One of the misconceptions about BlackBerry is that it's your parents' smartphone.

Never lose this innovation spirit.

In a maturing market it's not advisable to be always everybody's darling, because you get too thin.

Future is mobile computing - smartphones and tablets are just elements of it. The industry is on the verge of a whole new paradigm.

When you say we're bringing a product to market, you make sure you execute.

In five years I don't think there'll be a reason to have a tablet anymore.

At the very core of RIM is the innovation. We always think ahead. We always think forward. We sometimes think the unthinkable. And that is fantastic.

A good browser, apps, good camera, and fast networking in your smartphone is just expected today.

You have to respect all your competitors.

History repeats itself again, I guess. The rate of innovation is so high in our industry that if you don't innovate at that speed you can be replaced pretty quickly. The user interface on the iPhone, with all due respect for what this invention was all about, is now five years old.
