I get that Blackberry has been an industry joke for 6-7 years now, but the opening statement overstates their missteps. Blackberry missed many boats, but not the whole category of smartphones. Touchscreens, app stores, decent browsers...yes. But not smartphones.
Exactly. If anything, they invented the smartphone. But nobody knew about it until Apple made the iphone and decided that they had invented the smartphone.

I've never seen Apple claim to have invented the smartphone. You have a citation?
