You know you’ve made it when you’re featured on your country’s stamp.

Though it’s suffering through some tough times, the BlackBerry is often credited as the smartphone that started it all, and it’s still incredibly popular among business people and the textually active crowd that can’t get enough of BBM. It’s also got its own stamp now.

Canada Post is honoring Canadian inventions with a ‘Made in Canada’ series that sees the electric oven, the electric wheelchair, the pacemaker, and, of course, the BlackBerry featured on stamps.

“While smart phones and other communications devices, as well as technologies such as push email and mobile apps, are commonplace now, they were nearly the stuff of science fiction in 1999, when Research in Motion founders Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie introduced the now iconic BlackBerry,” Canada Post said in a statement today. “Their invention freed information workers from their desks and changed the way the world communicates.”

Canada Post’s website indicates that there are only 2,250,000 of these booklets (featuring two of each stamp) available, so get them while you can.
