Due to the metro-wide flooding in the last couple of days, the official launch and release of the BlackBerry Q5 was moved from last night to August 24. The BB Q5 is the more affordable sibling of the BlackBerry Q10 with almost the same hardware features, including NFC and LTE. The Q5 will be available in stores this Friday with a suggested retail price of Php18,690. BlackBerry is also running a promo where you can swap your old BB for a Php2,000 discount on any of the new BB devices. Updated: Representatives from BlackBerry Philippines clarifies that the model they are releasing thru official distributors in the Philippines will only be 3G/HSPA+ variant and not the LTE variant. They would not comment on what variants the carriers will be releasing (so it's possible Globe will be shipping in their own units with LTE in them, that's outside of BlackBerry PH's coverage). RIM fought back and introduced its first touch screen device -- the Blackberry Strom (9530). It also has mobile streaming, allows tethering to your laptop to share internet and can sync your desktop iTunes music files using BlackBerry Media Sync.
