BlackBerry Curve 8520
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 aims to go where no 'Berry has gone before, a land with no trackball. RIM's trackball is beloved and like the BlackBerry line, addictive. It's responsive, accurate and more efficient than the much more common d-pad. So why axe it?
Pros:
- Good battery life
- durable
- great trackpad
Cons:
- Lesser features than the BlackBerry 8900 for not much less money

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Lightning Review: Cheap (Not The Good Kind)
It's not that it's poorly built-the construction is plenty sturdy, like all good Fisher Price toys. But it's like RIM took the excellent Curve 8900 (which is also on T-Mobile for $US30 more ) and re-designed it for a very sophisticated 6-year-old.

Pros:

- Dedicated media keys
- Supports calls over Wi-Fi
- Very good attachment support

- No 3G data

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Review
As a ‘My first BlackBerry', the Curve 8520 is bound to win a new legion of fans.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 review
All in all, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 smartphone is an impressive piece of telephonic gadgetry for the money. We've yet to have a chance to test out its battery life but based on all the other BlackBerry handsets we've tried, expect it to be unfazed bv being in standby for a period of two weeks and...
