RIM’s BlackBerry gets stamped by Canada Post

By on August 15, 2011 at 7:22am in Mobile News


Forget the recent William & Kate commemorative stamps. RIM’s BlackBerry smartphone has been immortalized on ink in the Canada Post “Made in Canada” inventor series. In total there are four inventions that were honoured: Electric Oven, Pacemaker, Electric Wheelchair and the BlackBerry.

Curious why the BlackBerry smartphone made the cut? In the description it was because in “1999, when Research in Motion (RIM) founders Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie introduced the now iconic BlackBerry. Their invention freed information workers from their desks and changed the way the world communicates. Subsequent versions and continuous innovation have kept RIM and its BlackBerry device a front runner in the massive smart phone market.”

  4. They should have included the track ball into the picture because that was the common thing in BBs when BB was the top cellphone company.

  5. Gotta love what Canadians invented! Okay, the BlackBerry still needs a little catching up to do. Video chatting is almost essential, and the fast modems help make this seamless. So BlackBerry, make sure to survive and not just remain a stamp! :|
