meh, I don't need to read that to know why crackberry failed. It's called the iphone. I'm completely guessing here but I bet if you chart the fall of the crackberry you will see a direct correlation with the rise of the iphone. That, and the fact that other HUGE companies like Samsung are cranking out great platforms like the Galaxy and you have a recipe for extinction. |
iPhone is next. Galaxy and others are already better. Just will take some time to convince folks.

I still have a BB somewhere. I loved the damn thing. I could type on that awesome keyboard quicker than I could on my PC. But I must admit, I just got the new iPhone and I'm loving it more.

I develop a browser app that was to support all platforms. RIM's browsers have rivaled IE for biggest pile for several years. So much happier now that we no longer supporting them.

They squandered it. |
RIM's executives took the wrong lesson from the apocryphal Henry Ford quote, "If I had asked my customers what they wanted they would have said a faster horse." It doesn't mean that you should dismiss all customer feedback, just that customers are bad at coming up with innovations. RIM decided to give up on innovating and just push old technology.

Yeah, Blackberry was entrenched as THE phone for business. This was even after the iPhone came out as there were questions of its security , at least initially.

I agree with the person earlier who said it was their own arrogance that did them in.....they reminded me of the techie character from SNL that had the obnoxious attitude toward people who asked questions.
I had a Blackberry in 2005-2007 and it was great then. When I was at a larger company from 2007 to 2011 they just went downhill like an Olympic skier. When you would call to ask them about phone issues they were slow to respond and their first response was always "have you rebooted your phone" |
