Research In Motion's Q2 Report: Live Blog Recap
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -Research in Motion (RIMM), which showed off a beta version of its next-generation BlackBerry smartphone earlier this week, reported its second-quarter results after market close.
The Waterloo, Ontario-based firm reported revenue of $2.9 billion, down from $4.2 billion in the prior year's quarter, but above analysts' estimate of $2.5 billion.
RIM posted an adjusted loss of 27 cents a share, down from earnings of 80 cents a share in the same period last year, but better than Wall Street's projected loss of 46 cents a share.
RIM's BlackBerry subscriber base also increased to approximately 80 million.
