If Blackberry or Nokia would have made a big push with Android when it was new, either one of them could be the Samsung of the industry right now. Maybe even bigger. People love the hardware of both, but the software isn't as compelling. In Nokia's case, they made the deal with Microsoft (that eventually led to a buyout) and waned in popularity for a while. In Blackberry's case, they assumed they could iterate on their software and stay competitive because of their brand, of which they overestimated its value. Both companies are trying to bounce back, and Blackberry running Android (full Android with Google services) might be the play to save them.
