This week started off kind of on the quiet side, but if there's one company that will never let quiet stand, it's Samsung. So they mixed things up with the announcement of the latest in their popular big-screened stylus-toting Note series, the Samsung Galaxy Note 5.
It's an impressive device on its own, but Samsung somehow felt it wasn't enough and also gave us the Galaxy S6 edge+, a bigger version of their interesting, if expensive, Galaxy S6 edge.
Of course, Samsung wasn't the only thing going on. BlackBerry CEO John Chen articulated details on the next step in BlackBerry's turnaround strategy(while we saw more leaks of their rumored Android-powered slider smartphone). iMore showed you just how to sell your old iPhone as we ramp up to the new iPhone 6s, and is giving away an iPhone 6s on Twitter. In Windows land the Windows 10 party continues with a complete guide to customization and the release of the latest Windows 10 Mobile preview.

3.CrackBerry — QNX, BBM and BlackBerry's turnaround strategy
While we had some new hardware to look at last week in the form of the BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition and some leaked BlackBerry 'Venice' slider renders, this week was a little slower paced but just as important. In light of the recent automotive hacks BlackBerry found themselves clearing the air surrounding their subsidiary QNX's involvement. They also found time to begin rolling out a new BBM beta with PayPal integration. Plus, we got a fresh interview with BlackBerry CEO John Chen where he lays out BlackBerry's turnaround strategy.
