wait was blackberry canadian?
Yeah. RIM (the company behind BlackBerry, before they just rebranded to “BlackBerry”) was Canada’s most lucrative company right up until the release of the iPhone. They focused entirely on the enterprise market and didn’t think there was as much demand for consumer smartphones. Shame they didn’t see the writing on the wall until it was too late to pivot.
