People are starting to believe that smart phones are a necessity because of the various services that they supply. If these services are unavailable even for a day, most smart phone owners wouldn’t know how to function without them. In fact, in October 2011, Blackberries all over the world stopped working for three days, causing near rioting in the streets.

I love America and it is my dream country, which might sound weird after my critics, but America has something special about it, that can’t be described.

However, the absence of any particular strategy with respect to target customers was a big flaw in their operating model.
