Hello all,
I bought Q5 on 8th April 2014 and have to return it back to Amazon on 18th April 2014, coz they don't have replacement policy, they can only refund it.
So I have no option other than to get refund and it is better for me also.
Ok now let go to the mobile review.
No need of BIS plans to run BBM and mails etc… normal 2G plan will do all for you as other mobile do. +1
Touch screen is good like other phones. +1
Good typing experiences, good keyboard. +1
Was able to watch almost all type of video files. +1
Good speaker for hands free call and music +1
No back key, now it is replaced with new touch feature. I really miss the back key, coz it helps a lot with every action you do on phone (old blackberry users will miss a lot) -1
Phone buttons are missing, call key and call drop key which helps BB users to action it fast, touch option is there but is good to have a key. -1
Can’t edit anything properly coz of the missing tracker key, due to which I missed the old way or reading mails, web browser, chats etc… like we use to do, scrolling up-down, left-right. -2
WhatsApp is not integrated with BB and I again miss my old BB phone. WhatsApp message by using phone contacts is not there, forwarding WhatsApp message to other WhatsApp user or group is missing, using WhatsApp in this phone is really a big pain. -2
Old BB users will miss the email feathers like reading the next email, replying to mail etc… we have to go back to read the next email in Q5. -2
Last and final the Camera, which 5Mp and it won’t work and give an error “The camera can't be started” just after two days of purchasing. Done everything with the phone to make the camera work, like reset, format phone, format SD card, drained battery to get it switched off and whatever solution I can find it on the net, but the result was same with an error “The camera can't be started”. Last option was to take it service centre to know what can be done. Reply was surprising, they would keep it with them to check if it is a software or hardware and if it’s a hardware issue then need to replace it, but this can only be happen from the store where I have bought/buy it i.e. Amazon.in. -5 (Service centre)
So finely I don’t like the Q5 phone, rest is up to you people.
Thanks you.

kilo, 25 Nov 2013How do I change my watsup profile picture on blackberry Q5,... moreTo change your picture, you go on to the one you want, got to set as and choose whatsapp pic.
To get songs I know a site called tubidy.com, search the song you want then go to save mp3 something like that, it's free and really easy to use. Only down side is that just released songs take a little while to get on to there.
Let me know if I could help
