epa02782508 (FILE) A file photo dated 30 September 2008 showing a giant Blackberry Bold smart phone displayed at Japanese mobile phone operator NTT Docomo's booth at CEATEC Japan 2008 exhibition in Makuhari, near Tokyo, Japan, 30 September 2008. Research in Motion, the Canadian smartphone pioneer and maker of the BlackBerry, announced a series of layoffs 17 June 2011 as the increased popularity of rival products from Apple and Google caused it to miss its profit and revenue targets. The company said that it earned a first quarter profit of 695 million dollars compared to 769 billion dollars a year earlier and 934 million dollars in the last quarter. Sales tumbled to 4.9 billion dollars, some 300 million dollars short of the company's guidance of 5.2 billion dollars and 12 per cent less than the 5.6 billion in sales in the previous quarter.
