Blackberry turns Sweet Sixteen today! The first Blackberry device was announced in 1999 by Research in Motion which introduced wireless email solution for mobile professionals. It was a breakthrough in mobile technology and it was also a huge success back then.
Today on twitter, the company gave a shout out to its device:
The company was riding high in 2007 and 2008 with a stock price that reached a peak near $140. BlackBerry devices were known for their fabulous QWERTY keyboards, and the BlackBerry OS offered what many considered the best email client and calendar application. But along came the Apple iPhone and its touchscreen in 2007, and things were never the same again. In retrospect, the company's co-CEOs didn't take the iPhone seriously and their hubris came back to bite them in the rear.
