BLACKBERRY HAS sold around one million of the Z10 smartphones it hopes will help restore the firm to the top table in mobile technology.
Its performance is widely seen as being key to the company’s fortunes after a difficult couple of years when the firm lost ground and customers to rivals including Apple and Samsung.
Yesterday, the mobile giant announced a return to profitability in the most recent quarter and posted earnings of 98 million US dollars (£65m) after recording a substantial loss in the same period last year.
Its president and chief executive Thorsten Heins said customers “love” the device, which was launched in January with the motto “redesigned, re-engineered, re-invented”.
