My father was thinking of buying a BlackBerry Bold 9790 later this month, as he needs a phone that can efficiently manage e-mails etc and has a business feel for around 20-25k, thus he was interested in the 9790. But with the Q5 (which is supposed to be a budget phone) coming up in July, and other Android options available as well I am confused as to what to do. Your help will be appreciated. =)

remember Q5 (just like Q10) may get delayed in launching here. so just because it'll be available by July in US or maybe parts of EU doesn't mean it'll be available here too. still waiting 2 months won't do any harm.

Even I would suggest you to wait for the new devices.
