The report showed Blackberry turned in a particularly limp performance in Latin America, a region it recently touted as a enthusiastic supporter of its devices.
The company, which warned on Sept 20 that the poor results were coming, said its net loss for the second quarter, ended on Aug 31, was US$965mil, (RM2.9bil) or US$1.84 a share (RM5.52).
