BlackBerry Curve 8520 review
With the BlackBerry Storm, RIM made a huge step towards the consumer market. With a touchscreen, newly designed multimedia player and a 3.2-megapixel camera, it was a step away from the straight-laced business philosophy that people were used to from the Canadian manufacturer.

RIM BlackBerry Curve 8520 review
A great budget option for the BlackBerry and a good starter phone if you are new to the brand. However for BlackBerry old-timers, you will need to go up a price level to get all you really want from this business device giant.

Review of T-Mobile's BlackBerry Curve 8520 with optical trackpad controller
The recently launched BlackBerry Curve 8520 for T-Mobile offers most of the 8900's appeal, but in a slightly less expensive package. It also is the first BlackBerry to feature the optical trackpad controller. We test it out in this review, which includes two HD videos.

RIM BlackBerry Curve 8520
We like the media playback controls, we like the ambition of producing a low-cost BlackBerry, but until the Curve 8520 drops in price there's too much competition for us to recommend it

BlackBerry Curve 8520
Review Research in Motion's latest offering in the BlackBerry Curve range is described as an entry-level model. Indeed, it doesn't have a touch screen, GPS, or even a 3G network connection.
