Blackberry Q5

They have to have one bb10 device under 15k. Like 8520 and 9300 had previously.Let people have experience of bb10 os and decide them for higher models. No one would buy current z10 and q10 at stupid price by blackberry india.

Like I said somewhere, they are hardly reducing the prices of their BB7 models, so I dont expect them to price it any lower. At this point even pricing 20k for R10 would seem a big thing for me. And yes, at 15-17k, I think I might have been interested in this R10.

Guess this is the "R10" that we have been talking about?

 

[Nishant]

Yeah! Looks like! If that's the case, this thread needs merging.

 

[mhsabir]

Done. I guess the price rumours are still $400-$500?

I really don't think so. This would be more like a replacement for their Curve series. Should be between 15 - 20k initially I think. If they price it $400 or more, for a handset aimed at emerging markets, it would be a fail for sure.

Well Z10/Q10 was thought to be coming at 30+ (30-35 max). Came at 40+ . Just going by that trend, wont be surprised at a 25+ kind of price

You've got a point there!
