Today’s a big day for tech history. On the 19th of January 1999, Research In Motion (RIM) introduced the BlackBerry, a game-changer for business communication.
Did you own one?
Back then, the original BlackBerries looked more like oversized pagers than the sleek devices we’re familiar with today.
Fun fact: Did you know that the name ‘BlackBerry’ was inspired by the buttons on the device resembling blackberry fruit? Those Canadians sure had a creative touch.
In 2001, the BlackBerry production facility in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, was a lot smaller than you might think. Yet, it played a pivotal role in revolutionising mobile communication.
Join us in celebrating this milestone and give a nod to the BlackBerry for paving the way for real-time email on the go.
