OTTAWA: Queen Elizabeth II received a Blackberry handset as a gift on Monday while touring the Canadian headquarters of its maker, Research in Motion.The monarch is said to be a fan of the popular smartphones, ever since her son, Prince Andrew, introduced her to them a few years ago.
Company co-founder Mike Lazaridis presented queen with the most current model, the Blackberry Bold 9700, personalized with an image of area school children offering her flowers.
Dressed in a creme-colored hat and a white smock, Elizabeth was also given a rare glimpse inside the Waterloo, Ontario factory where the devices are made.
The site was described in pool reports as a cavernous, white room dotted with spotless workstations and large automated machines.
