If you've been wondering how carrier branding may show up on BlackBerry 10 phones, this leaked image that just popped up on the internet gives us a clue. The BlackBerry Z10 on the left shows clear Verizon branding on the upper left corner of the phone. The phone on the right is apparently the AT&T version, but we're not seeing any carrier branding on this one... yet. It's likely this will vary a bit from carrier to carrier.
The Verizon branding is subtle, but effective. We'd rather have our BlackBerry's free of carrier branding, but if you are going to have carrier branding, this location isn't too bad. More than carrier-free branding, we want to see big time carrier support for BlackBerry 10 - whatever it takes to get that done is fine with us.
The image was posted first on Business Insider, and was apparently sourced by a person who's testing both Verizon and AT&T variants of the BlackBerry Z10. The tester also gave his opinion of the Z10, which he said had great build quality, a great screen, a fast web browser (as quick as desktop browser) that supports flash and that the boot up time is less than a minute. These are all things we love to hear.
January 30th's BlackBerry 10 launch event can't come soon enough!

dieing to get one in my hands i want carrier free branding i hate this big ugly rogers logo on my 9900 first ever bb with branding. When i was with RIM i got so used to just seeing the BlackBerry name and no branding i loved it i want the same now too.
07thking Jan 3, 2013 at 11:47 am
+ 10000000!
my lumia 920 surprisingly does not have the rogers logo on it. so beautiful. i just get the rogers logo when it boots up.
Hopefully Rogers doesn't touch the bb10 device either
lengend Jan 3, 2013 at 6:20 pm
My 9700 had carrier branding but my 9900 doesn't so I'm hoping the Z10 doesn't either.
just_luc Jan 3, 2013 at 2:02 pm
In my experience the carrier branding can usually be removed with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol.. takes 10 minutes or so of scrubbing but it gets the job down flawlessly. I've done this on my 9000, 9700 and 9900 with great results.
I might be a little apprehensive to try it on a white model though, as they are generally black plastic coated white, so there's a chance you might damage the finish.
Jake Storm Jan 3, 2013 at 10:43 pm
Carrier branding is usually pretty easy to take off.
KyonCoraeL Jan 3, 2013 at 11:44 pm
I heard you could sand it off with a sugar cube. Not sure how valid that claim is.
Wow I really hate the Verizon engraving on it.... why did RIM let Verizon do that???

I was actually thinking the exact same thing...I was trying to look at the bricks on the screen to see if one was showing more brick than the other...it seems to be the same, but does look different...ARISTO! lol

It's ipoo. Lol
I so can't wait!!!
Plazmic Flame Jan 3, 2013 at 11:22 pm
Seriously!! Just so everyone knows, I'm going to be THAT GUY, in the carrier store, playing with this thing, everyday after work, lol. Seeing that picture makes me very excited to try some web browsing on the Z10.
The iPhone really missed their chance and the "tall & thin" profile doesn't help with web browsing anymore. Really looking forward to getting my hands all over this thing!
beastberry_10 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:32 am
Its becoming real!!!!
shemaree09 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:34 am
absolutely! and Im on Verizon so im super excited!!!
beastberry_10 Jan 3, 2013 at 11:01 am
I'm on verizon as well.....I'm giddy!!!
Me too. I hope that they are first to get it!
xxxmerlinxxx Jan 4, 2013 at 9:26 am
I hope all carriers are "first to get it". A unified launch with products in stores would be ideal.
UncleMiltie Jan 3, 2013 at 10:33 am
Isn't she lovely? A little surprised how much bigger it looks than the iPhone. Would love to see it next to an SIII or OneX just for comparisons sake.
rickbansal Jan 3, 2013 at 10:35 am
That's an iPhone 4S in the picture not a 5.
sk8er_tor Jan 3, 2013 at 1:55 pm
Whatever it is, it looks like an antique with its home button next to the BB10.
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 5:23 pm
That button looks so.... 5 years ago.
That iPhone looks small and old.... and out dated. I am getting the touch for sure!
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 7:07 pm
morpho4444 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:36 am
Is that an iPhone 5?
If that is the case, our z10 looks like a monster... Having two z10 and an iPhone in the middle is like two big badasses bully guys from highschool making fun of a silly hipster guy
chiiikee Jan 3, 2013 at 11:03 am
It's a 4s. The 5 has the front facing camera above the 'speaker' and not by the side
sreidenb Jan 3, 2013 at 10:37 am
That iPhone is just a 4 or 4S. The 5 is larger so it isn't a very good comparison with the one on the market right now.
advil_yum Jan 3, 2013 at 10:33 am
Holy hell, they look massive... not sure I'm digging the size. I always look at the Galaxy phones in store and think the size looks ridiculous. I guess I'll have to wait to see how it feels in the hand.
My thoughts also they do look massive I want a pocket phone for work or at the bub (that's a bar for those in the ex colonies !) definitely not a man bag guy.
pick1eberry Jan 3, 2013 at 10:31 pm
Remember..the phone has to fit your hand for one handed typing so it can't be THAT big.
BionicKris Jan 3, 2013 at 8:11 pm
Well, if it was smaller we would be saying "They could have made it a bit bigger..". From the video I saw released in one of CB's recent blog posts the size looked good in relation to the hand size of the of the guy who did the video. No complaints here. BBring it on, baby! #BB10
Paintedeyes Jan 3, 2013 at 10:33 am
oh wow under a minute to boot up. that is very nice to hear!
sreidenb Jan 3, 2013 at 10:34 am
Awesome to see my carrier logo on it! Now just want a white one too.
Jan 30th can't come soon enough!
shemaree09 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:35 am
now I just need to see the keyboard version with a Verizon logo :D
bb10_fan Jan 3, 2013 at 10:35 am

Oscar_E Jan 4, 2013 at 3:00 am
My GF is desperate to switch from her carrier to mine, and she was about to bye an iphone5 cause her BFF has one, she told me about it, so i showed her the latest Z10 vids and pics. guess what ??
Bye Bye iphone, Hello BB10 !
i"ll take two, thank you lol
dts3204 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:37 am
If bigger than a Storm 2 to damn big. Went back to an older phone cause I thought the Samsung Galaxy II was too big. So I am old and set in my ways . Still want to see it though.
RevyRah Jan 3, 2013 at 11:52 am
It's much bigger than any BlackBerry to date other than the dev phones.
PeeBrains Jan 3, 2013 at 10:37 am
This is friggin awesome news !!!
pallav_db Jan 3, 2013 at 10:37 am
Jan 30th.........Mighty Thor with BB10
grreyes24 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:38 am
Like you said, if them putting branding there helps to get the full carrier support, I'm fine with that.
But still, I hope a little rubbing alcohol does the trick to remove the branding just like it did on the 9900.
frifred Jan 3, 2013 at 10:42 am
Don't care about the branding on the phone, just wish I could wipe out the branding on my monthly bill :-)
thedark722 Jan 3, 2013 at 1:20 pm
Jon Tessler Jan 3, 2013 at 10:43 am
now i just need to see the one with the Sprint branding. less than 26 days to go. I am waiting to use my upgrade.
BBVegasGirl80 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:46 am
Same here with T-Mobile. :-)
BB_Bmore Jan 3, 2013 at 3:21 pm
Sadly the only new BlackBerry thus far for T-mo is the 9315 lol I truly hope to see T-mo and Sprint carry the BB10 line as well.
unknowngeek Jan 3, 2013 at 10:18 pm
You and I are in the same boat. Come on Sprint, you have lots of loyal BlackBerry fans just waiting to use their upgrades!!

djdonnyk Jan 3, 2013 at 10:47 am
Come on RIM let's see some pics with the Sprint logo......
TomJasper Jan 3, 2013 at 10:53 am
Thanks Kev, looking oh so sweet!
RicanMedic78 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:58 am
phone looks gorgeous! Never thought I'd look at a blackberry again! I love Android, but their hardware is just too big for me and I'm not a fan of Samsung's big plasticy designs! As far as branding goes, it looks disgusting on here, especially being so far to one side! I pray they just keep it on the back of the phone and leave it at that! I would actually contemplate refusing to buy it if I see the logo printed as it is in this photo. Crazy? Maybe, but it does infuriate me to see this non sense.
It's actually amazingly subtle.. didn't even use their brand colors, but a very muted grey as to not draw more attention than the silver Blackberry branding at the bottom... so it kinda seems designed to go along with the phone's design... I feel like I would barely notice it...
I agaree. It is made out of the cheapest looking flat black plastic they could find. Just like the Droid X that was released 3 whole years ago.
Check it out:
Why couldn't they just use nicer materials like the 9900??
nocturnal123 Jan 3, 2013 at 11:04 am
I can't wait until the z10 comes out on Bell, I've already got 200$ saved up for it since I will have to buy it off contract.
BlackBerry Torch 9860 and PlayBook
owadkelly Jan 3, 2013 at 11:12 am
Eww carrier branding, really looks out of place up there. The att version looks perfect. Also I am loving the size of these berries.
I'm waiting to see a BB10 phone with T-Mobile Branding...
TheStoof Jan 3, 2013 at 11:38 am
Agreed. I'm going to transfer my number as soon as the BB10 is available online.
green_ember Jan 3, 2013 at 11:16 am
Glad to see a Verizon logo. That's who I plan on dumping Sprint for...
bluegreen1965 Jan 3, 2013 at 3:25 pm
Me too. Leaving T-Mo for VZ!
rjkolo Jan 3, 2013 at 11:16 am
It looks so sweet January 30 cannot get here soon enough! The only way RIM fails is if this phone isn't released within 2 weeks of the launch event. The carrier branding on the phone really doesn't matter to me, but Apple somehow gets away without it...why not RIM. I think the size of this phone looks perfect, compared to the iPhone 4/4s in the picture it may look huge, but remember just how small the iPhone 4 is, from previous pictures it is just slightly larger than that iPhone 5 just with a much bigger screen. Looks perfect to me, and the browser runs flash?? Why has this not been stated before, or did I miss it somewhere???
bhrgvr Jan 3, 2013 at 11:34 am
Was a known fact that it will run flash.... Guess you missed it somehow...
123berryaddicted Jan 3, 2013 at 3:09 pm
Some who maybe didn't follow the whole playbook experience might not be aware of this.
MoolahMitch Jan 3, 2013 at 8:43 pm
The PlayBook browser runs the full desktop experience and it can be considered an alpha of the BlackBerry 10 browser
morganplus8 Jan 3, 2013 at 11:18 am
That's the best picture of this new phone that I have seen so far and it is a beauty!!! I'll buy one as soon as someone other than Rogers allows for pre-ordering. I can't get enough pics of this phone! Now if only they would post something for us in a qwerty and have someone say the build and finish is amazing ..............................
I happen to like the size of this phone as it will be replacing my PC for the most part. THe iPhone 5 has enough height but they bombed on width whereas this phone is perfect in every way.
Nice to see a fellow canadian supporting rim and blackberry ten. I ordered mine from Rogers. OH CANADA!!
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 5:32 pm
I'm switching to Rogers when this phone becomes available. I typically work DT VanCity and the Telus reception/coverage is disgusting (one bar standing outside). There's just no excuse for that. Co-workers with Rogers get full coverage below ground. Telus and Bell are also sleeping on this pre-order thing... Fail.
It is a major fail, especially with rim being a canadian company
8820man Jan 3, 2013 at 11:21 am
Having seen now the Z10 and the likely qwerty model, I think I'm ready to try all touchscreen. If all touch is not for me (love my keys), I'll just switch back to trusty ol' 9800 and ONE HECK of a new media player!!
DjDante Jan 3, 2013 at 11:22 am

CMZ_DL Jan 3, 2013 at 11:28 am
Come onnnn Telus!!!!! Start the pre orders already! Looks Gorgeous
Plazmic Flame Jan 3, 2013 at 11:09 pm
For real! I'm wondering if I'm really going to have to switch carriers to get BB10...
AlKuqo Jan 3, 2013 at 11:30 am
Al Kuqo
The Verizon branding does seem subtle, I can barely make it out.
Just hope Rogers doesn't go overboard with their branding - in fact I, for one, would love for them not to slobber their logo on the phone at all.
Phone does look sweet though...
MrHomz Jan 3, 2013 at 11:36 am
I was lucky and got my Bold 9900 from Bell without a logo on it. I'm hoping this is the case with the new Z10 also, but even so I'll have it in a case right from the start!
jamesharmeling Jan 3, 2013 at 11:31 am
Question: If Sprint doesn't carry the BB10, can I buy a Verizon BB10 and use it with Sprint?
mandony Jan 3, 2013 at 11:34 am
.. something called 'unlocking'. Look it up. It can be used so long as the phone has proper frequencies for the new service.
jamesharmeling Jan 3, 2013 at 11:43 am
Both carriers are cdma, right?
Wolf35Nine Jan 3, 2013 at 11:44 am
Sprint is going to carry bb10 so you don't have to worry about unlocking.
jamesharmeling Jan 3, 2013 at 12:11 pm
They dang well better! My contract has been up for two months now and I will have no problem switching carriers to get my "precious". :)
mrgdr57 Jan 3, 2013 at 12:39 pm
Jumping ship from Sprint to AT&T since Sprint can't seem to get its 4G act together.
panterarck Jan 4, 2013 at 12:44 am
And you think att is better? Verizon has the best and largest LTE network. Give them a try. And you know that they'll have the new z10. ATT might take their sweet time like they did with the 9900.
mrgdr57 Jan 4, 2013 at 10:12 am
...certainly better than Sprint in my area where its 3G service can be ridiculously spotty. Granted, Verizon's network is the most advanced. Verizon or AT&T, makes little difference to me because local coverage is the same; either would be an improvement in my daily wireless life.
Have talked with both companies in the past. CDMA for these two, requires the new carrier to add your device to their network... and they won't do it. I don't know if this is still true for LTE.
green_ember Jan 3, 2013 at 8:40 pm
unlocking is a GSM thing. CDMA phones need flashed
Rootbrian Jan 4, 2013 at 4:42 am
Can't unlock CDMA phones AT ALL.
bbicons Jan 3, 2013 at 11:49 am
It's highly unlikely that would be a possibility. Unfortunately, carriers like verizon and sprint only allow phones with their ESNs onto their networks AND they have software that is specific to their networks. You could possibly flash the software and use it on Metro PCS or Cricket, but who knows when the method to do that will be possible.
It'd be much easier to bounce between GSM-based carriers because they will take any IMEI and connection is based off of the SIM card
Wolf35Nine Jan 3, 2013 at 12:11 pm
Since Sprint will have bb10, he won't have any issues with this.
jamesharmeling Jan 3, 2013 at 12:17 pm
My sphincter has loosened up just a little, but how do you KNOW Sprint will have it?!? I need proof to fully stop stressing.
taz323 Jan 3, 2013 at 12:58 pm
That's what I want to hear,I will be in line the day it's out.
Rootbrian Jan 4, 2013 at 4:42 am
CDMA cannot be unlocked.
mandony Jan 3, 2013 at 11:32 am
FYI: apparently as to today US T-Mobile customer service has not even been informed that BB10 will soon be released.
That being said, I look forward to carry a BB10 TM logo phone. I am sick of all the ATT iPhone's.
It looks like the carrier logo can easily be covered by some thin black paint or perhaps removed by sugar cubes :) Where there is a will, there is way!
TheStoof Jan 3, 2013 at 11:43 am
I hope TMO gets it around the same time, or else I might do something as stupid as canceling my contract and creating a new one with AT&T instead of moving to TMobile and buying the phone outright.
imcurved Jan 3, 2013 at 6:03 pm
T-Mobile needs to get their act together or I'm leaving.
brmiller1976 Jan 3, 2013 at 12:25 pm
This doesn't surprise me.
Two days before the HTC 8X launched on T-Mobile, the carrier stores and customer service were clueless about the device's existence and insisted that I was completely wrong -- T-Mo would never carry it.
Two days later, they were selling it. :)
imcurved Jan 3, 2013 at 6:05 pm
I don't get why T-Mobile is always slow when it comes to this kind of thing.
07thking Jan 3, 2013 at 11:45 am
Geeze, I hate to see the carrier branding on the front of the device, can't it be placed on the back or something. This really annoys me, take a page out of apple's book darnit! I have to modify my BB so that ugly ass carrier branding doesn't ruin the aesthetics of my sweet goodness sugarlicious Berry!
07thking Jan 3, 2013 at 11:46 am
On a second note I can't wait for my baby, I'm going nuts hurrr!
Mike1117 Jan 3, 2013 at 11:48 am
Verizon branding is subtle. I don't even notice the Verizon logo on my 9650. Even though we knew it was coming, I'm just excited to see a Verizon logo on a BB Z10.
unstoppablekem Jan 3, 2013 at 11:54 am
Even though I'm on AT&T and getting that one off-contract, I hope the Sprint one comes soon, since my friend is on Sprint and wants it desperately. If it comes at the same time or after windows phone 8 devices land on Sprint, or he doesn't like it, he'll get a windows 8 phone.
goaliegirl33 Jan 3, 2013 at 11:57 am
Hurry up and take my money! I'm running out of bandaids for my Torch.
Wouldn't you know it, less than 30 days till the release event and I have to replace my slider flex cable.
Every new picture, just a little bit more torture. Before I was just impatient, now I'm actually IN NEED.
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 12:11 pm
Only two times I ever use the slider keyboard on my Torch is with my banking app and "Alt+lg+lg" to clear my log.
Makes the iphone look small, only a few more weeks left!
QuickDime Jan 3, 2013 at 12:04 pm
This is a beautiful device I need in my life already!
TommyBB Jan 3, 2013 at 12:05 pm
I'm happy to see my carrier is onboard! Hmmm, maybe Magic Eraser can get their branding off? Oh well, still happy!
mphillips828 Jan 3, 2013 at 12:07 pm
Mobile Syrup has another photo of the Z10 with iPhone 4S showing how thin the new Z10 is! Looking nice!!!
Dutch treat Jan 3, 2013 at 12:12 pm
I want it! Can't wait! Please send them a.s.a.p to Europe!!!(eh... to The Netherlands)
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 12:13 pm
Those BBs look awesome compare to the iPhone. If ya don't like it, haters gonna hate.

Gotta keep the haters motivated....lol! BB4LIFE
eddiemaldo Jan 3, 2013 at 12:23 pm
Happy to see carriers on board....i have sprint so hopefully they get on board if not looks like im switching to either Verizon or At&t.....
crunch27 Jan 3, 2013 at 12:25 pm
No branding on the phone. Will switch carriers to have a clean phone.
raxamillion Jan 3, 2013 at 12:32 pm
My contract was up in November!! It's burning to get used on one of these...maybe both colours.
thpsrulr Jan 3, 2013 at 12:51 pm
Been off contract since late September, it's killing me!
BionicKris Jan 3, 2013 at 9:19 pm
I've been off-contract since August, eagerly waiting for the BB10's to come out. I'm confident that every day of the wait will have been worth it once I get one.
The Z10 is just too big for me coming from a BB9930. I will wait for a smaller BB10 device.
Bbnivende Jan 3, 2013 at 12:48 pm
Given the massive success of the Samsung Galaxy ... glad you are not in RIM design. the Z10 needs to appeal to the majority of consumers. Today's younger users in NA have got bigger hands .
Plazmic Flame Jan 3, 2013 at 11:15 pm
Looks like you would probably be better off with the X10?
Thachoc1 Jan 3, 2013 at 12:36 pm
LMAO! I just had a moment!. I was thinking, hey that looks like an iphone in the middle! LMAO. EPICFAIL!!!
Bbnivende Jan 3, 2013 at 12:45 pm
It would be nice if branding meant that if a lost phone was found that you could return it to the carrier outlet for a $25 finders fee or something like that.
I think the phones look nice but need to see a white phone. Seems like all of the women I know prefer the white phone . I see where other makers will be going for the full spectrum colour look like the Nokia.
Thinking about the X10 again ... we are mainly disappointed because the the screen size. The screen size was limited by the square format or in other words the width. I understand that but X10 could have been taller to retain the track ball but then that might have been a software issue to keep the BB10 compatible. Rim could have done better in explaining the "why " then the negative reactions would have been more muted.
Plazmic Flame Jan 3, 2013 at 11:19 pm
Nah, you are on track, at the very least they could have made the screen taller on the X10. While we would not have the same resolution of, it could have gotten at least 3 rows of icons in there.
This forum thread talks about it more:
Hibbylinx81 Jan 4, 2013 at 8:01 am
On point re the screen of the X10...settling on the square screen has limited the screen size big time...even havin the same size as the Z10 would hav been more desirable with a much bigger screen and the trackpad if possible..
JMDBERRY Jan 3, 2013 at 12:47 pm
Hmm, I'm wondering what will be the new BB10 Theme Song,....I'm beginning to think,..."Can't Touch This",...by MC Hammer! ....or "Bad" by M.J.!
Or Rim should have multiple theme songs that run randomly or different times of the day in different markets!
Like, something mellow between 6am-10am,...something perky between 10am-2pm and something hevey from 2 to 7pm and something relaxing from 7pm til 6am!
....just a thought!
DarkCutter Jan 3, 2013 at 12:50 pm
Seriously hurry up! Don't have a working BlackBerry and now I bought an iPhone. Damn like that's how bad I need a phone!!!!
Bbnivende Jan 3, 2013 at 1:20 pm
How does the start up compare with the Iphone ? My BB9900 start up is very quick. This could be a annoyance.
The slow start up of the Playbook IS a problem.
green_ember Jan 3, 2013 at 9:10 pm
The Playbook is slow because it loads every driver it might need every time it starts. RIM has said they learned from that mistake for BB10 which is obvious from the claim of a boot time less than 1 minute.
I'm fairly certain that the iPhone 'cheats' on it's boot time. Since you can't remove the battery, there's no real way to tell for sure, but here's my theory. On every BlackBerry I've owned, if the phone goes completely dead, you can plug it in and start powering it on immediately. On both my iPod Touch 4th gen and my iPhone 4 (replaced my broken iPod Touch with the phone for a better build quality. Dropped the Touch once and it split the screen from the backing), if you run it COMPLETELY dead to where it shuts off, when you plug it in there is a waiting period where it tells you that the charge is too low to power up the device. This waiting period lasts quite a while before it will 'start' booting the device. I'm almost certain this delay is not due to charging, but rather due to a background boot process that makes the official 'start up' screen duration a LOT shorter. My guess is that when you 'turn off' an iProduct, that there is stuff that is not really 'off' at all and it's a shortened 'boot' process to turn the device back 'on', almost like an extremely low-power standby setting. Like I said, no removable battery means no way to test for sure...
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 9:49 pm
Your comment is quite interesting and does make sense. I've always taken it for granted that I can continue to use my Torch from plugging it in right after it's completely dead.

Hey . . What did you do with BruvvaPete? Why the deuce? =)
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:28 pm
For some reason something strange happened to my account where, after logging in, (from anywhere) I would get an error message telling me I have to be logged in in order leave a comment when I tried to reply to user's comments... And this is after getting no error message right after logging in. The comment input box also disappeared entirely. Creating a 2nd account was easiest since the issue couldn't be resolved.

Personally I don't care if the branding wraps its self around the device twice and has pink polka dots. I need this tool in my arsenal. And if Otterbox will play nice....branding shouldn't be a concern.
Otter box better play nice,it's a need.
My thoughts exactly. I hope they have one ready to go on release day. As a matter of fact, I hope RIM has all the accessories ready to go. When I first got my 9930, It took Blackberry months to have spare JM-1 batteries and chargers available.
Uhhhh...T-mobile kinda does have pink polka-dots :p
Schoshaii Jan 3, 2013 at 1:00 pm
So stoked for my z10....thank god rogers let me pre-order with $40 down.
Also on a side note, all my friends with iPhones seem to be having problems. My Polish friends just bricked itself and my gf's is acting hella strange lately. It's almost as if they know the bb10's are coming and they're straight up scared to death. Kcuf an iPhone!
H_O_Boomaye Jan 3, 2013 at 1:43 pm
sounds like a case of iFLU
iFLU lol that's a good one
I Don't care much about VZW branding on the Z10. It can be ignored just like my 9930. What I DO care about is VZW's infamous crapware. I want to see how badly Big Red is going to cripple the Z10. If someone out there has these phones, please boot em up. Show us what we're going to have to put up with from the carriers.
dunnsantee Jan 3, 2013 at 1:11 pm
This is my next!!!
Buy buy buy!!!
I want it so badly. Can't wait. Glad to see Verizon on board!
Don't you think its a little...too big? :) i would prefer it a lil smaller
Bbnivende Jan 3, 2013 at 1:34 pm
No -- Just right
i mean ,i've seen videos with it and it looked really really smaller, maybe its cos i got used to see it smaller that i prefer it smaller..but really i bilieve s3 size is bad, if this comes out bigger i'll still buy it, but wont be happy about it's size
ah well, its compared with iphone 4 not 5 maybe thats why i see so much different cant really tell :P
Bbnivende Jan 3, 2013 at 1:33 pm
I will be interested to see what case the Z10 and X10 ship with.
My BB9900 came with a holster . The holster would occasionally fall off when exiting the car ( eventually resulting in a lost phone) . I switched to a OEM leather sleeve that works great.
Most of the Iphone users use a bumper. The leather sleeve has kept my glass scratch free.
A holster for the Z10 would be seriously geeky.
H_O_Boomaye Jan 3, 2013 at 1:47 pm
You reminded me of a great point. Will the screen be glass, or remain whatever indestructable plastic I have on my 9930. I really hope it's not glass, because I make fun of iphone users and their spiderweb like screens all the time. I'd hate to have waited so long, just to have the same problem my competitor has. Anyone have insight?
27 Days Later...
Bbnivende Jan 3, 2013 at 2:04 pm
It is my understanding that the 9930 and 9900 are glass.
9900/9930's have glass screens. I had a spiderweb 9900 for a few days after touchdown spiking on the floor waiting for the elevator (hand actually got caught in the sleeve of my jacket and then flung out of the snag).
I believe that out of the touchscreen phones, the fullscreen Torch 9860 is the only "hardened plastic" touchscreen device.
Ugga, like most phones now, too damn big.
Agreed. Don't want a tablet, want a phone that can be easily put in my pocket. Anything bigger than the iPhone5 is too darn big!
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 4:50 pm
You two and others who say that may not realize how much you're in the minority.
I for one think the iPhone5 is perfect. Never mind that Apple is working like a "bat out of hell" to kick the iPhone5s out the door in Spring. Let's face it, nothing say perfection more than that big wonderful "home button". God it's beautiful.
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 9:52 pm
That home button is the most outdated thing on phones right now.
Sarcasm, my friend.
BruvvaPete2 Jan 4, 2013 at 2:41 am
lol I agree with ya :). The sarcasm was pretty good
digitalhomeboy Jan 3, 2013 at 2:32 pm
No, no, no...please don't tell me Rogers will brand in the same spot in the front. I was surely hoping it would stay virgin of any carrier branding, though I wouldn't argue much or care less if it was at the back.
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 4:51 pm
I've never seen branding on a Canadian phone. Let's hope that continues.
coolaide Jan 3, 2013 at 6:20 pm
I have a Rogers branded 9000
digitalhomeboy Jan 3, 2013 at 11:26 pm
I changed the bottom plate on my 9900. I love the Rogers service, just not their branding.
kazzy04 Jan 3, 2013 at 2:52 pm
Pls who knows how much d bb10 might cost?! Can't wait!!!
Too big.
Bbnivende Jan 3, 2013 at 3:22 pm
Gotta compete with Samsung... most young consumers want big. If you want small there is the X10 with your name on it. I bet the carriers were happy with the size.
BB_Bmore Jan 3, 2013 at 3:29 pm
Im seriously gonna cry!!! FINALLY BLACKBERRY FUCKING 10 IS HERE AND ITS REAL!!!!!!!
pardon my french ,I feel better now....
TommyBB Jan 3, 2013 at 3:53 pm
Lol! Exciting times!
why do we need carrier branding?
other phones don't have it.
vorpalz Jan 3, 2013 at 3:38 pm
uh oh, looks like all 3 phones are 'bricked up' lol
SoftBank and Masa-san will lose a huge cash cow opportunity if Sprint doesn't carry BlackBerry 10 at launch.
FINALLY !!! Im getting RID of my boring and old iphone 4s and getting BB again. I miss u BB, and i think im not alone.
kamalster Jan 3, 2013 at 5:03 pm
Same here!
SDTRMG Jan 3, 2013 at 10:33 pm
Switching from the iPhone 5 here.
koolrosh Jan 3, 2013 at 10:40 pm
Switching from iPhone 4 and I have never owned a BB.

Nex_Gen Jan 3, 2013 at 4:19 pm
My birthday can't come fast enough. 27 more sleeps. Phone looks sexy, OS looks sexier and the fact that's its a Blackberry makes it the sexiest.
koolrosh Jan 3, 2013 at 10:42 pm
My birthday is on February 24th. I hope the phone will be available for sale before that date.

Inco Gnito Jan 3, 2013 at 4:26 pm
OMG! These devices really seem TOO big for average customer (me included). Taking account of awful design of the qwerty devices (leaked photos) I am starting to worry this could be the end of RIM as stand-alone hardware maker.
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 4:57 pm
Average consumer? Have you noticed how massive sales of the GS3 and latest iPhone have been? Ps people calling their version of the possible end of RIM gets a bit tiresome.
revtech Jan 3, 2013 at 9:10 pm
I don't know what it is with these people, are they dwarfs or gnomes or something? This phone is ansolutely pocketable, I was thinking it could be a tad bigger. To each their own I guess.
green_ember Jan 3, 2013 at 9:22 pm
My Playbook fits in my back pocket, so I dunno what everyone's bitchin about lol
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:09 pm
Dwarfs or gnomes...lol. Love it!
I dont know. Bigger is better for the majority. Also, it's next to an iPhone which I believe is the smallest among the competition. Dont sweat it, BUT it's all preference.
Superbuddy2007 Jan 3, 2013 at 5:08 pm
I'm actually content with the carrier branding. Beats having it where the Blackberry name is. That would be absolutely awful... On a side note... The Z10 on the right does look slightly bigger than the Z10 on the left. Image stretchage maybe?
Stupified Jan 3, 2013 at 5:12 pm
A q-tip with some nail polish remover will remove the branding
I wouldn't advise this is you get insurance for the phone. Good idea though.
Stupified Jan 3, 2013 at 5:27 pm
well really they cant deny you warranty as long as the phone hasn't been taken apart or water damaged......so removing the branding shouldn't be an issue
"Pocket wear" ;)

Hey am I the first to post this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GNy7A5532eE
This is the first time I have seen BB10 running on the close to real thing instead of a dev alpha.
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 5:47 pm
That has been out for ages. Look at the date when the video was posted. (I still don't like the way that guy manhandles that beautiful device)
It will be a bit wider and taller than the iPhone?
Thats a bonus.
apache1680 Jan 3, 2013 at 5:25 pm
I'm a Verizon carrier and the winner of the Ultimate BlackBerry Contest in which I won a 64gb Playbook and phone. Glad to see Verizon will be carrying the phone. Can't wait to receive my phone when they come out.
Good for you!Congrats!
green_ember Jan 3, 2013 at 9:24 pm
Yeah, yeah... keep ruuuuuuuuubbing it in... lol
xiaohuaxing Jan 3, 2013 at 6:44 pm
phone is still fugly, beautiful face my arse. why must my next phone be so fugly??
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 7:28 pm
You're calling the new BB10 phone fugly sitting next to a phone who's form factor really hasn't changed since it was first introduced?
xiaohuaxing Jan 3, 2013 at 11:13 pm
I don't know what other phone you're talking about, I never compared it to anything. Nothing changes the fact that when I buy the phone I'll be "dealing with" how it looks. What does not having changed since intro have to do with whether something looks good or not anyway?
BruvvaPete2 Jan 4, 2013 at 2:47 am
I had thought this blog was comparing the phones in the photo. I guess I was wrong. I was under the impression the phone in the middle with that super outdated button was an iPhone.
I heard that the iPhone 5s will have big rotary dials like the old Frankenstein movies to match the home button. Talk about sexy. Woohoo.
ssbtech Jan 3, 2013 at 6:45 pm
I can't carry around a phone that big.
Sorry RIM!
I can't buy a non premium phone that is Sooooooo expensive.
Sorry Apple.
What else did the tester say about the phone?
Was there anything that he didn't like?
Would he buy one?
Please tell.
That's not bad for boot up time
FYI - Boot up time on my crap pod is 47 seconds
On my current BB, it's two minutes 27 seconds .... but mine is loaded with close to 2,000 names, addresses and phone numbers. And thousands of emails. Not sure if that will affect boot time or not.
BBGrind Jan 3, 2013 at 6:48 pm
Love it, waiting for it. Yeppyyyyy.
vicentechable Jan 3, 2013 at 6:56 pm
I can't wait for the new devices to come out, so afterwards they become available unlocked and then drop the prices to less than half of its original price.. Score!
I'm I the only one leaving the iPhone 5 for a blackberry 10 device, I still have an iPad/iPod for my apps, I bought the play book and use it about the same if not more then the iPad, but iOS has gotten very boring, the last thing I like about the iPhone was Siri and that's sad!. The iPhone 5 is really nice, and I've always felt it and the 9900 were some of the best built phones but something about the Z10 is very appealing, it looks like its on par with the iPhone for quality, maybe ill own both I've already reserved my device so its very likely. Can't wait to see reviews/drop test on these devices.
You don't seem to be. It is impossible to quantify how many will actually do it, but I have come across similar comments several times in various forums/sites over the last few days. People also mention moving from SG3 and Nexus4. I guess we will see in the coming weeks/months.
SDTRMG Jan 3, 2013 at 10:47 pm
I have seen a few in the passed few months but somemore stated checking it out or owning both os's, either way im glad I'm not the only one, I do hop blackberry 10 gains good market share, I'm not fond of android and iOS is dare I say becoming stale, plus every since leaving blackberry I wanted it back. I've been follow bb10 a while now, hope rim and bb10 become 2 if not the 3rd top mobile OS.
koolrosh Jan 3, 2013 at 10:49 pm
I'm switching from an iPhone 4. Before that I had the iPhone 3g and I have never owned a BB before, but what I have seen from BB10 to date has convinced me to switch and apparently there is more to come on Jan 30th.
To big sorry just my opinion I have a PlayBook around most the time don't need a monster like that. I'm going to have to wait for something smaller shame I was so excited waiting for bb10!
Make this as short as possible... On flight back from Philly to Ottawa, having good conversation with guy next to me about business in general and I started in on why I am such a huge BlackBerry supporter and believer. A few minutes later the guy sitting in front of me turns around and tells me he had overheard my conversation and then proceeds to show me x2 Z10 phones... He handed one to me and told me to try it out but also asked me to NOT take a picture of it... I played with it for a while and was blown away with it. Anyway that was absolutely the best flight I have ever taken and I will be in line to buy one of these the first day it is available. Cheers!
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 7:36 pm
Those positive words have reached a few thousand eyes. Thanks for the comment. It's good to read stories like this.
Bbnivende Jan 3, 2013 at 7:47 pm
Can we have more Sir ? What about the size ? Virtual trackpad? etc
kbeard26 Jan 3, 2013 at 8:20 pm
Oh why did Verizon put their logo on the front of the phone! It belongs on the back!
BB10Funding Jan 3, 2013 at 8:21 pm
I am frustrated
I was in SFR france , Orange france , Vodaphone italy
They have no idea about BB10 , not even what the phone looks like.
All shops asked me...."Blackberry is about to launch a new phone when ?"
What's going on here , why isn't Rim getting this news out.
mzceetee Jan 3, 2013 at 8:24 pm
Hope Sprint doesn't brand .,my Torch doesn't have any branding on it...if so put it on the back the case can always hide it...
Grumblegrumble Jan 3, 2013 at 8:34 pm
Very nice, Cant wait for launch date!
collinc93 Jan 3, 2013 at 8:35 pm
Positive comments from almost everyone. I hope it will be the same after they start showing up in the hands of people
A large portion of people posting think this 1st BB phone is too large. I can understand that since BB has never released a phone anywhere near this big. Not sure why RIM decided to go over 4". This is definately not a phone you put in your jean pockets. Bummer.
green_ember Jan 3, 2013 at 9:28 pm
Playbook fits in MY jeans pockets (well, the back ones anyways)
kamalster Jan 4, 2013 at 7:19 am
Sure, but not all of us dress like Kris Kross.
BruvvaPete2 Jan 3, 2013 at 10:16 pm
A large portion? I saw only a small fraction. People even put Lbs in their back pockets and some complain a smaller device won't fit in theirs. Y'all gotta stop whining about the size.
Stocklone Jan 3, 2013 at 11:02 pm
What kind of skinny jeans you wearing? I have a 4.5" phone in my pocket right now. The Z10 is going to be a SMALLER phone for me. If it was under 4" I wouldn't even buy it. I might as well have a lame old iPhone. You do realize the Galaxy Note II is selling wonderfully and that is 5.5". 4.2" is on the small side.
xiaohuaxing Jan 3, 2013 at 11:17 pm
You guys are all obviously men. Women's jeans pockets don't fit phones like that, just FYI in case you forgot about the other half of the population
BruvvaPete2 Jan 4, 2013 at 2:51 am
Pretty much the majority of females I come across, especially the younger generation, put their phones (of various makes, models and sizes) in the back pocket of their skinny jeans.
robson21 Jan 27, 2013 at 5:20 am
Size matters when one is lacking.
SDTRMG Jan 3, 2013 at 11:05 pm
4.2 isn't that big the iPhone 5 is 4".(that's a 4s in the picture, witch is 3.5)

Baroque to Bauhaus: Designs from the Tobin Collection
January 18 | June 10
Baroque to Bauhaus connects theatre designs to the larger history of visual culture from the 1600s to the early 1900s. These two styles are the antithesis of one another, with the spare, clean lines of the Bauhaus challenging the painterly illusionism of the Baroque. The Baroque theme includes modern designs in an ornate mode by artists such as Alexandre Benois and Eugene Berman, along with designs from the 1600s–1700s by Giacomo Torelli and the Bibiena family. The Bauhaus theme focuses on artists affiliated with the German school that stressed unity of art, craft, and technology in the 1920s–1930s, including Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and Grit Kallin- Fischer, as well as exponents of international Constructivism such as Alexandra Exter.

Blalock, who is tied for second in the American League with 22 home runs, doesn't particularly care who will be pitching for him Monday when he starts the home run competition at Minute Maid Park in Houston.
"Whoever is there," Blalock said. "It doesn't really make any difference to me. I'll just go up there and try to hit home runs. "
Blalock has some experience in home run hitting competitions.
"I was in one at Spring Training and I did one when I was at the Florida State League All-Star Game in 2001," Blalock said. "I got second. I went to the finals and lost by a couple of homers."

We just got this range. It looks very nice and the price is good. The best is Sears has it available within a very reasonable time.

Love this range! Particularly happy with the space in the oven and the capacity of the oven. The dual size burner has come in handy too!
Stratford, CT

Seriously... we've had this oven for just two years. I think this may have been the first cleaning cycle - and it broke! We were told (and later did some research to confirm) that is this is a common problem. Know what the online advice is? Don't use the clean cycle!!! So we just paid the repair guy almost the cost of a new range. Never again. I would either, just buy a new stove each time - or maybe its time to step up to a quality brand. Sears, you have dissapointed me.
Walnut, CA

Very easy to use,oven has decent space. Knobs are on top which is very childproof safe. Stove top is easy to clean but, needs to be wiped up immediately.

We just love this stove. Didn't need all the bells and whistle that are last range had. It matches our new Kenmore Stainless Dishwasher. I like how you can change the baking degrees so easy.

Absolutely wonderful!!! Love, love, love!!!! Easy to clean, heats up quickly, cools down quickly, cooks evenly. Perfect!

Love the stove. Only downfall is that it continues beeping until you clear the timer where my last one automatically stopped when oven door was opened.
Sharpsburg, MD
via sears.com
best stove ever, but after going without for 4 months. this GLASS TOP is better than the coils and the oven is bigger, it cooks much faster, teens are much happier. My old stove was 16 yrs. old and came with the house I built, so quite small

Endowed by the Hugo A. Anderson Chair in Scandinavian Studies in 1982 and created in 1984, the Center for Scandinavian Studies (CSS) at North Park University has firmly established itself as a major focal point for Scandinavian academic and cultural interests in Chicago. As the name suggests, the CSS provides North Park University with a Scandinavian accent not evident at many other colleges or universities.

Trying to save a Super C

Re: Trying to save a Super C
Your Super C is a 1952. They all had the C-123 engine. Standing on the right side of the tractor, you should find a machined spot on the block on the forward, upper part of the right side of the block. The engine serial number should be stamped there.

Re: Trying to save a Super C
Good to know.
Thanks again,
Right now I'm trying to get a list of things I will need come spring when I can get it inside to pull the head.
So far I know I'll need a can of kroil.
But I'm also thinking of getting plastigage, some push rods, and a head gasket set, and maybe a oil pan gasket.
In the mean time I'll just keep pushing the snow off of it and spraying mystery oil in it.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
Valve spring compressor and a torque wrench to plastigage the crankshaft journals. Probably borrow them from the auto parts store. NAPA use to have loaner tools. Perhaps other auto parts stores. You will need other specialized tools as you get deeper into the engine.
Parts. Do not order any parts until you have determined what you need - have measured the engine parts and assessed needed machine work and parts.
Example: You will need a valve cover gasket, head gasket, and pan gasket just to remove the head and pan. It may be cheaper to purchase a complete gasket set for the tractor than buying the 3 gaskets separately.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
Yup, don't buy any engine parts unless/until you have it apart. Even then you'd probably ought to wait for the advice of the machinist before buying anything.
No telling how many times its been rebuilt or what's in there. You could have standard, .002, .010, or larger oversize bearings in the mains and rods. Standard or overbore pistons/sleeves.
I think the overbore pistons give you 132 cubic inches vs. the standard 123.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
Well I decided to bring the tractor inside. Its a little tight but I think it will work.
This weekend I was able to pull the cylinder head off and drop the oil pan.
Looking at the crankshaft things don't look to bad, its fairly clean.
With the head off I'm able to get a closer look at the cylinder walls and two of them have some slight surface rust on them.
I'm kinda lost on what to do next, thinking of getting plastigage and checking the crankshaft bearings.
I'll post pics soon.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
Refresh my memory, is the engine stuck?
With the head off you could try the "fire" method. Basically you fill each cylinder with diesel fuel and light them on fire, one at a time. Clearly this should be done OUTSIDE, away from buildings.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
Not sure about building a fire in each cylinder. Any way, engine stuck or not, put enough solvent in each cylinder to cover entire edges of the piston head. Some solvent will either evaporate or drain into the crankcase - just refresh the solvent level every day. Tractor in high gear, rear wheel, rock the tractor back and forth - checking for stuck engine.
Reach inside each cylinder. Finger nail against cylinder wall drag upward - you are looking for the ring ridge. If significant, enough to catch the finger nail, you will need a ridge remover. Ridge must be removed before pulling the pistons.
I would push out each piston after plastigaging the crankshaft journal.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
There are Super C manuals posted above in the (NEW) Manuals section.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
The engine is Not stuck. All the pistons are moving.
Good to know about the ring ridge Eugene, The book I have mentions it and I know there is a special tool used. I will do the finger nail method and see what I find.
I got some plastigage today and have a few questions. In the plastigage kit it came with the "green" 0.001 to 0.003 inch and the "red" 0.002 to 0.006 inch.
I'm wondering what one I should use because in the service manual under the specifications section for the crankshaft its a little confusing.
There are three main bearings on the crankshaft. What I'm confused with is the differeance between the main bearing running clearance which is 0.0009 to 0.0039
and the Maximum permissible main bearing clearance which is 0.0055.
Which one do I go by and what size plasitgage do I use?
Re: Trying to save a Super C
Use the .002 - .006, or the red stick.
Running clearance is the measurement between the dry (no oil) bearing insert and the dry crankshaft journal on a newly rebuilt engine. Maximum permissible clearance is = time for an overhaul. Kinda a rule of thumb is that you want .001" of clearance for each inch of crankshaft journal diameter.
Not sure where the .0009" clearance came from. I&T, IH-8 lists the Series C main bearing running clearance as .001 - .0035. Since the C's main journals (standard) are listed at 2.124 - 2.125" I would like to see around .002" clearance with new inserts.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
Thank you
That definitely helps.
I was thinking;
When I go to torque the bolts on the main bearings (to 78 foot-pounds) I think I'm going to have to use an extension on my torque wrench.
Will the extension on the wrench affect my accuracy? I'm using the clicker type torque wrench.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
In theory, a socket extension will have an effect as the extension itself will have some torsional twist. It is well within the margin of error in your wrench, however. There are tables out there that can be used if you are curious, but it would probably be more beneficial to calibrate the wrench than worry about the extension! Edit: thinking about this, the torque is transmitted right through the entire system and as long as everything is straight you are OK. Something like a crow's foot would change things as you are changing your fulcrum.
If you are talking about a cheater bar on the end of the wrench to get more leverage- that is meaningless.
Re: Trying to save a Super C
Good to know about the torque wrench, thank you.
I used the "red" plastigage last night on the center main bearing. I wiped everything clean before I used it and after torqueing the bolts to the 78 ft lbs I got
I have not done the other two bearings yet. Question I have is should the bolts be dry? I didn't clean the oil off of the bolts before re-torqueing them.
Also will the temp in the garage affect my results? It has been pretty cold here in NH, I bet it was around 10 degrees F in the garage last night.
My plan is to do the other two bearings tonight. I'm also going to use a different torque wrench tonight to see how it compares to the one I have been
Re: Trying to save a Super C
This will tell you all you need to know about torquing bolts under different conditions: http://www.farmallcub.com/fcman/download.php?fname=./files/Reference%20Info/Torque%20*%20Bolt%20ID.pdf
Re: Trying to save a Super C
.005" is at the upper end of permitted clearance. Temperature will make a very minor difference in the clearance reading. Not enough difference to change the .005" indicated clearance. Remove the bearing insert from the rod and main caps and record the numbers with cap and insert location. Numbers will indicate the journal size.
I have an excuse. CRS.

Get the whole family back to school with Smart Restart
Wednesday, 28 August 2013
Hampshire's leading health councillor, Liz Fairhurst, is urging families in Hampshire to make the most of the fresh start to the new school year by signing up to the Change4Life 'Smart Restart' when the kids go back to the classroom. Families are being encouraged to take on one change for the better, for six weeks - to help them lead healthier lifestyles.
"By the end of summer we can all tend to slack off a bit and it's easy to let good intentions slide. But the new school year is the perfect time for a new beginning and for the whole family to get fit and healthy together," said Councillor Fairhurst, who is Executive Member for Health and Wellbeing at Hampshire County Council. "This is a great opportunity for families to sign up for their FREE Smart Restart campaign and pick one healthy change for them to adopt when they go back to school."
Keeping active and eating well are crucial for adults and children to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and are important in helping children's bodies and brains develop. It will boost their concentration at school, helping them make this the best start to a new school year yet.
Change4Life has created five changes to be followed for six weeks, which encourage healthier eating and moving more such as making healthier lunches, swapping to healthier snacks and keeping a limit on screen time. Families are encouraged to choose just one of these small changes when they return for the new school year. Once signed up, families will receive support from Change4Life via email and text messages for six weeks from the start of term, as well as details of special offers, competitions and virtual rewards for the kids.
The five Smart Restart changes families can choose from are:
- Stretch your legs - encouraging families to swap car or bus journeys for walking, scooting or cycling
- 10-minute moves - incorporating fun ten minute activities into lives to help build to the goal of at least 60 active minutes a day
- Screen-time switch - encouraging limiting screen time and swapping time in front of the TV, tablet or computer for something active
- Beat the treats - encouraging families to swap unhealthy treats for healthy alternatives
- Super lunches - help keep children going through the school day with ideas for quick and tasty lunches
Just search Change4Life online to sign up for the six week back to school programme, you'll be able to download the FREE Smart Restart app, and receive loads of tips and tools to help you and your family make this one small change become a healthy habit.

Re: Secure your Load
I looked the pictures over pretty close, and saw no pictures of chains or binders anywhere in them. In all the pictures the trailer is down in the unloading position, but i suspect when it was raised for transport the floor would have been higher. My guess would be he hit his brakes for traffic and the loader went over the top of the goose neck of the trailer and just slid on forward.

Re: Secure your Load
Some very good advice, wish I had been paying attention to it early last summer. Don't even remember where I was going, but it was supposed to rain the next day, so late at night I loaded my cub on the trailer parked under a metal carport, thinking I would tie it down the next morning in the day light. Got in the truck and pulled it up to house to load some other stuff, and when I looked in the mirror the tractor was rolling backward on the trailer. Thank goodness I had put the tailgate in. Have not waited to tie one down since.
Reading some of the comments, one of the responders said there were chains laying around, and close examination of the pictures showed what appeared to be at least 2 binders laying on the ground. I commented about the front of the trailer being on the ground, but Rabbit Holler Flash said it was locked in the low transport position when he looked at the pictures. If you compare the long building behind it in some of the pictures, it appears he was going down a fairly good grade.

Re: Secure your Load
And I always thought log haulers were the one's taking a chance. Course, that's was a heavy load on wheels. Feel for the family.

Re: Secure your Load
I worked for a major Flatbed hauling Co. We hauled it if it would fit on the trailer. A lot of steel coils from up north, down to Laredo TX then into MX.
We all went through a full week of training on loading, strapping, and tarping.
New guy gets his first load, a 50k lb steel coil in the middle of winter. The coils were loaded inside the building, and once on his trailer, he asked the loader how they strap them down.
Operator said "most just tarp them and go". So he did.
When he arrived in Laredo several days later, as normal, the safety man helped him untarp his load.
He got fired on the spot.
As we were sitting around talking about it later that day, the safety inspector said that perhaps we should not have fired him. That anyone that can haul a steel coil from the frozen north, to the Rio Grande, with no chains and just a tarp on it without it moving
Is a darn good driver.
He still lost his job.
Re: Secure your Load
Yeah he possibly was a very good driver, he was certainly a very LUCKY driver.

The race for the Heisman Trophy is like a political campaign. There's jockeying for position among the pretenders and contenders and then after a few early rounds -- where the dreamers fall to the wayside -- the real battle begins.
That's where the race to be named college football's best player stands today. Teams are four weeks into the season and individual statistics should have been burnished by picking apart lesser competition. They now turn to about two months of conference face-offs where Saturday showdowns will become more intense and survivors live to fight another day.
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller has missed the past two games with an ankle injury. He lost a great opportunity to pad his stat sheet when he watched OSU destroy Florida A&M, 76-0. Then there's South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney, who needed huge numbers to stay in the discussion. But 10 total tackles in three games, only two of which were sacks, have hushed much of the early Heisman talk in Columbia.
So where do we stand? If you're a quarterback and the pro scouts are still checking you out, you remain a front-runner. Other position players remain in contention but need some good fortune on the backstretch if they have any hope of dashing home a winner.
Then there's this reminder from Heismanpundit.com that the trophy winner isn't necessarily the one getting the hype in August. No early favorite has won the Heisman since 2007, it pointed out. Outside College Station, there wasn't much talk about Johnny Manziel before the 2012 season began. Believe it or not, Florida's Tim Tebow and Oklahoma's Sam Bradford weren't always established names. Same with Alabama's Mark Ingram, Auburn's Cam Newton and Baylor's Robert Griffin III.

U.S. News & World Report BROOKS HAYS TELLS INSIDE STORY OF LITTLE ROCK What went on behind the scenes in those tense weeks of 1957 before federal troops marched into Little Rock, Ark.? Could that situation have been handled without the use of armed paratroopers? One man who knows both sides of the story is a former Representative in Congress, Brooks Hays, who acted as a mediator between the White House and Governor Orval E. Faubus. Now Mr. Hays has told the story in a book, "A Southern Moderate Speaks." Excerpts from that book are presented here. In it, Mr. Hays describes the growth of tension as the hour of integration approached, and tells about the negotiations that sought a peaceable solution-and why they failed. Mr. Hays also suggests some things that might have been done to avoid violence. by Brooks Hays In September, 1956, Little Rock was heralded as a city whose plan for slow, gradual and voluntary integration could serve as a model for many cities in the South. In an article in "U. S. News & World Report" on September 28 of that year, entitled "How One Southern City Plans to Integrate," the pattern adopted by the Little Rock school board was presented as a "workable compromise" likely to be accepted by both sides in the school-integration dispute. Virgil T. Blossom, superintendent of schools, had joined his board in trying to adjust the school system in accordance with the Supreme Court's May, 1954, decision. Just six days after that decision, the board stated: "It is our responsibility to comply with federal constitutional requirements, and we intend to do so when the Supreme Court . . . outlines the method to be followed." A rough draft of the plan that was finally accepted was completed shortly before the Court ruled that implementation of "all deliberate speed" would be left to federal district courts. According to the plan as finally accepted, integration would take place first at the high-school level, since the smallest number of pupils would be involved and the least strain would be put on Little Rock's educational standards. After this first step had been thoroughly tested for at least two years, junior high schools would begin this moderate integration. The last stage, involving the elementary schools, would follow another test period, and the whole process would take from five to 10 years to be completed. Even then, the integration that took place would be on a voluntary basis, since pupils would be permitted to transfer from one school to another. This, then, is what Little Rock was prepared to do by September, 1957. The NAACP [National Association for the Advancement of Colored People], early in 1956, however, after some Negroes had been refused immediate admittance to white schools, appealed to the federal courts for an order to end segregation in Little Rock. The school board presented its plan for gradual integration to Judge John E. Miller of the United States District Court in Arkansas. He approved the plan on Aug. 28, 1956, calling it a "prompt and reasonable start" toward compliance with the Supreme Court's ruling, and praised the school board for acting "in utmost good faith." When the NAACP appealed to the U. S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals for reversal, the court upheld Judge Miller's decision. This was the status of Little Rock's integration program until August of 1957. During this last month before the school-board plan was to go into effect, forces were at work to prevent the peaceful accomplishment of this result.
