inexpensive device called Q5 is the third multi-purpose phone company that works with the new BlackBerry 10. It will have a physical keyboard, something that differentiates RIM devices Apple iPhone and most Android phones, equipped with touch screen.
RIM CEO Thorsten Heins said the device “slim and stylish” will be available in red, black, white and pink. Heins introduced the phone to a packed room during the opening session of the annual three-day conference of RIM in Orlando, Florida.
The device will be available in Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia (including Asia Pacific) and Latin America starting in July. No Q5 is expected to be released in North America yet. The company did not disclose the price of the new phone.

U.S. delays RIM complicate efforts to retain their customers, who are tempted by the Apple iPhone and a range of Android based phones multipurpose. While the BlackBerry has lagged behind its rivals in recent years, many users have remained loyal because they prefer a physical keyboard on the touch screen found on other devices.
