Originally it was called LeapFrog to insinuate it leaping over the competition. I know some people that call it CrackBerry because it is so addicting� haha.
I heard that too even to the point were Webster Dictionary named "crackberry" the new word of the year in 06. Way back in the brainstrom stages, I heard they were going to call it PocketLink� glad they didn�t because that seems like a boring technology name.

Answer to the name BlackberryRIM settled on the name with Lexicon Branding Inc., one of the branding firms out of California. Lexicon was responsible for naming Apple's Powerbook as an example. One of the executives thought the buttons on the device looked like tiny seeds in a strawberry. A linguist at the firm thought "strawberry" wasn't quite the right fit.
