The Most Expensive Blackberry Products Out There

Blackberry Service Outages Spreads To The US

Formerly known as Research in Motion Limited and founded in 1984, BlackBerry Limited was one of the most innovative and dominating giants at the forefront of the smartphone revolution. Headquartered in Ontario, Canada, the company’s dominance has waned in recent years due to intense competition from Google’s Android and Apple’s iPhone products. But after a few years of restructuring efforts, BlackBerry is once again fighting its way back to the top with new business-oriented phones harking back to the classic BlackBerry styles. The smartphone company has also gifted the world with a slew of outrageously eye-catching, efficient and downright expensive phones over the years. Scroll on down to see for yourself.
