## Description

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone fits neatly in your hand, and comes with a full QWERTY keyboard that makes typing and sending messages easy, and comfortable. The bright screen displays over 65,000 colors, providing a great viewing experience. Access what's important with trackpad navigation. Like a laptop, the trackpad lets you scroll through menus, icons, and information by gliding your finger over it. Press and click to select an item and navigate to where you want to go. Control music and multimedia with dedicated media keys found atop the new BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone. Skip over songs, pause music to talk, or repeat your favorites over and over. You can even mute phone calls with the easy-access mute button.

Review: Great phone! - I just got this phone and so far am extremely pleased with it. The tutorial is a great intro to the phone features. The trackpad makes the screen easy to navigate. I also made a call with it and call quality is fairly good--the friend I called had just gotten a new T-Mobile phone, so not sure if the slight echo was on my end or hers. I got used to the keyboard fairly quickly and have sent a few texts. Although the keys may be smaller than other models, I was still able to text with no trouble. The battery wasn't fully charged so it's charging now. Not sure about battery life, but will see how long it takes me to go through a full battery. This phone has so many great features, is light and easy to use--even for someone like me, who hasn't had a smart phone before.
Review: certainly no iPhone ... which is a good thing! - the 8520 phone actually works well on at&t! no matter how much you learn the iphone keyboard, a blackberry full physical qwerty still wins, hands down. the spell checker and predictive type on bberry is better vs iphone and with the physical keyboard you misspell a lot less. since you can sync your itunes on here you only "miss" the iphone for its apps which really only work best on wifi. 8520 is lightweight, fairly thin, very light, has nicely spaced keys, and really cool media controls blended into the top of the device. nice use of rubber here on the device too lends some durability to glossy plastic finish. I jammed a 16G nand flash card into it too so i have music, movies etc with me. I bought the unlocked version since i use the 8520 when traveling to US from abroad .... without a full blackberry data package you lose out on things like email and blackberry messenger - but this is my 2nd/travel phone so i dont care too much - I use it when in the US with pay as you go on at&t - i get what i want a phone that works, easy texting, wifi browsing and music/video. iPhone is my main phone abroad but it wont stay that way once renewal time comes. I could easily see 8520 being my main phone but if you want the mobile internet experience (3G) and slightly cooler packaging then go for the 9700, but you pay for it - a lot more. given cost differential I would easily buy 8520 over 8900 ...8520 just feels a tad cooler too vs 8900 still too corporate. yet both are pretty similarly equipped. if you had full blackberry data package with this as your main phone u r probably happy person. i am more than happy with this as 2nd/travel phone. Cool thing about this unlocked version is i can buy pay as you go sim card, slip it in and work no matter where i am. in past my edge (non3G) blackberries actually run things like google apps and internet fairly well. i am sure 9700 with full 3G is better but necessary??

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Pretty good phone overall!
*by J***V on March 31, 2011*

The Blackberry 8520 show here, turns to be a Curve and not a Gemini, although this is not really important because the phone as exactly the same features. Now let's try a pros/cons list. Pros: - The phone keyboard is quite good, it takes some time to get use to but is pretty good! - The OS is easy to use and easy to update too. - The phone has many applications, of course, this is not an Iphone (which is good!) and you will not find thousands of applications but still there are quite a few and so far, all of them work really good. - Receiving emails directly to the phone is useful but this is a feature that many other phones already have. - Love the trackpad (I personally hate the trackball, is kinda sucky) Now let's try some cons Cons: - The camera, is above average and in my opinion, it could be a lot better. - The battery life is kinda short, only like 5-6 hours using ONLY the BlackBerry Msn. Using other applications like the Windows live messenger, ubersocial and facebook can diminish this time roughly to the half and maybe less. - Rebooting times takes forever, sometimes it takes over 7-10 mins! In another matters, the phone arrived at perfect conditions with all it's accessories. It took my sim card without a problem and is working like a charm with my mobile company.
