Blackberry?

Nokia?

No, the BlackBerry wasn’t even close to being the same magnitude hit as the iPhone.

Nokia is a company not a product. They’ve released a tremendous number of products, none of which came close to the iPhone.

We’re talking about a product that captured greater than 100% of the profits for the entire smartphone market one year. That brought in more revenue than most countries. How often does that happen?
