I don't see that as a serious issue, the battery is removable once you open the phone case but not like the Q10 and some other phone brands. Iphone 3, 4 and 5 batteries too is same.

If you need to change the battery, see a technician to do that for you.

please does it use mb data plan or the normal bb subscription? As in respect to too much consumption of android in respect to buying data
Re: Is Blackberry Q5 Good Enough?or Should I Go For Another Andriod Phone by JW214: 3:51pm On Jul 05, 2014
If you have taken your time to read through the thread I posted earlier, you won't be asking this question again.

With the BlackBerry 10, GLO 1k BIS and Airtel 1500 BIS works on it. I heard at the moment, it works on some Andriod devices too. I use one of the BlackBerry 10 devices and I spend 1k to get 3GB of data valid for 30days or expires when data finishes.

For any question as regards BlackBerry10 OS, Devices and subscriptions check this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/1241247/blackberry-10-devices-home-z10

In ma own opinion mehnn m also planning on getting the q5 too I use a bold5 now tho nd I got no regrets bt just wanna upgrade to the bb10 device ,m acually getting the q5 cus of its ram nd beastly specs nd at 33k its seriously worth it , I would prefer a q10 tho but its not worth it its more xpensive nd has almost the same specs wv the q5 ,2gb ram isn't a joke mehnn ,that simply means u aint geting any lags worth so ever no matter how u use it

I don't see myself buying any bb device again,Android phone is just too much,even the apps yet to come out are all supported by Android but bb,lol,they will first make the device before they sit in a meeting to decide which app the phone can handle...I thank bb for showing Android the way but the race has gotten too tough for them(bb) to handle..
