Blackberry Curve 8520 Review

Nothing rational seems to drive RIM's judgement when it comes to developing new smartphones. In a time when manufacturers are trying to attract more buyers with new features, exquisitely designed devices and eye-candy interfaces, the Canadian company seems to be stuck in the past.
Pros:
  • Even though is a mid-budget smartphone, there are a few positive things about Curve 8520 worth mentioning
  • The full QWERTY keyboard, even if it wobbles and is made from a very cheap plastic, it may become comfortable with a little bit of training.
Cons:
  • Not being able to setup an email account without a payed Blackberry Internet service is annoying
  • Overall, the device looks cheaper than its actual price
  • It doesn't offer anything new, and only a small fraction of what it needed to offer.

Aaron's BlackBerry Curve 8520 Black review

Despite its budget status, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 appeals to a group not previously served by RIM. It may not be the Bold or Tour, but with phenomenal battery life and superior PIM functionality, the 8520 provides the typical BlackBerry experience.

I hate BlackBerry. But being a communications addict, being locked out of BBM eventually drove me bonkers (very widespread in the Caribbean, thanks in large part to Digicel's domination of cell phone market).
