Him, 26 Jun 2025Does whatsapp still work on it? How did you sideload it?That was in 2019.
I sold off my Q5 for a very good price in 2021.
But, if the original BB devices make a comeback, I will be the first one to buy.

          I have an issue with my blackberry Q5. After the security wipe, the sim card is not working. It was working perfectly before that. Suddenly after wipe no sim card works. I read about the sim card case may be damaged but how it can be damaged suddenly without any harm.

          is there anyone faced this problem before can help me with that?

                  I just received my q5 and am in the process of updating to 10.3. So far it seems like a nice solid little device. Next I ditch google.

                        [deleted post]I am a fan of Blackberry too. I got Q5 and a Curve 9220, both in working condition. Somehow I did get some idea that someone in world will come to me to get a working condition blackberry phone with original BBOS.

                        Unfortunately I don't know which part of world you are, but I don't think any courier or postal service would deliver it free.

                        And it has been my experience, things when given away free are never valued.
                        I am not greedy about money.
