REVIEW: BlackBerry Curve 8520

The key features of this new handset include a 2.46" 65K-color TFT landscape display of QVGA resolution, Comfortable four-row full QWERTY keyboard, Quad-band GSM support, Wi-Fi connectivity, 2 megapixel camera with fixed focus, BlackBerry OS v4.6 with responsive trackpad navigation, 3.5 mm audio jack with nice audio quality, good quality web browser, Office document editor, Smart dialing, Dedicated music keys and DivX and XviD video support.

There are many disadvantages of this Blackberry as well but they are mostly present in all other BlackBerry’s out there. Also Curve had to make a few sacrifices to keep the price of the phone within limits. The renowned big screen was trimmed down to the very usual QVGA resolution. It actually makes our Curve a phone as good as Nokia E71 and E72 and people generally do not have any qualms against them so they wouldn’t probably mind this Blackberry too.

Now the thing that basically pinches many critics is that you will have to pay almost as much as you have to for a Nokia E71 and the deal that you’re getting is far lesser than that, as we have a Blackberry mind you. There should be some way that the Curve will appeal general public and so the comparisons are somehow curbed.

The new promo in order to promote Blackberry Curve, that you don’t have to be serious to own a Blackberry, will take a lot of effort on RIM’s part as this is one company which has constantly kept business and pleasure on different palettes and it can’t just reverse everything in the blink of an eye.
