- mixmax 16y agoWhat a great way of turning my argument around. Kudos :-)
- m0nastic 16y agoI realize you're being clever by substituting the original poster's argument, but RIM did indeed create a new category. When the Blackberry shipped, it wasn't a smartphone. It wasn't a phone at all. It was a dedicated email device. And it was pretty much alone in that category. It became popular in businesses that had previously been using pagers (specifically 2-way pagers), and eventually they added a phone component (which was actually terrible for the first few iterations).
