BlackBerry might be under pressure due to the rise of Android smartphones and Apple iPhone devices, but the company is seeing adoption of its devices by people concerned about security. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has joined a list of growing world leaders who are using BlackBerry devices. US President Barack Obama is well known for using a bespoke BlackBerry smartphone.
Merkel's administration ordered 5 000 BlackBerry Z10s in late 2013 after revelations that her phone was hacked.
The revelations by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden caused tension in Berlin as well as in Brasilia, with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff going so far as to propose an alternate internet that bypasses US servers.
Security has also been highlighted with the launch and recent shipping of the SGP Technologies SA Blackphone.
