In the golden age of smartphones—before iOS and Android became the twin titans they are today—Research In Motion (RIM) ruled the enterprise world. Among its most iconic devices was the BlackBerry Tour 9630 . Released in 2009, this device was a powerhouse for its time: a crisp HVGA display, a legendary QWERTY keyboard, and that addictive trackball.
