A new sideload of Instagram just surfaced today.  According to BBEmpire, the version is 3.4.4 and runs much smoother than the previous leak we had.  Also, no workarounds are needed as far as logging it which is definitely a plus for those who install leaked OS builds and have to sideload all their favorite android applications again.  Download and try at your own risk!

The latest and greatest leaks lately in terms of BlackBerry seemed to be geared around the all new R-Series the device, known as the R10.  This device is to be the “Curve” equivalent as it is expected to sport lower specs than the other devices (Z10 and R10).  Any way, here’s a leaked video of a tutorial video for the device.  The background shows that it is just a demo, so it obviously is not the production device they will be utilizing on the device when booting up for the first time.

Previously we were teased of the BlackBerry R-Series in individual screenshots, one of which appeared in red color.  This time around, we get a better look at the device and see it side by side with Z10 and Q10 for comparison purposes.  Furthermore, some specs of the device leaked out as well:

• 3.1-inch display, 720 x 720 resolution
• 5MP rear camera, front camera
• Support to shoot up to 2560 x 1920 resolution photos
• 2GB of RAM
• 8GB internal storage
• 1800 mAh non-removable Battery
• BlackBerry 10.1 OS

Interesting to see the screen resolution at 720 x 720, as some may have assumed it would be smaller.  Hit the jump below to check out more leaked images.

We saw several leaked images of the BlackBerry R series in the past, which is the equivalent to the legacy BlackBerry Curve.  It is expected to rock slimmer specifications than the Z10 and Q10 such as lower resolution for instance.  In the screenshot above, you can already see it is probably a lower screen resolution, as the live tiles are much smaller and shorter.  I must say, this one does look good in red color, so definitely a nice attraction.  The spaced out keys also resemble the BlackBerry Curve series, as the Bold and Q10 do have the keys placed together.  The image leaked from Instagram, as the person who posted it makes mention of a Q3 launch of this device.  Would you pick one up?

Another leak for the BlackBerry Z10 has surfaced once again this week, as they have been coming out quite frequently lately.  This leak is for the following models: STL100-1, STL100-2, and STL100-3.  As this is a leak, definitely feel free to backup your whole phone prior to installing this bad boy.  Let us know of your findings from the OS if you do decide to download it.  Links can be found below.

As you already know, Skype for BlackBerry 10 was announced available for the BlackBerry Q10 officially.  It was indicated also that it would be compatible with OS 10.1+, which currently the Z10 only resides on 10.0, officially at least.  However, the bar file has been leaked and has been confirmed to work on Z10’s even with the current 10.0 version operating system on it.  Props to the guys at BlackBerryOS for spotting this one! Note that you’ll have to sideload this one as we can all say goodbye to the old days where “OTA” was made possible.

So we posted earlier today that T-Mobile and BlackBerry are seeding managers at the magenta T, with the BlackBerry Z10, and we just got word in form of the image above that the BlackBerry Z10 will hit all channels on March 26. So T-Mobile customers current and potential mark your calendars because the BlackBerry Z10 will be launching on Tuesday March 26th.

We have all been anticipating the launch of the BlackBerry Z10 in the United States and it’s just around the corner from launching with three of the four major carriers. One of the carriers I have been keeping an eye on has been T-Mobile because they have been very quiet as of late. Yes, they announced they will carry it, and have put the device on the website as coming soon, but that wasn’t until recent. Just yesterday, I received a tip that T-Mobile managers have been given a BlackBerry Z10. This is a great way to really promote the device within the magenta walls of T-Mobile USA. It is also a great way of getting consumers who may not know much about BlackBerry’s new lineup some exposure to the device about a week before the carrier plans to launch the device to the consumer market (with a planned launch date of Wednesday March 27th). Now for those who are on the edge of their seats check out some shots of the T-Mobile BlackBerry Z10. Enjoy.

It looks like the BlackBerry Z10 couldn’t wait until January 30th to show its official face.  Here we see a pretty nice walkthrough on what looks to be the production Z10 device.  However, the OS may still be premature, but still sweet.  A good portion of the video is dedicated to the cool lock screen functionalities, which yes seems a bit overdone, but I couldn’t agree more (about the coolness).  We also get a nice preview of the BlackBerry Hub where all your messages across the board reside, and can be filtered by their sources (Email, Facebook, Twitter, etc).  What do you guys think of the video?

It looks like RIM is still on track as far as the 10 inch BlackBerry PlayBook goes.  The rumors floated in and out for quite some time, but there was never any solid confirmation that the tablet would ever go into production (or that it even existed).  Either way, the Vietnamese website Tinthte managed to snag the 10 inch tablet (or just some photos of it) showing it side by side with the original PlayBook as well.  Continue reading below for more pictures.
