BlackBerry sales have reportedly dropped to nearly zero in countries like the United States, China, Spain and Japan, with UK remaining its best-selling area.

According to a new data from Kantar Worldpanel ComTech, the company's share of sales in the US fell to just 0.8%, and to less than a tenth of a percent in China, Spain and Japan.

The collapse in BlackBerry sales points to the problems that have arisen since the company's tried to first sell itself to a private equity group, and then tried and raise 1 billion dollars at the same time as it fired its chief executive Thorsten Heins, the Guardian reports.

Its largest sales share was recorded in the UK at 3.3%, but this figure does not indicate how many people are already using BlackBerry handsets, the report added.
