Phones 4u failed because Britain's biggest mobile-phone operator, EE, owner of the orange and T-mobile brands, decided that they were not going to allow phones 4u to sell their phones. this followed a similar decision by vodaphone, phones 4u had already been dropped by two other operators. O2 and Three.
Blackberry failed because of the iPhones. the Blackberry phones were very popular while iPod was out as you couldn't call from the iPod, but once apple realised the popularity in the iPod they decided to bring out the iPhone, this caused a downfall in the amount of people being blackberrys. people do still buy balckberrys but they are not as popular.
HMV
HMV’s demise is a structural failure; it failed to keep pace with both the shift to digital entertainment content and online retailing. Bad christmas sales left HMV unable to secure bank loans and the 92 year old stores now looks set to close, with the loss of 230 stores and around 4000 jobs. Most people agree that HMV's inability to compete with online stores such as amazon as well as supermarkets like tesco and sainburys had led to its down fall.
