BlackBerry Q5 coming to Koodo

The BlackBerry Q5 is the lower-cost model designed for emerging markets and a way for BlackBerry to bring the BB10 OS ecosystem to users of older devices like the Curve and Pearl lines whcih are still favoured in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Canadians will soon be getting the Q5 from Koodo.

The Q5 is listed at Koodo's website as coming soon on and will cost $50 with the Koodo tab plan or $350 outright. That sounds like a fair deal for what looks to be a solid smarpthone with a decent QWERTY keyboard and all the glory of BB10.
