ran 1999 . Companies increasingly need to be more in touch with their employees while traveling around the country. Internet was not even a tenth of what it is today. At that time there was talk of a company called RIM ( Research in Motion Limited ) that sought to revolutionize the world with a new form of communication … poor fools! How could I have hit a “pileup” that would answer emails from anywhere? That was impossible to make! With the release of RIM 850 Wireless Handheld calendar , RIM showed the world that change is coming in the next decade.
This release practically coincided with the entry of RIM on NYSE , which earned him the company of hundreds of entry million. The wireless messaging system that used this company was called BlackBerry , and was so successful that the managers were forced to adopt this name for all these devices. It was from this time that he began to be written the true story of BlackBerry .
In 2002 came the first BlackBerry mobile that allowed calls (just over ten years ago that there is this technology, who I would say today?). With the BlackBerry 6710 and their essential headset for making calls, the company delved into the final conquest of the mobile telephony market.
Years passed and BlackBerry still reaping millions of dollars around United States and even the world. In 2003 BlackBerry 6210 , the BlackBerry 7230 and BlackBerry 7280 presented. These phones were taking a much more modern and increasingly were being more compact, plus they were beginning to include a color screen. More and more people are interested in moving this company (both professional and private). And watch out, RIM shares worth less than $ 30 .
We
2004 . Mobile BlackBerry continue to evolve and the company already has over a million users worldwide. RIM shares still worth just over $ 30 . That same year it launched the BlackBerry 71000 , including Bluetooth and a much smaller keyboard. Such was the success of this mobile that came shortly after the BlackBerry 7290 , supporting quad-band GSM , also Bluetooth , a much sharper screen and more internal storage.
‘re already 2005 . BlackBerry keeps winning fans all over the world, surpassing the already widely four million users . This year we launched the BlackBerry 8700 , who won users with its colorful display and personalization options including issues. Employers had a mobile to meet their business from anywhere in the world and young people could communicate with each other without paying for messages.

2007 things were phenomenal BlackBerry , as the company had over ten million users and RIM shares were over $ 117 . What could go wrong?
started approach the year 2008 – 2009 . IPhone Apple is starting to have a great acceptance worldwide, and increasingly most interest among users. At the same time we see the arrival of the HTC Dream , the first mobile phone with Android operating system . BlackBerry begins to see how market share is increasingly exposed to competition. The reign of the mobile giant is beginning to falter.
BlackBerry tries to fight these two new phones launching competitors like BlackBerry Storm or the BlackBerry 10 platform. But it is not enough. Definitely Apple and Android are sweeping the market. Years pass and the company’s stock plummet appear huge losses, no one knows how to react to competition until recently was not taken into account either as a possible risk.
And wetoday. Current situation BlackBerry could be defined as something like “every man for himself “. Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie give up their shared chief executives and give way to a manager so only spent four years with the company since. At the same time, thousands of employees lose their jobs in the company overnight.
would take a crystal ball to predict the future of the company, but actually things are looking very bad today.
NOTE: Obviously throughout this article have been many, many BlackBerry phones on the road that have not been mentioned. The history of this company would for several books, but overall this is a pretty concise summary of its history and the reasons for their technical bankruptcy.
