How to get Black Berry Messenger on iPhone and iPad
Do you find yourself lost without Black Berry Messenger despite all the whistles and bells of your iPhone? You are in luck. Now, you can download BBM (Black Berry Messenger) from the AppStore, for absolutely free of cost. So lets use it like any other messaging app. Here is how to get Black Berry Messenger on your iPhone or iPad.
Step 1; Download Application
First off, open the AppStore and search for Black Berry Messenger. The official BlackBerry app should be at the top, it is a totally free application. Click ‘’Download’’ and you are fine on your way to Black Berry Messenger.
Step 2; sign up or Log in
Sign in with a current BBM ID or Log in for a new one. For those who’re unfamiliar with this application, BBM’s ID is the best novelty itself. Instead of putting your name, phone number or email address like in other services, you are identifiable by unique BBM Pin Number, connected to the BlackBerry ID.
Step 3; Message away
Remember one thing this app is optimized for iPhone 5, but as far as your cellular + Wi-Fi enabled device is having iOS 6 or later, you should not have any issues with it. Black Berry Messenger is well compatible with the iPhone and most Cellular + Wi-Fi iPads & iPad Minis, comprising iPad Air and iPad Mini (Retina Display). Means BBM isn’t made for iPod Touch users.
iPhone 5S (16GB) Has Become The Fastest Selling Model in the UAE
iPhone 5S (16GB) has become the fastest moving model and is estimated to be sold out early in this week, The top retailers told Cafeios.
Main retailer’s stores remained open for about an hour and the fans of iPhone 5S (16GB) were queuing up to put their hands on this handset.
‘’We’re good at stock conditions. We have only a limited iPhone 5S (gold) and have to struggle for every single piece we got. So, we’ve a better allocation than we projected,’’ Ashish Panjabi (COO Jacky’s Electronics) said.
He also said that more sales are on the iPhone 5S than iPhone 5C and there are still more enthusiasts waiting for their one.
iPhone 5S is vended in UAE and its full description is given below here.
- Dh2,749 for 16GB
- Dh3,149 for 32GB
- Dh3,549 for 64GB
While iPhone 5C holds a price tag of Dh2,749 (32GB) and Dh2,349 (16GB).

Which Smartphone 2013 is Ideal For Gaming?
If you’re one of those game addicts who want to know which Smartphone 2013 is ideal for gaming experience, this post will give you answer.
There’ve been around 15 Smartphones released to date, and there could be some more before this year ends. Samsung Galaxy 4S is being considered ideal for gaming.
Have a peek at comparative specifications. iPhone 5S has a 4-inch screen display, and Galaxy 4S has 5-inch screen display. Screen resolution of iPhone is about 640 x 1136 pixels while the Galaxy 4S is about 1080 x 1920 pixels.
The iPhone 5S is developed by dual core (1.3 GHz processor), while the Samsung Galaxy 4S is developed by quad core 1.9 GHz processor. But it wouldn’t be a big deal when you play some online casino games as they don’t have any heavy specs to play, and doesn’t make any difference when you’re playing Angry Birds application, but when you talk about some heavy multiplayer-console quality games. iPhone may be able to run this sort of heavy stuff, but the Samsung Galaxy S4 is doing a good job with these kind of heavy stuffs.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 does have some competitors other than iPhone 5S. For example, Motorola Razor I is a fine all rounder, Huawei Ascend P6 have a great value for money, there’re some files on HTC One X+. The Sony Xperia Z1 is the most ideal phone to come from Sony, However Samsung Galaxy S4 remains at the top.
iOS 7 Creating Sluggishness In Your iPhone?
Some iPhone users who’ve installed and downloaded iOS 7 on their iPhone 4S, now have started facing some sluggishness on their Smartphones. Even some of them have shown their intentions for iOS 6 as this new operating system isn’t suitable for them.
Here we’ve a solution for you if you want to see your iPhone with the new operating system without creating any kind of sluggishness. Apple turned off the visual effects in the iOS 7 for iPhone 4. Users can now stop iOS 7 from testing data when comes to the 3rd party applications. All that you need to do is to go into the Settings > General > Background > select Background application refresh. Users are now able to make up for the decreased performance on iPhone 4 if you’ve enough free space on your device.
Other methods can be adopted to make up the efficiency of iPhone. There’re some people who’ve tried to reinstall from the scratch. If this procedure convinces you then you need to have enough space for this procedure.
If you want to restore the performance back to your iPhone, you should develop a system restore but do not put the data back onto your device. This must stop the burden on A4 processor on the iPhone 4, TidBITS editor said.
iPhone 4S has A5 processor and so it’ll be ok following the update, same would apply to iPhone 5. So if iPhone 4 performing slowly, you may follow the above-mentioned steps.
Say Goodbye to Blur Effect in the iOS 7
For those who aren’t content with the blur effect in the iOS 7 as it adds nothing except disappointment, here’s something for you down here.
There’s a lot of new features added in the latest iOS 7 and one of them is a blur effect that is causing some problems. You may have tasted this effect if you have an iOS device running iOS 7.
In addition to eliminating this blur effect, Guiding Tech claims that it’ll improve battery life and performance on the older iPhones running iOS 7. I can’t endorse this claim, but if you are having many issues with the latest iOS 7 on an iPhone 4S or 4.
But you can now put this issue into the trashcan by simply following these steps Setting > then General > and Accessibility.
Once you have navigated to the section of Accessibility, find the option named Increase Contrast and then select it. Switch to On, and instantly pull up the Control Center or pull down the Notification Center.
You should observe a radical change in the general appearance of both. Moreover, you will also find the subtle changes in the whole operating system, both in & out of the applications. Another sure place where you see this is in the Messeges when you’re typing a message.
