It's not the most exciting hardware launch to come from the newly reinvigorated (and rebranded) BlackBerry, but the Q5 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/05/14/blackberry-q5-announced-bb10-qwerty/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget) is a device with a mission. Announced formally this morning by CEO Thorsten Heins on stage at BlackBerry Live, the Q5 is in some ways a more approachable successor to the Q10 (http://www.engadget.com/2013/04/23/blackberry-q10-review/?utm_source=Feed_Classic&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Engadget). Combining a 3.1-inch, 720 x 720 touchscreen display with BlackBerry's well-loved physical QWERTY, the Q5 is being squarely positioned at users in the developing world. And its less-than-premium build quality is a testament to that affordability. We spent some brief time getting to know this newest BB10 device, so skip past the break for our initial thoughts.
