The first Kindle was designed to mimic the look of Amazon's CEO Jeff Besos BlackBerry! According to the New York Times Bits Blog,

“Jeff Bezos would come into our design meetings and say he loved his BlackBerry and the ease with which he could find e-mails and respond to people,” the former Amazon designer explained. “That’s why the first Kindle was so boxy, had the funky square keyboard and that strange scroll wheel on the side; it was all inspired by Jeff’s BlackBerry.”
