  • (“Blackberry”), Readings
    Name: ........................................................................................................ ID: ............................................. Section: Analytical Report (“BlackBerry”), Readings Company profiled: [Text 1] How Blackberry Fell By Vauhini Vara, August 12, 2013 The New Yorker http://www.newyorker.com/tech/elements/how‐blackberry‐fell From 1998 onwards, many businesses and governments brought BlackBerry phones for their staff and employees. Shares peaked in BlackBerry at $263 in 2007. This was the point in time when Apple introduced the first iPhone. Following the iPhone’s launch, BlackBerry executives decided to let Apple focus on the consumer smartphone market while it would rely on the business and government markets. Between 1990 and 2005, BlackBerry was one of the world’s most innovative builders of email communications gadgets. The company was founded in 1984 by two engineering students, Mike Lazaridis and Douglas Fregin. However, the story between 2007 and 2013 was one of missed opportunities. First, the company failed to recognize that the iPhone was a direct competitor. In addition, it ignored the threat of low-cost smartphone competitors in Asia. By 2009, the “consumerisation” of business technology began (BlackBerry failed to realise this). When BlackBerry phone users finished work, they then picked up their iPhones to use at home. This is because iPhones were easier and more fun to use. Soon, people wanted to use their iPhones at work as well as at home. Businesses then realised that workers would be more productive if they could choose which brand of phone to use at work. Following this, the shift from BlackBerry to the iPhone started to grow. By the time BlackBerry realized it needed to reach consumers directly, it was too late.

  • Hearing Aid Compatibility with Blackberry Smartphones
    Hearing Aid Compatibility with BlackBerry Smartphones About hearing aid compatibility Several BlackBerry smartphones have received certification from the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) stating that the smartphones meet the hearing aid compatibility requirements. BlackBerry smartphones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than wireless devices that are not rated. M4 is the higher of the two ratings. BlackBerry smartphones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more compatible with a hearing device's telecoil (T-coil, T Switch, or Telephone Switch) than wireless devices that are not rated. T4 is the higher of the two ratings. Not all hearing devices have telecoils in them. Results might vary depending on the hearing device and the degree of hearing loss. If your hearing device is vulnerable to interference, you might not be able to use a rated wireless device successfully. The best way to evaluate compatibility of your hearing device and a rated wireless device is to test the devices together and consult with your hearing health professional. For more information about hearing aid compatibility, see the Description of Hearing Aid Compliance Ratings booklet at http://www.blackberry.com/accessibility. Hearing aid compatibility ratings The following table lists BlackBerry smartphones rated for hearing aid compatibility and their respective M and T ratings. Note: M and T compatibility ratings apply only to cellular bands. Smartphone Wi-Fi

  • 1.0 Executive Summary 1.1 History of Blackberry in 1984, Mike Lazaridis
    1.0 Executive Summary 1.1 History of blackberry In 1984, Mike Lazaridis founded an electronics and computer science consulting company called Research In Motion (RIM). For years the company focused on a breakthrough technology, which they called it as the ―BlackBerry‖. It is an easy, secure, and effective device that allowed users to send and receive e-mails while away from the office. Since email had become so popular, people who were on the go needed a way to access their email without having to find a computer. RIM grew into one of the world‘s most valuable tech companies. The BlackBerry became the indispensable accessory of business executives, heads of state, and Hollywood celebrities. The first BlackBerry smart phone was developed in 2003 and in a remarkably short time, they have managed to completely change the way that people communicate. This was a device that not only functioned as a telephone but also allowed for the sending or receiving of email and text messages as well as web browsing. RIM‘s BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) instant messaging service is once popular before. The plan of BBM was to push wireless carriers to adopt as a replacement for their short text messaging system (SMS) applications. 1.2 Current competitive position Since the introduction of the BlackBerry, there was a lot of competitors have appeared on the market and now they are competing with some of the biggest companies in the telecommunications industry. This competition combined with improving technology has resulted in a huge increase in the number of functions that you will find on your BlackBerry.

The phone buyback leader beats the competition on virtually all Blackberry models and offers pricing on 30 models, more than double the number Gazelle.com accepts. Additionally, SmartphoneTradeIn.com offers a 20 percent bonus for phones in excellent condition.
