UNLOCKED WORKING rare COOL retro BRIGHT RED Blackberry Q5 4G LTE QWERTY Keyboard

Description: This is a super cool and super rare Blackberry Q5 in a super red color. Even the popping pictures I took don't fully do it justice - this is the brightest screaming red I have ever seen on a piece of technology. Secret agent direct line to the White House / Kremlin kind of red. So let's get real: this is not the latest smartphone and Blackberry no longer even makes phones. The operating system in this thing is no longer supported and you won't be able to log into an App Store and download new apps. However, this Blackberry (unlike others you might find online) was once fully legally activated while Blackberry's servers were still running, and is fully legally unlocked, meaning that you can pop in any SIM card and go (you may need to manually set up the APN). For the photos, I used a Google Fi SIM card. Wifi is cool also of course. Please make sure the frequencies supported by the phone (see listing in one of the photos) match the network you are planning to use in the region you are planning to use it. In general, you will get low speed internet on any network with this device and high speed using Wifi and some networks depending on your region. What does work: The phone works great as a phone. Regular texting using the QERTY keyboard. Web browsing (it's an old browser though). The camera is pretty decent. Your photo library. If you search on the internet, you will find a few people who still use Blackberrys in 2024 and who generally write glowing reviews of the Blackberry OS. You may need to learn a few new swipe gestures to use this - for example, you need to swipe up from the bottom of the screen to see the Home Screen and to quit apps. So this is definitely not a phone for everyone. This particular Q5 is in good used condition. It was never my main phone but really only used exactly for the "secret agent" cosplay. Believe me, even a real diamond studded iPhone or a Himalayan crocodile covered one won't get you the attention that this phone does. But I am now married and no longer need the attention, and this phone is not practical as your only phone. This is definitely a second phone for special situations kind of deal. It comes with the following accessories that once cost an absurd amount of extra money: - original, separate, jet black Blackberry USB chargers for USA, for UK, and for Europe- one original Blackberry USB cable- one original Blackberry Y cable- one original Blackberry leather case- one original Blackberry set of headphones with original Blackberry leather case No original box, no manual - you will have to find that on the internet. It requires the "medium size" micro SIM, so if you have an existing nano SIM card, you may need a SIM card adaptor. Most new SIM cards today have different cutouts to support all the different SIM card sizes. So to be honest, this thing is a toy. One could even argue it never was a serious smartphone in the first place, but was always a toy. But at toys go, it is hard to beat. The quality and workmanship is exquisite, the keyboard is one of the best ever put on a smart device, and the red color is just the icing on the cake. And nobody else has one. I warrant that the phone is unlocked and working out of the box. If it doesn't work for you, send it back within 3 days at your expense for a full refund of what you paid. But otherwise, this is a vintage device and I make no further warranties. I hope this finds a new home with someone who appreciates the coolness factor and can afford a second phone like this just for the sheer fun of it.
