Disambiguate BlackBerry Smartphones from BlackBerry Ltd

[edit]

Hello, I manage BlackBerry's SEO programs and we are hoping to change the title of the BlackBerry page to BlackBerry Smartphones. We also want to change the title of BlackBerry Limited page to BlackBerry. The goal is to help the world understand that BlackBerry is the name of a company, not just the name of legacy product. We have tried to do this ourselves but it doesn't take. Any advice from you all? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kbryson-blackberry (talkcontribs) 19:29, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

About encryption history

[edit]

I just found this history of why encryption has been added to BlackBerry devices:

Little known history: BlackBerry 'became encrypted' because back in the days when it was really just a 'pager with email' - North American carriers (channel partners) were actually reading BB executives emails during negotiations (!!!). BB discovered this and decided to start with the encryption. Seriously - the first 'illegal' act was by BB customers/channel partners!

Needs a more trustable source and a confirmation. -- Olivier Mengué |  13:44, 29 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a longer page name to distinguish a brand/product from 'Blackberry' fruit

[edit]

This may be the most extreme example of the confusion that can be caused by case-sensitivity in page URLs.

These currently valid URLs are too confusingly similar:

The presence of the extra loop on the top of the capital 'B' at mid-word is easy to overlook. -72.71.132.119 (talk) 21:22, 29 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

BlackBerryBlackBerry (devices) – At this point, there is no WP:PTOPIC for "BlackBerry" between the line of smartphones known as BlackBerry, and the company BlackBerry Limited which was formerly known as Research in Motion. Prior to 2013, usage was clear: "BlackBerry" referred to the line of smartphones, while "RIM" referred to the company behind them. RIM's 2013 decision to rebrand as "BlackBerry" has created confusion: now "BlackBerry" can equally refer to the line of smartphones or the company. The existing title should redirect to Blackberry (disambiguation). feminist (talk) 13:19, 27 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
