class=”centro”/> BlackBerry
is sinking before our eyes. The company is officially for sale, has received a significant offer of Fairfax Holdings, plans to lay off 4,500 employees, Gartner recommended a few days ago its corporate clients to leave BlackBerry and now we have known that in emerging markets key so far for the Canadian company, drop BlackBerry is also unstoppable .
The company itself has admitted that “intense competition” for iOS, Android and extensive application ecosystem “has affected the demand for devices in emerging markets”, in which “traditionally the company has experienced rapid growth” . Clearer water. The only two areas where BlackBerry had some power (emerging markets and the business sector), are now also in the doldrums.
Nothing better than a series of figures for the last fiscal quarter to illustrate the decline of the old RIM :
- United States : revenues $ 414 million, 52% less than the same period last year.

figures join the billion the company lost during the quarter, mainly due to poor sales of the BlackBerry 10 devices. With huge losses in traditionally important markets for the company and the potential loss of corporate clients one wonders what the future of BlackBerry. If there is such a thing for the company.
