A look at the new Blackberry Q5

Released sometime in June 2013, the blackberry Q5 smart phone comes loaded with a 4G network, blackberry 10 OS which can be upgraded to 10.1, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 3.1in LCD capacitive touch screen with 16M colours, 8 GB internal memory, NFC though it is market dependent, and a 2180mAh battery.

 

Some say the 120 gram, 5MP camera machine is better than the iPhone 4, others say it is the best blackberry phone they have used. 

What do you think about this BB that is lacking the five buttons that identifies blackberry phones (call, menu, optical trackpad, return, end call) whose battery is also non removable?
