BlackBerry smart phone maker reported its earnings slumped 47 percent, analysts predict sales fell 1.3 million BlackBerry devices and RIM units only sell 200 thousand units Playbook tablet device.

the analysis would predict RIM shares fell 18 percent. In total, RIM shares reduced by half this year.

Even so, RIM's chief executive Jim Balsillie remains optimistic and do some new breakthrough in BlackBerry sales.

"On the positive side, RIM continues to launch new products with the latest operating system," said Balsillie as stated Atlantic Wire.

"We successfully launched a variant of the BlackBerry smart phone OS 7 based around the world during the late second quarter, and given the high asking customers to new products."
