Parang curve series lang din yan e. They’re sticking with their classic strategy.

I think dapat din magstick sila sa classic colors. Ampanget ng red. Haha.

Perhaps this one will cost 50% of the Q10?

Q10 -> Q5

So the Q5 has the same specs with Q10 without the classic expensive look and feel.

Woah! Same specs with the q10 minus the overprice!!! Saka mas ok na nasa taas ng keyboard ung blackberry logo to give more space for the upward swipe gesture. Though siguro titipirin nila ung materials dito to come up with a cheaper price. Hayz… sayang gusto ko na kasi yung q10 eh

Specs. not quite the same. No mention of ‘cores’, but most likely would be dual core, has 8 gb instead of 16GB on Q10, has 5mp camaera while Q10 has 8Mp,also Q10 uses amoled screen. The 2100Mah battery has excellent rating on the Q10, so I would not be surprised if Blackberry decides to put a ‘non removable battery on this. This is a mid-range phone designed to replace the BB Curve series, so I can not compare the quality to the Q10, which is a high end phone. Overall, the phone looks good and all the functions/features of Q10 and Z10 will be included.
