Once the smartphone of choice for anyone with a business card, BlackBerry has seen its enterprise lead gradually chiselled away by rival devices. Now RIM is setting about trying to keep its handset relevant in a world where the iPhone and bring-your-own IT are increasingly common.
silicon.com takes a look back at how the device has developed since the first BlackBerry hit the shelves over 10 years ago.
