New Delhi: While BlackBerry has already brought out its two new smartphones running the new BlackBery 10 OS this year, the company is now expected to launch 3-4 new models in the second half of this year. Citing sources in BlackBerry's supply chain in Taiwan, DigiTimes reports that BlackBerry plans to come up with 3-4 new Blackberry 10 OS running handsets.
BlackBerry's first entry-level BlackBerry 10 model, the BlackBerry Q5 will be available in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia (including the Asia Pacific region), and Latin America beginning in July.
The BlackBerry Q5 is the company's third smartphone to run the new BlackBerry 10 system. It will have a physical keyboard, something that sets RIM's devices apart from Apple's iPhone and most Android phones.
The Q5 differs only slightly from the Q10. Both have 2GB of RAM, though the Q5 has only 8GB of flash memory compared to 16 for the Q10. The Q5 has a 3.1-inch LCD display and a 5 megapixel rear camera....
