    Looks okay for a budget phone... The most important thing for Blackberry Q5 is to make sales to "Emerging Markets"

        I'm just going to assume that BlackBerry don't know the definition of emerging markets... Are they talking about Pakistan, Somalia, Ethyopia, etc??

              I was previously using BB since they launched the successful Bold 9000. Later I switched to iPhone and SS Galaxy III and until they launched Z10 which I feel they are really tried their best to change user experience. I am now using big SS and Z10, yet to decide which one I will keep.

                          Hope the price around/below $200. We can't afford $1000 for a mobile handset.
                          BBRY, remember you are selling mobile handsets. Z10 costs $900 & Q10 costs $1000.
                          Are you insane to sale handset at this price or you think people are insane to buy your handset at this price?

But I don't use BB for all purposes, its a droid device, the things we teen can't understand, a Businessman needs all them. E.g: We don't want the Best Security. But they do.

                                    Sony Ericsson did this long ago with W950 / W960 then HTC introduced same in Status / Chacha

                                    What is new in this one?
