TOP 7 BEST SELLING BLACKBERRY PHONES AND THEIR PRICES IN NIGERIA (2015)

A is for Apple, B is for Blackberry. C can be anything as long as we can ping over a bowl of apples. To many female folks, blackberry is more than a pet. The rest can do just anything to have it. Blackberry is the most adored phone brand in the world. Blackberry has a long history of smartphone production, they made social media popular on mobile and optimized emails and office applications for its users, they introduced a secured messaging app (BBM), a responsive mobile browsing experience, a unique internet subscription package, powerful rear cameras, QWERTY keypad and 3G. Generally, their phones were relatively expensive, their batteries were not smart enough, their phones were intolerably slow and crashed too easily. Most blackberry users had multiple batteries and carried their phone chargers along with them everywhere they went. During the blackberry age, blackberry was the second highest addiction after alcohol. Tides have changed, so have blackberry. They were the worst hit victims of the smartphones wars. BBM has been franchised, Samsung, Tecno, HTC and others can now ping! Today, Blackberry is looking too pricey for what it offers, thanks to new phone brands like Tecno and Infinix. They priced blackberry out of competition. Blackberry is still a symbol of quality and Nigerians still have it at the back of their minds that “No good thing is cheap and no cheating is good.” Hmm…It’s been a long trek but we are finally there; the most demanded blackberry phones of 2015 from online phone stores in Nigeria. From the first to the least.

1. Blackberry Q10

The BlackBerry Q10 is the blackberry’s first QWERTY keyboard phone since it launched the BB10 Operating System with the touchscreen only BlackBerry Z10. It’s something of a hybrid, combining the old and the new of the BlackBerry formula in an attempt to tackle the era of super phones while staying true to the brand’s roots. With a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 3.1-inch touchscreen display and 8-megapixel rear-mounted camera, the Q10 is far from a direct Samsung Galaxy S4 or HTC One rival, however. It exists to delight business users with its messaging abilities, while offering just enough of the modern smartphone versatility and power. The Price of Blackberry Q10 (White) in Nigeria is 40,000 Naira. These prices are valid as at the time of writing this piece. To know their prices, click on the individual links.

2. Blackberry z10

It’s been a long time coming but BlackBerry (formally Research in Motion) has finally unveiled its BlackBerry Z10 and the keyboard-touting BlackBerry Q10. Both these new handsets run the brand new BlackBerry 10 operating system, which BlackBerry hopes will rival Android, iOS and Windows Phone, and in doing so give the company a truly independent foothold on the smartphone market, as opposed to going the Samsung/HTC/Nokia route and using other manufacturer’s software. It’s a risky move as the market is already somewhat saturated with interface choice so many punters would rather not have their choices widened. Moreover, these days phones are very much more defined by their hardware features than what software they run – after all, we all expect these interfaces to just work – so will BlackBerry’s tactic succeed? By the way, the price of Blackberry Z10 in Nigeria is 42,000 Naira. These prices are valid as at the time of writing this piece. To know their prices, click on the individual links.

4. Blackberry Z30

The BlackBerry Z30 is the largest phone BlackBerry has ever produced, at least it has the largest screen. It’s a larger-screen alternative to the BlackBerry Z10, its 5-inch screen matching the most-celebrated Android phones of the year. It’s common these days for phones to try to look and feel as thin and light as possible. In a world of phones of ever-increasing size, it’s quite a feat, but the BlackBerry Z30 doesn’t care much about such things. The BlackBerry Z30 would rather seem strong and reliable. That is part of the reasoning behind the look of the phone’s back, which is made of a ‘glass weave’ plastic that looks a lot like carbon fiber and is twice as strong as normal plastic, according to BlackBerry. These may be the words of a cynic, but the ‘strong’ look of this glass weave rear is undoubtedly its most important aspect. Its actual protective benefits don’t stand up to all that much scrutiny. A phone is most at risk of serious damage when dropped on its edge, causing ripples of pressure that can shatter a screen. The price of Blackberry Z30 in Nigeria is 55,000 Naira. These prices are valid as at the time of writing this piece. To know their prices, click on the individual links.

5. Blackberry Leap

BlackBerry 10 seems to be a strange dichotomy. It’s a very functional OS, and the Hub continues to be the best email and messaging platform I’ve seen in any mobile platform. And yet it all seems almost unfinished — like it’s missing something visual or practical to make it look more polished. The inclusion of the Amazon App store was meant to legitimize the addition of Android apps, which is nice, except the selection seems to change without warning. The price of Blackberry Leap in Nigeria is 60,000. These prices are valid as at the time of writing this piece. To know their prices, click on the individual links.

6. Blackberry Passport 

The BlackBerry Passport is a square smartphone aimed at what the Canadian company is calling ‘serious business professionals’. That’s the type of person who spends the majority of the time on their phone churning out emails, jumping into conference calls and loudly arranging power lunches. At least that’s our take on it. Aside from its most obvious design quirk, the Passport has a physical keyboard to appeal to loyal BlackBerry phone fans, a huge battery to keep you working longer and it runs on the new BlackBerry 10.3, which now includes support for Android apps via the Amazon App store. That quirk we mentioned is that this is an (almost) square phone. Rightfully, it sounds ridiculous but BlackBerry believes there’s method to the madness. The Passport has the same profile as an actual passport, although at 9.3mm thick it’s noticeably chunkier. The extra width is aimed to give you more room to work on spreadsheets or documents without having to zoom in and out of the page. It doesn’t, however, make up for the fact that a wide phone makes for a supremely cumbersome and awkward phone to use, especially in one hand. BlackBerry Q5 has a refined Operating System that is fantastic for messaging. You're never far from accessing your communications, whether they're email, texts, social media mentions, voicemail or phone calls. Gestures are the key to using BlackBerry 10 OS efficiently. The price of Blackberry Passport in Nigeria is 104,000 Naira. These prices are valid as at the time of writing this piece. To know their prices, click on the individual links. 

7. Blackberry Q5

The Q5 still isn't cheap, especially when you can buy superb Android phones such as the Sony Xperia SP for a similar price, unfortunately, it's not especially stylish, being made of hard plastic. The material feels tough, though, and the Q5 feels like it could survive a tumble.
Unlike the more expensive Q10, the Q5's dual-core processor runs at 1.2GHz instead of 1.5GHz, the camera's sensor has five rather than eight megapixels and the Q5 is a sealed unit, which means you can't replace the battery, but the phone's relatively large 2,180mAh battery lasted over 12 hours, so you shouldn’t have to worry too much. BlackBerry Q5 has a refined Operating System that is fantastic for messaging. You're never far from accessing your communications, whether they're email, texts, social media mentions, voicemail or phone calls. Gestures are the key to using BlackBerry 10 OS efficiently. The price of Blackberry Q5 in Nigeria is 33,000 Naira. These prices are valid as at the time of writing this piece. To know their prices, click on the individual links.
