The company’s revenue reached only U.S. $ $ 1.2 billion in the quarter ended in November. A huge drop of 56% compared to the same period last year.

A major problem is the Canadian manufacturer of the poor performance of his new, the BB10 operating system. The company sold only 4.3 million smartphones in the third quarter, but only 1.1 million of these devices ran the BB10.

Two years ago they managed to ship 14.2 million smartphones in the same quarter and compared with the actual results of other manufacturers such as Samsung and Apple, or even Nokia, which sold 8.8 million handsets Lumia line, we can see that the strategy of the BlackBerry has not worked.
