BlackBerry Curve 8520
Rating: Stars  Brand: BlackBerry | Category: BlackBerry


Step up to the BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone and find your perfect work/life balance. This stylish, affordable BlackBerry device will keep you entertained and connected with push email, WiFi and instant Facebook access.  With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM has done a good job of creating an affordable phone with all the right features, although you might miss 3G connectivity.

The 8520's real strength lies in its Qwerty keyboard and messaging features, which make it a great phone for social networkers. You can set up as many as ten email accounts, and because the phone supports 'push' email, you'll get messages as they arrive, rather than waiting for your inbox to update itself.
Sites like Twitter and Facebook, as well as the instant-messaging app. they combine with a full Qwerty keyboard to make it a social phone, since long messages can be easily and accurately typed. The keyboard is a joy to use. The keys may be small, but they're also slightly tilted, and raised, so your fingers can find them without much issue.
The lack of 3G support puts the brakes on our surfing while we are out and about, but it's still possible, especially for data-light tasks like sending tweets. Happily, the phone does have Wi-Fi connectivity, which speeds things up when you're on a wireless network.

This device is available at JHL Communications. Contact us to find out how we can reduce your business mobile costs and deliver exceptional customer service.

Customer Reviews of the BlackBerry Curve 8520

An affordable phone with just enough features
by f.ribeiro on 29 Mar 2011
5 Star

RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8520 provides an inexpensive entry into this alternate phone reality, and we think you might just like it. You'll be burning up the social networks thanks to its Qwerty keyboard and solid apps, and a decent collection of media options means it's fun time. The biggest difference between the 8520 and other devices on the BlackBerry is its trackpad, which replaces the trackball you may know and love. The trackpad is a flat surface that responds to your touch like a mousepad on a laptop, but it's insanely sensitivity to make up for its tiny size. The trackpad isn't quite as accurate as the trackball, but it's very good, and it makes the phone easier to pop into a pocket, since it doesn't stick out from the body and get gunged up with dirt and crud. It's no wonder that RIM says the trackpad will be a feature on most new BlackBerry models, and we're happy to see this innovation making its debut on a cheaper phone. The 8520's real strength lies in its Qwerty keyboard and messaging features, which make it a great phone for social networkers. You can set up as many as ten email accounts, and because the phone supports 'push' email, you'll get messages as they arrive, rather than waiting for your inbox to update itself.
