Blackberry claims 1m sales

Mobile phone maker Blackberry says it has sold one million of its new Z10 smartphones.

In better than expected results the company said it made profits of $98m (£65m) in the quarter, after posting a big loss for the same period last year.

The Z10 handset is seen as crucial to the future of Blackberry, which has struggled to keep up with new Apple and Android handsets.

It has been on sale for a month in the UK, Canada and other markets.

It went on sale with little fanfare a week ago in the United States, Blackberry's most important market.

The figures do not include US sales.

In total, Blackberry said it shipped a total of around six million handsets in the three months to early March.
