Rod McQueen Blackberry Book Panned

Montreal Gazette Review by Roberto Rocha:

"BlackBerry could be easily mistaken for a long brochure for RIM investors, or a ghostwritten autobiography of the company’s iconic co-chiefs, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie. Despite the book’s impressive research and detailed accounts of key events in the BlackBerry ascent, McQueen sounds like the best man delivering a wedding speech, not someone providing a critical look at the little device that is revolutionizing business and human relations."......

"Yet the way he describes everything, it seems RIM and its bosses could do no wrong. Every decision they made is brilliant, their characters are beyond messianic. Bad moves are glossed over, given just a nominal mention."

"For a more critical look at the device, BlackBerry Planet by Alastair Sweeny is a far better work."
