Can't agreed more with kunal. I've always been a hardware qwerty supporter. Just retired my Nokia 302 to Q5. It's pity that not many maker release phone with qwerty keyboard.

My first comment ever, probably because i felt the review was a bit too harsh on the phone. I had a S3, switched over to the One X. But a Blackberry has always been a faithful companion.
Q5, may not be all that great on the music or camera front, but it more than meets your needs for the same.
I bought a q5 as a birthday gift for my mother. its been a week and i have already started saving to buy one for myself.
Its a breeze BBM is way better than its copies - whatsapp and wechat etc.
i love the new gesture controls - its a one hand / thumb operation all the way.
and lets face it - one screen keyboard v/s hardware qwerty keyboard - any one up for a typing speed test??? bring it on.
The reason why Blackberry will always be my first choice :
1. Blackberry Protect
2. Blackberry travel
3. Password keeper
4. smooth changeover from one BB to another without the need to infrom all my BBM contacts of the new BB pin
4. Last but not the least - BBM
Simply put - i trust my data with Blackberry knowing it wont snoop around to push ad's at me. Cant do that with iphone or android.

Dear Reviewer,
I dont think it'll be wise to call a qwerty keyboard a relic of the past.
For the first time it feels as if you were biased against Blackberyy and wrote the review with an intention to kill it.
I have been a gsmarena follower for almost 6-7 years.... hence the surprise

I was really interested in buying this phone even after its stupid pricing. But after reading the review and sad camera quality it has to offer, I will shy away. Wish the company get some sense and produces genuine smartphone so that the loyal users aren't fooled in such devices. Give a decent camera and get the pricing right please

The problem with the device is the price
And I don't know why bb has provided the black q5 only to every review site
I've seen it in white and it looks much better, in fact rather pretty

Blackberry is a company which should simply kneel down, give and GTFO... They know their problems, their limitations and the usp of rivals, yet they cant come with a single good phone...
