BlackBerry Q5 review

[KelziPagan]

Having delivered the latest BlackBerry 10 OS in a classic messenger form factor, a midrange package combining touchscreen with the iconic hardware keyboard was next on the Canadians' to-do list. The Q10 came at a price not a lot of people can afford, so the Q5 promises to deliver the same experience without sweeping the fluff out of your pocket.

Would it impact whether or not you buy it?

not me in particular, but blackberry is dead in the richer markets, they need to a apply a bottom-up approach, the curve-series is the most popular blackberry because its the cheapest, how can they expect to be succesful if their cheapest device is US$450?

Every time I see one of these threads it just proves that TJ is filled with nothing but fanbois. You have a Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE, tri/quad-band UMTS/HSPA, 100 Mbps LTE curve and dudes be like "look at it! its ugly! why it cost so much! it should be $100".

Dual-core 1.2 GHz Krait, 2GB RAM, Adreno 225. These are the same people that are buying phones that cost 65 gs. Blackberry clearly can't win, especially with Android 4.5 coming next year.

This and the low cost iphone along with current android will be competing for the mid-low end market this september

I was playing with one in the bb store

Its not that bad, no trackpad is hard to get used to tho

But they say the battery life is better than the z10

But bb

NO TUX!

I'd prefer buy back a note or iphone when bbm buss

For now my white 9900 Is fine for me, love it still
