on my iPhone 4s I immediately realized that I need a newer iPhone if I want things to be smooth. On the other hand, I got tiered of my Note 2 and its dimensions as typing with one hand is a pain and what better Android than the new HTC One? Lastly, I saw Xperia Z with a friend and strangely liked its feature of use any pen and the full HD screen.
I will most likely give my old phone to a member of the family thus the reason to decided if my next phone will be from apple or android so I can give the older version away. Will update you with my decision.Â
Its no secret that one of the biggest world wide tech disappointment accrued yesterday, the BBM launch cancellation.
Despite the extreme hype and rumors followed by official statement of the release date, BlackBerry failed to live up to yet another promise. After hours of strange silence, Blackberry came with a statement that an unofficial leaked BBM made its way to over  1 million consumers resulting in issues which in turn resulted in the cancellation of the launch.
Prior to launching BBM for Android, an unreleased version of the BBM for Android app was posted online. The interest and enthusiasm we have seen already – more than 1.1 million active users in the first 8 hours without even launching the official Android app – is incredible. Consequently, this unreleased version caused issues, which we have attempted to address throughout the day.
Our teams continue to work around the clock to bring BBM to Android and iPhone, but only when it’s ready and we know it will live up to your expectations of BBM. We are pausing the global roll-out of BBM for Android and iPhone. Customers who have already downloaded BBM for iPhone will be able to continue to use BBM. The unreleased Android app will be disabled, and customers who downloaded it should visitwww.BBM.com to register for updates on official BBM for Android availability.
As soon as we are able, we will begin a staggered country roll-out of BBM for Android and continue the roll-out of BBM for iPhone. Please follow @BBM on Twitter for the latest updates and go to www.BBM.com to sign-up for updates about BBM for Android and iPhone. These issues have not impacted BBM service for BlackBerry.
How and what issues did the unofficial app cause? Did BlackBerry not except this huge download rate? My personal take on the above after reading some comments and thinking it over:
How did the unofficial beta app made its way out only hours before official release? What damage did it cause?In any case, the disappointment was huge and may even be the final nail in the coffin of the dying company. Its mistakes like that that pulled them down from the top.
Empty promises and no solid release dates.
Reports across the web are pointing that the long awaited Blackberry messenger will finally hit Android this Friday followed by IOS on Saturday. This can only mean good news as many people consider BBM the ultimate chatting app considering its a mix of speed, privacy and reliability as opposite to the OPEN Whatssapp app which allows any one to contact you as long as he or she has your mobile number.
