How RIM has benefited from BB services and BB Messenger over the years

Ever since Research in Motion introduced BlackBerry Services and BB Messenger it has attracted a lot of people worldwide. It has created a unique demand for its services not only among business personals but among ordinary people as well. RIM is being criticized that all the BlackBerry cell phones and smartphones have more or less same shape and functions. There are minor changes in the cell phone models with a new version of OS only but still it has a huge customer base. Following are some key benefits that RIM has reaped from BB Services and Messenger:

Created a blue ocean in the market

The very first benefit to RIM is that it has created a blue ocean in the market. We all know what creating blue ocean means in the business. It means to open doors for a completely new market where one has no competitors. A lot of businesses and organizations try to create a blue ocean in the market but as soon as they create one it is being disturbed by the competitor. But RIM stands unique in this regard. The blue ocean in the market created by RIM still exists and there is no other competitor providing services like BB including BB Messenger.

Created its brand recognition

Helped RIM retain its customers

People who start using BB Services get immune to it and cannot think of buying any other cell phone. iPhone when came into the market became really successful and attracted a lot of people. It still is one of the market leaders in cell phones industry but still there are a lot of people who stick to BlackBerry just because of the services it provides.

Created more space for R&D

Research and Development is the most important thing for any cell phones manufacturer in the world.

When I talk on Yahoo Messenger the box where the conversation goes is blue. How do I change the color so I can see what the other person is saying to me?

There is an option for that...

Messenger menu, preferences, appearance "always use my fonts and colors"
