The start of the BlackBerry Live 2013 annual conference today in
Orlando, USA, saw the announcement of the BlackBerry Q5 - a QWERTY
device for emerging markets.
The Blackberry Q5 revolves around a 3.1-inch touchscreen and one of BlackBerry's classic physical QWERTY keyboards,
which they are so proud of. The screen has an unusual resolution of 720
x 720px - the same as on the Q10, but this time it's an LCD unit.
Inside the BlackBerry Q5 there's a dual-core 1.2Ghz CPU and 8 gigs worth
of storage. There's a microSD slot to expand that, but the battery is
not removable.
The new BlackBerry
Q5 will be available in selected markets in Europe, the Middle East,
Africa, Asia (including the Asia Pacific region), and Latin America,
with availability
beginning in July. The
smartphone will be offered in black, white, red and pink.
Another announcement that came from the today's keynote is that the
BlackBerry 10.1 update is now ready to seed to the BlackBerry Z10 (later
this month in the US). Not only that, but starting today, Skype will be
available to all users who update their Z10s to v10.1.
