The Rise and Fall of RIM [CHART]

It's no secret that RIM, maker of BlackBerry mobile products, has been in trouble of late. This morning, The Sunday Times reported that the company may consider splitting its handset manufacturing operations from its messaging network.

Those details are scant, but there's no denying RIM's struggles. Once a market leader, BlackBerry has since fallen out of fashion. Despite a steady increase in units shipped over the last four years, the company's market share has plummeted. Data compiled by Statista tells the story.

Do you think splitting RIM into two companies would be a smart move?
