This is behind the paywall but very worth a read.<p>To quote some of the excerpts<p>&quot;RIM&#x27;s chiefs didn&#x27;t give much additional thought to Apple&#x27;s iPhone for months.&quot;<p>&quot;It wasn&#x27;t a threat to RIM&#x27;s core business,&quot; says Mr. Lazaridis&#x27;s top lieutenant, Larry Conlee.<p>&quot;It wasn&#x27;t secure. It had rapid battery drain and a lousy [digital] keyboard.&quot;
