RIM just lost its number one spot in smartphone shipments in its native Canada to Apple, reports Bloomberg.
RIM shipped 2.08 million BlackBerrys in Canada last year versus Apple's 2.85
million iPhones.
Paul Taylor, a fund manager at Toronto-based BMO Harris Private Banking, told Bloomberg, "For RIM, in its home market, to lose that No. 1 position to iPhone is strategically important. It does identify, even with a home-country bias, how consumers are responding to the greater functionality of the iPhone."
