I seem to recall a big controversy at the time when RIM butted heads with Saudi Arabia about adding back doors into their messaging and RIM bent over and did it for them.

And the US government played no part in the demise of RIM. Apple ate their lunch when they released the iPhone and RIM was so arrogant they decided they had the business market cornered and kept puttering along status quo. Then iPhone started getting enterprise adoption and Blackberry lost its last competitive advantage.

It’s sad there’s no Blackberry anymore but it died because of a foot gun.
