BlackBerry is a comedic take on the true story of the titular smartphone company's rise and eventual downfall. Here's what actually happened.
BlackBerry tells the true story of the dramatic rise and fall of the titular mobile phone company. Directed by Matt Johnson, the movie attempts to uncover the story behind the shift in BlackBerry’s business dynamics from the perspectives of major players, including founder Mike Lazaridis and the company’s former co-CEO Jim Balsille .
Even though Lazaridis was more in the forefront than Fregin, the childhood friends were on good terms for most of their careers at BlackBerry. The BlackBerry fan blog CrackBerry adds that the communications company’s first product to carry the BlackBerry name was a 1999 pager christened BlackBerry 850. As reported by Quartz, the name originated from the device’s dotted keypad that vaguely resembled the bumpy skin of fruits like blackberries.
The BlackBerry 5810 proved to be a game changer as, along with its technological capabilities, its unique design and keypad made for a stylish purchase. In fact, as BlackBerry's official website claimed, the company introduced “the first of what we would think of as being the modern smartphone.
