The BlackBerry Q5 brings BlackBerry 10 for the first time to a lower market segment. The unit builds on the former Curve line and like the Q10 offers a full QWERTY keyboard with a touchscreen.

“At the moment the Q5 costs € 350 and that seems to be on the high side, especially since the Z10 takes a titty more.”

Before BlackBerry made the switch to a new operating system, the portfolio of the manufacturer divided into two distinct lines: the Bold line with the most expensive devices and the Curve line with the cheaper models. That first line has recently been replaced by the BlackBerry Q10 and now there is a replacement for the Curve line appeared on the horizon: the BlackBerry Q5. This unit offers many of the features of the Q10, but in a cheaper body and for less money.

“All in all we are quite impressed with the BlackBerry Q5. It’s wait and see what the price of this phone is going to be, but if it is indeed for each BlackBerry gets around the price of the former Curve phones in the store to put the device it can sometimes be a very good deal going. Especially the beautiful screen and fast performance of the phone are still fairly unique in that price range, “so we concluded our preview of the Q5 time. Meanwhile, the phone is available and w e know what the price is. At the time the BlackBerry Q5 costs about € 310 and that seems to be on the high side.
