Blackberry To Sack About 4,500 Employees, Looses Almost $1 Billion by realugee: 1:22am On Sep 21, 2013
They've not even launched BBM on other devices, they are already loosing money. I pity for them anyway. This may just be the begining of their downfall.

The gist is that in Blackberry's most recent financial statement (that I saw today) for the second quarter of this year, they announced that they are expecting a loss of about $955 Million cry Not only that they have plans to sack... or let me put it in a better way reduce their work force by about 4,500 employees (almost 50%) if they've not done that already. More detailed gist on my blog later today...

They know they might fade off soon, dats why they introduced bbm on android and ios, to leave a mark in the market.


Its been a long time coming and dis is just the beginning.
