About encryption history

[edit]

I just found this history of why encryption has been added to BlackBerry devices:

Little known history: BlackBerry 'became encrypted' because back in the days when it was really just a 'pager with email' - North American carriers (channel partners) were actually reading BB executives emails during negotiations (!!!). BB discovered this and decided to start with the encryption. Seriously - the first 'illegal' act was by BB customers/channel partners!

Needs a longer page name to distinguish a brand/product from 'Blackberry' fruit

[edit]

This may be the most extreme example of the confusion that can be caused by case-sensitivity in page URLs.

These currently valid URLs are too confusingly similar:

The presence of the extra loop on the top of the capital 'B' at mid-word is easy to overlook. -72.71.132.119 (talk) 21:22, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BlackBerryBlackBerry (devices) – At this point, there is no WP:PTOPIC for "BlackBerry" between the line of smartphones known as BlackBerry, and the company BlackBerry Limited which was formerly known as Research in Motion. Prior to 2013, usage was clear: "BlackBerry" referred to the line of smartphones, while "RIM" referred to the company behind them. RIM's 2013 decision to rebrand as "BlackBerry" has created confusion: now "BlackBerry" can equally refer to the line of smartphones or the company. The existing title should redirect to Blackberry (disambiguation). feminist (talk) 13:19, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
