Founder and former co-CEO of BlackBerry RIM, founded in, first developed the 900, announced on September 18, 1996. The Inter@ctive Pager 900 was a -type device that allowed two-way paging. After the success of the 900, the Inter@ctive Pager 800 was created for IBM, which bought US$10 million worth of them on February 4, 1998. The next device to be released was the Inter@ctive Pager 950, on August 26, 1998. The very first device to carry the BlackBerry name was the BlackBerry 850, an email pager, released January 19, 1999. Although identical in appearance to the 950, the 850 was the first device to integrate email and the name Inter@ctive Pager was no longer used to brand the device. The first BlackBerry device, the 850, was introduced in 1999 as a two-way pager in Munich, Germany.
The name BlackBerry was coined by the marketing company. The name was chosen due to the resemblance of the keyboard's buttons to that of the that compose the fruit. The original BlackBerry devices, the RIM 850 and 857, used the network. In 2002, the more commonly known smartphone BlackBerry was released, which supports push email, mobile telephone, text messaging, and other wireless information services. BlackBerry gained market share in the mobile industry by concentrating on email. BlackBerry began to offer email service on non-BlackBerry devices, such as the, through the proprietary BlackBerry Connect software. The original BlackBerry device had a display while newer models installed color displays.
All newer models have been optimized for ', the use of only the to type on a keyboard. The Storm 1 and Storm 2 include a keypad for typing. Originally, system navigation was achieved with the use of a scroll wheel mounted on the right side of device models prior to the 8700.
The trackwheel was replaced by the trackball with the introduction of the Pearl series, which allowed four-way scrolling. The trackball was replaced by the optical trackpad with the introduction of the Curve 8500 series.
Models made to use networks, such as, and also incorporate a (PTT) feature, similar to a. On January 30, 2013, BlackBerry announced the release of the Z10 and Q10 smartphones. Both models consist of touch screens: the Z10 features an all-touch design and the Q10 combines a QWERTY keyboard with touchscreen features.
During the second financial quarter of 2013, BlackBerry sold 6.8 million handsets, but was eclipsed by the sales of competitor Nokia's model for the first time. On August 12, 2013, BlackBerry announced the intention to sell the company due to their increasingly unfavourable financial position and competition in the mobile industry.
Largely due to lower than expected sales on the, BlackBerry announced on September 20, 2013 that 4,500 full- and part-time positions (an estimated 40% of its operating staff) have been and its product line has been reduced from six to four models. On September 23, 2013, which owns a 10% in BlackBerry, made an offer to BlackBerry for $4.7 billion (at $9.00 per share).

On November 13, 2013, Chen released an open message: 'We are committed to reclaiming our success.' In early July 2014, the TechCrunch online publication published an article titled 'BlackBerry Is One Of The Hottest Stocks Of 2014, Seriously', following a 50 percent rise in the company's stock, an increase that was greater than peer companies such as Apple and Google; however, an analysis of BlackBerry's financial results showed that neither revenue or profit margin were improved, but, instead, costs were markedly reduced. During the same period, BlackBerry also introduced the new handset — consisting of a 4.5 inches (11 cm) square screen with 'Full HD-class' (1,440 x 1,440) resolution and marketed to professional fields such as healthcare and architecture — promoted its Messenger app and released minor updates for the BB10 mobile operating system.

In September 2015, BlackBerry officially unveiled the, a slider that utilizes the Android operating system with additional security and productivity-oriented features inspired by the BlackBerry operating systems. However, BlackBerry COO Marty Beard told Bloomberg that 'The company’s never said that we would not build another BB10 device.'
On July 26, 2016 the company hinted that another model with a physical keyboard was 'coming shortly'. The same day, BlackBerry unveiled a mid-range Android model with only an on-screen keyboard, the, powered by the latest version of Android, 6.0, Marshmallow. (The Priv could also be upgraded to 6.0) This device featured a 5.2-inch full high-definition display. BlackBerry chief security officer David Kleidermacher stressed data security during the launch, indicating that this model included built-in malware protection and encryption of all user information. Industry observers pointed out that the DTEK50 is a re-branded version of the with additional security-oriented software customizations, manufactured and designed.

The device features a 5.5-inch Quad-HD touch screen display running on Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor with support for Quick Charge 3.0, USB Type-C, and a fingerprint sensor. In October 2016, it was announced that BlackBerry will be working with the to develop software for the car manufacturer's connected vehicles. In February 2017, a $20m class action lawsuit against BlackBerry was announced by the former employees of the company. In March 2017, BB Merah Putih announced the BlackBerry Aurora, an Indonesian-made and sold device, running an operating system based on out of the box.
In March 2018, it was announced that BlackBerry will be working with to develop software for the car manufacturer's vehicles. In June 2018, BlackBerry in partnership with TCL Mobile and Optiemus Infracom launched the KEY2 at a global launch in New York.
This is the third device to sport a keyboard while running Google's Android OS. Intellectual property litigation(s) NTP Inc case In 2000 sent notice of its wireless email patents to a number of companies and offered to license the patents to them. NTP brought a patent-infringement lawsuit against one of the companies, Research In Motion, in the. This court is well known for its strict adherence to timetables and deadlines, sometimes referred to as the ', and is particularly efficient at trying patent cases. The jury eventually found that the NTP patents were valid; furthermore, the jury established that RIM had infringed the patents in a 'willful' manner, and the infringement had cost NTP US$33 million in damages (the greater of a reasonable royalty or lost profits). The judge, increased the damages to US$53 million as a punitive measure due to the willful nature of the infringement. He also instructed RIM to pay NTP's legal fees of US$4.5 million and issued an injunction ordering RIM to cease and desist infringing the patents—this decision would have resulted in the closure of BlackBerry's systems in the US.
RIM appealed all of the findings of the court. The injunction and other remedies were stayed pending the outcome of the appeals. In March 2005 during appeal, RIM and NTP tried to negotiate a settlement of their dispute; the settlement was to be for $450 million. Negotiations broke down due to other issues. On June 10, 2005, the matter returned to the courts.
In early November 2005 the filed a requesting that RIM's service be allowed to continue because of the large number of BlackBerry users in the US Federal Government. In January 2006 the refused to hear RIM's appeal of the holding of liability for patent infringement, and the matter was returned to a lower court. The prior granted preventing all RIM sales in the US and use of the BlackBerry device might have been enforced by the presiding district court judge had the two parties been unable to reach a settlement. On February 9, 2006, the (DOD) filed a brief stating that an injunction shutting down the BlackBerry service while excluding government users was unworkable. The DOD also stated that the BlackBerry was crucial for national security given the large number of government users. On February 9, 2006, RIM announced that it had developed software workarounds that would not infringe the NTP patents, and would implement those if the injunction was enforced.
On March 3, 2006, after a stern warning from Judge Spencer, RIM and NTP announced that they had settled their dispute. Under the terms of the settlement, RIM has agreed to pay NTP $612.5 million (USD) in a 'full and final settlement of all claims.' In a statement, RIM said that 'all terms of the agreement have been finalized and the litigation against RIM has been dismissed by a court order this afternoon. The agreement eliminates the need for any further court proceedings or decisions relating to damages or injunctive relief.' The settlement amount is believed low by some analysts, because of the absence of any future royalties on the technology in question. On May 26, 2017, BlackBerry announced that it had reached an agreement with Qualcomm Incorporated resolving all amounts payable in connection with the interim arbitration decision announced on April 12, 2017.
Following a joint stipulation by the parties, the arbitration panel has issued a final award providing for the payment by Qualcomm to BlackBerry of a total amount of U.S.$940,000,000 including interest and attorneys' fees, net of certain royalties due from BlackBerry for calendar 2016 and the first quarter of calendar 2017.

The store offers BlackBerry device models from, and, the major U.S. Carriers which offer. There were three prior attempts at opening BlackBerry stores in and (UK), but they eventually folded. There are also BlackBerry Stores operated by Wireless Giant at airports in, and, but several have been slated for closing.
On September 23, 2015, Blackberry opened its first in Frankfurt, Germany. 2005, 2007, 2009, 2011 & 2012 outages At various stages of the company's history it suffered occasional service outages that have been referred to in the media as 'embarrassing'. In 2005 the company suffered a relatively short-term outage reportedly among a small handful of North America carriers. The service was resorted after several hours. In 2007 the e-mail service suffered an outage which led for calls by some questioning the integrity towards BlackBerry's perceived centralized system. In 2009 the company had an outage reportedly covering the whole of North America. At 2011-10-10 10:00 UTC began a multi-day outage in, affecting millions of BlackBerry users.
There was another outage the following day. By October 12, 2011, the Blackberry Internet Service went down in North America. Research In Motion attributed data overload due to switch failures in their two data centres in in Canada and in England as the cause of the service disruptions. The outage intensified calls by shareholders for a shake-up in the company's leadership. Some estimates by BlackBerry are that the company lost between $50 million to $54 million due to global email service failure and outage in 2011. Certification.

The feature is a digital personal assistant to help keep you 'organized, informed and productive.' In December 2014, BlackBerry and, a healthcare-focused data provider, launched a secure cancer browser, giving doctors the ability to access patients' genetic data on the BlackBerry Passport smartphone. Phones with BlackBerry email client Several non-BlackBerry mobile phones have been released featuring the BlackBerry email client which connects to BlackBerry servers. Many of these phones have full QWERTY keyboards. MPx220, some models.
phones, except models,. t719. SK65. Third-party software Third-party software available for use on BlackBerry devices includes full-featured, which can be used to support clients and other applications that must manage large volumes of potentially complex data. In March 2011, RIM announced an optional player that could play applications developed for the Android system would be available for the, RIM's first entry in the tablet market.
On August 24, 2011 reported unofficial rumors that BlackBerry devices would be able to run Android applications when RIM brings QNX and the Android App Player to BlackBerry. On October 20, 2011 RIM officially announced that Android applications could run, unmodified, on the BlackBerry tablet and the newest BlackBerry phones, using the newest version of its operating system. Connectivity. BlackBerry held in hand featuring all the different selective hardware and software on the screen. BlackBerry smartphones can be integrated into an organization's email system through a software package called (BES) through version 5, and BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) as of version 10. (There were no versions 6 through 9.).
Versions of BES are available for, and. While individual users may be able to use a wireless provider's email services without having to install BES themselves, organizations with multiple users usually run BES on their own network. BlackBerry devices running BlackBerry OS 10 or later can also be managed directly by a Microsoft Exchange Server, using Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) policies, in the same way that an iOS or Android device can.
(EAS supports fewer management controls than BES does.) Some third-party companies provide hosted BES solutions. Every BlackBerry has a unique ID called a BlackBerry PIN, which is used to identify the device to the BES. BlackBerry at one time provided a free BES software called BES Express (BESX). The primary BES feature is to relay email from a corporate mailbox to a BlackBerry phone. The BES monitors the user's mailbox, relaying new messages to the phone via BlackBerry's (NOC) and user's wireless provider. This feature is known as, because all new emails, contacts, task entries, memopad entries, and calendar entries are pushed out to the BlackBerry device immediately (as opposed to the user synchronising the data manually or having the device poll the server at intervals). BlackBerry also supports polling email, through third-party applications.
The messaging system built into the BlackBerry only understands how to receive messages from a BES or the BIS, these services handle the connections to the user's mail providers. Device storage also enables the mobile user to access all data off-line in areas without wireless service.
When the user reconnects to wireless service, the BES sends the latest data. A feature of the newer models of the BlackBerry is their ability to quickly track the user's current location through without the use of GPS, thus saving battery life and time. Trilateration can be used as a quick, less battery intensive way to provide location-aware applications with the co-ordinates of the user. However, the accuracy of BlackBerry trilateration is less than that of GPS due to a number of factors, including cell tower blockage by large buildings, mountains, or distance. BES also provides phones with connectivity accessed through a component called MDS (Mobile Data System) Connection Service.
This allows custom application development using data streams on BlackBerry devices based on the platform. In addition, BES provides network security, in the form of or, more recently, encryption of all data (both email and MDS traffic) that travels between the BlackBerry phone and a BlackBerry Enterprise Server. Most providers offer flat monthly pricing via special Blackberry tariffs for unlimited data between BlackBerry units and BES.
In addition to receiving email, organizations can make or custom internal applications with unmetered. With more recent versions of the BlackBerry platform, the MDS is no longer a requirement for wireless data access. Starting with OS 3.8 or 4.0, BlackBerry phones can access the Internet (i.e. Access) without an MDS – formerly only email and access was possible without a BES/MDS. The BES/MDS is still required for secure email, data access, and applications that require WAP from carriers that do not allow WAP access. The primary alternative to using BlackBerry Enterprise Server is to use the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS). BlackBerry Internet Service is available in 91 countries internationally.
BlackBerry Internet Service was developed primarily for the average consumer rather than for the business consumer. The service allows users to access, and (not via ) email accounts without connecting through a (BES). BlackBerry Internet Service allows up to 10 email accounts to be accessed, including proprietary as well as public email accounts (such as Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo and AOL). BlackBerry Internet Service also supports the push capabilities of various other BlackBerry Applications.
Various applications developed by RIM for BlackBerry utilise the push capabilities of BIS, such as the Instant Messaging clients (like Google Talk, Windows Live Messenger and Yahoo Messenger). The MMS, PIN, interactive gaming, mapping and trading applications require data plans like BIS (not just Wi-Fi) for use. The service is usually provisioned through a mobile phone service provider, though actually runs the service. BlackBerry PIN. See also: The BlackBerry PIN ( Personal Identification Number) is an eight-character identification number assigned to each BlackBerry device. PINs cannot be changed manually on the device (though BlackBerry technicians are able to reset or update a PIN server-side), and are locked to each specific BlackBerry. BlackBerry devices can message each other using the PIN directly or by using the application.
BlackBerry PINs are tracked by and the and are used to direct messages to a BlackBerry device. Emails and any other messages, such as those from the BlackBerry Push Service, are typically directed to a BlackBerry device's PIN. The message can then be routed by a RIM, and sent to a carrier, which will deliver the message the last mile to the device. In September 2012 RIM announced that the BlackBerry PIN would be replaced by users' BlackBerry ID starting in 2013 with the launch of the BlackBerry 10 platform. Competition and financial results The primary competitors of the BlackBerry are smartphones and the.
BlackBerry has struggled to compete against both and its market share has plunged since 2011, leading to speculation that it will be unable to survive as an independent. However, it has managed to maintain significant positions in some markets.
Despite market share loss, on a global basis, the number of active BlackBerry subscribers has increased substantially through the years. For example, for the fiscal period during which the Apple iPhone was first released, RIM reported that they had a subscriber base of 10.5 million BlackBerry subscribers.
At the end of 2008, when Android first hit the market, RIM reported that the number of BlackBerry subscribers had increased to 21 million. Finally, in the quarter ended June 28, 2012, RIM announced that the number of BlackBerry subscribers had reached 78 million globally.
After the release of the Apple iPhone 5 in September 2012 RIM CEO Thorsten Heins announced that the current global subscribers is up to 80 million, which sparked a 7% jump in shares. However, since then, BlackBerry's global user base (meaning active accounts) has declined dramatically since its peak of 80 million in June 2012, dropping to 46 million users in September 2014. Its market share globally has also declined to less than 1 percent. In 2011, BlackBerry shipped 43% of all smartphones to Indonesia.
By April 2014 this had fallen to 3%. The decline in the Indonesian market share mirrors a global trend for the company (0.6% of North America). The retail price of 2,199,000 Indonesian Rupiah ($189) failed to give BlackBerry the boost it needed in Indonesia.
The company launched the device with a discounted offer to the first 1000 purchasers, which resulted in a stampede in the capital in which several people were injured. BlackBerry lost market share in Indonesia despite the launch of the Z3 on May 13, 2014. The new device was given a worldwide launch in the city of Jakarta and came on the back of the news that Research in Motion (RIM) was to cut hardware production costs by outsourcing this to Taiwan-based Foxconn Group. During the report of its third quarter 2015 results on December 18, 2015, the company said that approximately 700,000 handsets had been sold, down from 1.9 million in the same quarter in 2014, and down from 800,000 in Q2 of 2015. The average sale price per unit was up from $240 to $315, however.
This should continue to increase with sales of the new Android Priv device which was selling at a premium price ($800 in Canada, for example). In Q3 of 2015, BlackBerry had a net loss of $89 million U.S. Or 17 cents per share, but only a $15 million net loss, or three cents per share, when excluding restructuring charges and other one-time items.
Revenue was up slightly from a year earlier, at $557 million U.S. $548 million, primarily because of software sales.
Chief executive officer John Chen said that he expects the company's software business to grow at (14 percent) or above the market. At the time, the company was not ready to provide sales figures for the Android-based Priv handset which had been released only weeks earlier, and in only four countries at that time, but Chen offered this comment to analysts: 'Depending on how Priv does. There is a chance we could achieve or get closer to break-even operating profitability for our overall device business in the (fourth) quarter'. Due to a continuous reduction in BlackBerry users, in February 2016 the Blackberry Headquarter in Waterloo, slashed 35 percent of its workforce. By early 2016, Blackberry market share dropped to 0.2%. In Q4 2016, reports indicate Blackberry sold only 207,900 units—equivalent to a 0.0% market share.

The (formerly) advanced encryption capabilities of the BlackBerry Smartphone made it eligible for use by government agencies and state forces. Barack Obama Former United States president, became known for his dependence on a BlackBerry device for communication during his 2008 Presidential campaign. Despite the security issues, he insisted on using it even after inauguration. This was seen by some as akin to a 'celebrity endorsement', which marketing experts have estimated to be worth between $25 million and $50 million. His usage of BlackBerry continued until around the end of his presidency.
Hillary Clinton The is associated with continuing to use her BlackBerry after assuming the office of Secretary of State. Use by government forces An example is the, which has allowed the increase in the presence of police officers along the streets and a reduction in public spending, given that each officer could perform desk work directly via the mobile device, as well as in several other areas and situations. The US Federal Government has been slow to move away from the Blackberry platform, a spokesperson saying in 2013 that Blackberry devices were still the only mobile devices approved for by the State Department. The that made BlackBerry smartphones and the tablet unique, have since been implemented in other devices, including most Apple devices released after the iPhone 4.
The Bangalore City Police is one of the few police departments in along with the Pune Police and Kochi Police to use BlackBerry devices. Use by transportation staff In the, and have issued BlackBerry devices to guards in order to improve the communication between control, guards and passengers. In, and many other municipalities within Canada have issued BlackBerry devices to most of its employees including but not limited to transportation, technical, water and operations inspection staff and all management staff in order to improve the communication between contracted construction companies, its winter maintenance operations and to assist and successfully organize multimillion-dollar contracts. The devices are the standard mobile device to receive e-mail redirected from GroupWise. The City's e-mail environment is currently set up to support 'ONLY' BlackBerry devices. As part of their endeavours, the company announced plans of moving into the shipping industry by adapting the smartphones devices to the communication necessities of freight containers.

Context Tools Resampling Prior to version 7.0, this menu item was named Cross-Validation. However, the associated tools now belong to a broader class of methods usually called Resampling. Let's assume the current Bayesian network has an associated data set made of observations. Resampling consists in generating data sets that are utilized for learning networks. BayesiaLab offers now three different ways to create the data sets:.: is divided into folds of observations. Data sets are created by iteratively excluding one fold.

Bootstrap: each data set is created by sampling observations with replacement from the original data set.: each data set is created by perturbing the observations of by multiplying their current weight by a random perturbation. It is a smooth bootstrap, where weights can take any continuous values from 0 to 2. Resampling can be used for two types of analysis:. Measuring the variability of estimations with Jackknife, Bootstrap or Data Perturbation;. Estimating the quality of a learning configuration, i.e.
Learning algorithm and settings, with K-Fold. Once generated, all the Continuous Variables that have not been discretized manually are re-discretized! The discretization is thus another source of instability. If you want to exclude this source of instability and only measure the variability associated with the learning method, you can make a right click on the data set icon in the lower right corner of the Graph Panel and select.
History has been updated in versions, and. Moved Feature The is a tool that is not based on data sampling by rather on multiple runs on the same data set. It has thus been moved to the new Multi-Run menu. New Feature The Multi-Target Evaluation has been added in the set of tools that can be used for analyzing the learned networks. As of version 7.0, there are thus four available kinds of resampling analysis:.,.,.,. Let's use the same data set for illustrating these four analyses. This, which includes Seattle.
It describes homes sold between May 2014 and May 2015. More precisely, we have extracted the 94 houses that are more than 100 years old, that have been renovated, and come with a basement. All the continuous variables have been discretized into three bins, with R 2-GenOpt.
Given the small number of observations in this data set, we set five prior samples for the in order to utilize a non-informative prior in the. Based on the, we set the Structural Coefficient to 0.567, and used EQ to learn the network below.
