RIM: Vodafone had first rejected their Blackberry Storm
RIM’s CEO Mike Lazaridis said in a statement that their initial design for Blackberry Storm was rejected by Vodafone for being too basic.
The company was forced to redesign the device to meet the requirements of the mobile service provider.
He said: “I thought that when we put Quadband EDGE and GPS and a powerful CPU and high-performance graphics cards on one tiny board – I figured that that was enough of a breakthrough and Vodafone sent me packing!”
Research in Motion needed a groundbreaking device to take on Apple iPhone which has set new standards in the mobile phone market.
Lazaridis added: “Touchscreens before have confused the act of navigating with the act of confirmation, or selecting. What we did is we is combined a state of the art multi-touch capacitive touchscreen and put in a sub-system underneath that allowed us to add the dimension of pressure.”
