On Tuesday, at the BlackBerry Live 2013 developer event in Orlando, Fla., Research In Motion CEO Thorsten Heins showed off the Q5, a small, thin handset with 3.1-inch touchscreen and a physical QWERTY keyboard.
It was described as an entry-level BlackBerry 10 device to appeal to the company’s critical overseas markets.
“I think you’re really going to like it, it is a sleek, slim, high-performance device,” Mr. Heins said.
