Sadly I know a lot of people that this applies to….. from Wordsbrand.
Great, no... Titanic Machine
Nice to read about this happening in North America and not Asia. Reminds Americans to remember to think big again.

"The easy explanation for what happened to R.I.M. is that, like so many other companies, it got run over by Apple. But the real problem is that the technology world changed, and R.I.M. didn’t. The BlackBerry was designed for businesses. Its true customers weren’t its users but the people who run corporate information-technology departments. The BlackBerry gave them what they wanted most: reliability and security. It was a closed system, running on its own network. The phone’s settings couldn’t easily be tinkered with by ordinary users. So businesses loved it, and R.I.M.’s assumption was that, once companies embraced the technology, consumers would, too."

Smartphones: Is it about security or productivity?
I find Blackberry devices to be vastly superior for email than anything else. They are also a little more secure as data is centrally routed and encrypted.
But the economy is about productivity, not security. That is why people are switching. You can just do more faster on an iPhone and some Android devices.
Love the comment in the thread below the article from the “executive” who has used all the other “toys” and only the Blackberry passes his mustre. Unbelievable.
