RIM has had a turbulent year and that's putting it mildly. The firm has had rumour after rumour thrown against it, with some proving to be true and others the work of fiction writers.
The latest development in the RIM soap opera was the revelation that its co-CEOs Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie would step down tomake room for COO Thorsten Heins to bring the company on track.
However, RIM has no worries in the UK market as BlackBerry averaged at 27.7 per cent of smartphone sales, according to researcher GfK.
The report says that there are now over 8.5 million BlackBerry users in Britain following 26.3 per cent of sales during December 2011.
This marks the second year running that the phone maker has held the UK's top spot, while the global user base is now at 35 per cent with 75 million subscribers, according to the results.
