In the uk the distribution model was wrong - given it didn't have a native email client then it would really only have appeal to the existing BB users. So did RIM get the carrier's corporate channel and B2B dealers to sell it to their existing base (figures of 50-75% BB penetration in those channels). No they ran it as an exclusive in the high street (shopping mall) retail stores where it unsurprisingly died on it's ass
