That is the craziest, very incorrect story. They don't exist because they got murdered by the smart phone. They chose not to pivot towards the future and destroyed themselves.

That was a part of the reason but if you remember, they were in and out of US courts of infringement rights, or this reason and that. The president himself had one until "being it was an offshore provider." and Apple has caught up. Yeah, they might have been slow on the upgrade; however, the Americans helped Blackberry go by way of the do-do bird. They do not like the competition... The whole story is not so crazy. Living in the BB community, you hear all kinds of stories you will not read.

That's interesting, I was told a different story by people connected with RIM. As you said when you live in the BB community, you hear all kinds of stories that you will not read.
