I can recommend the book "Losing the Signal".

Seconded. I couldn't put it down, rare to see stories of companies that aren't Apple who did hardware and bespoke software as well and as long as Blackberry (fka Research in Motion) did in the 90s and 2000s.

Crazy to see it all starts in 1996.

Less than one year later Jobs would return to Apple with all of NeXT engineering and only 9 years later unveil the iPhone, completely changing and capturing at the same time the market BlackBerry tried to create.
