Way back in 2009/2012, a Blackberry device was on everybody's wishlist. Those Blackberry people use our eyes see pepper that year. Any small thing, "ping me!" "What's your BB pin?" People just assumed that you a BB device. Even the notification sound from BBM alone made some people feel like they have made it, Lol. Then from 2012/2013, the brand began to die. I think people moved to Android devices and iPhones. It was even after the whole Blackberry trend ended I got to use one.

There were other popular phone brands, too, that just suddenly went under the radar. What happened to these brands: HTC, Blackberry, LG, Sony, Motorola, Sony Ericsson, Alcatel? I think Nokia is recently trying to pick up. Those guys made cool devices back then.

Modified: I know some of these brands still make phones, but I'm talking about market share and dominance.

They couldn't keep up with the trend.

Buried

They didn't follow the trend. Nokia instead of moving to android went to windows

Those phones are actually far beyond your regular infinix and Tecno. The costs are high and the functions are worth it. You should see a picture taken with a Sony Ericson phone
Sony Xperia 5 II
Then you'll know what a camera is

Blackberry didnt die because of that. These are the main reasons Why they died;
1.Ignoring Touchscreen
A key reason to BlackBerry’s failure is their ignorance in choosing to stick with the Querty keyboard whilst leaders like Apple provided a full touchscreen interface to which consumers preferred. Although previously BlackBerry’s had been popular due to their ease of use with instant messaging and firing off quick emails through the keyboard and scrolling ball.

2.Underestimating the competition
Perhaps BlackBerrys greatest issue was its lack of respect for competition. While all the tumult and evolution was happening on the Android and Apple front, BlackBerry was more concerned with protecting what it already had instead of conquering new lands. It

Blackberry didnt die because of that,they die because they stick to qwerty keys

Have you looked at the mobile phone market share? It's not about making phones. You said Motorola did one of the best phone of 2020, how many people bought the device, even in Europe? What happened to their sales and market. That's the question. It's not by making one good device.

The truth is those companies still make good phone, but their market is dying or already dead. Go and look at most of HTC latest device, almost all the new device comes with weak Helio A20, P23 chipset, maybe this is one of the reasons, too.
