Talking Tech- How to install Whatsapp in BB Z10

I am not going to "re-write" a review about the Balckberry Z10 but to simply show you the simplest way to sideload/ install some famous android apps into your blackberry Z10. (For those apps that are not available in Blackberry world yet)

I am sure you would agree with me that the Z10 is a one hell of a well designed device from Blackberry coupled with full gesture-base user-interface.

To cut things short, here are steps on how you sideload whatsapp into your blackberry z10.

First of all, you need to download some programs to your computer before sideloading the app.

• Download and install the Java Runtime Environment suited for your PC. - Link
• Download and install the DDPB installer - Link
• Download Whatsapp bar file - Link

Once you have completed the above, you need to set up your BlackBerry 10 device for developer mode. To gain access to these settings, you can go to Settings > Security and Privacy > Development Mode. Just tap the on button where you will be presented with a screen either asking you enter your password or if you do not currently have one set, it will ask you to create one. Remember this password, it is important. Copy down the IP address too.

Next, you're going to open up the DDPB program from your PC you've downloaded and installed previously. Once up and running, connect your BlackBerry to your computer using the USB cable. Key in the IP address where it says "IP Development Mode" and click Scan. Key in the device password and click connect. (It will be the same password which you previously created when enabling Development Mode)

Once your device is connected with DDPB, simply click on the "Add" button then browse to where you stored your downloaded .BAR files and add them to the list.

Wahhh lahhhhh, your app will be installed.

Last but not least, please proceed to turn off the Development Mode.

Enjoy your Z10 and Whatsapp!
