The Rise And Fall Of BlackBerry

[DOPExPIRATE]

When i got my first blackberry it felt like i was a CEO. Lol

[ashrektum]

The more I watch these fall of big companies, the more I realize how these big companies fail:
1. Ego
2. Underestimating competition
3. Not accepting change

I remember back in college around 2010 people at school are so hype getting a BlackBerry phone because when you post something on Facebook and it shows "via BlackBerry". hahaha

[arjunprakash]

The narrators voice feels so emotional
And it's like she is waiting for the rise of blackberry again

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

All phones rise and fall

Nokia falls and makes a hole into the center of the earth

[MrSnaKe]

I remember when Apple and BlackBerry were just fruits.

My older sister had a blackberry back when she was at college and I still remember when I was I child she recorded me singing a children's song and made it her ringtone. It was really cute to be honest.

When you go from industry leader to 0% market share, it's called a RIM job.

[goodgreatlife]

Someday even facebook, google and apple would also disappear.

I loved the last line "A company so set it in its ways, it cemented its own demise"

[sabszied]

School memories of people shouting "BBM me!" 🤣 I never owned one.

[Justme-nvm]

How old are you???


Me: I still remember back in the day when blackberry was more popular than the iPhone

[HeyItsTheWykydtron]

I have to say, I missed those tiny QWERTY physical keypad. The way you can type complete words fast without any mistakes.

[bbenjers]

“So set in its ways that it cemented it’s own demise.” Great lesson.

[split]

When I hear "students"
I dont expect bald men

[jailene]

I remember when I was in 8th grade, everyone wanted the BlackBerry lol. I even had my parents get me one because I wanted to have a bbm so I could be included in my school's social circles

[albear]

That's what happens when companies get so cocky and lazy while they rest on their past laurels. Business 101.

[mediawatcher]

I completely forgot about blackberry, I remember I used to see that phone all over the place as a kid

[landyncarson]

"People just simple didn't wanna give up their keyoards."

Guys this is an exact parallel to apple's homebutton!

I remember playing brick breaker on my parents blackberries when I was a child. I miss the 2000s
