The University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada is a great campus to stroll in. Pretty and pleasantly wintery, what struck me though was the spate of BlackBerrys around. Everybody, from the university managing director to the students are twiddling on these phones and in my relatively-brief 6-hour time on campus, i didn't see anybody use a non-BlackBerry handset. Turns out that Mike Lazaridis, founder and CEO of Research in Motion , that makes these virulently-popular devices, pretty much tested, tweaked and tossed out the first Berrys from the.
