RIM has taken note of the consumer demand for inexpensive messaging phones and delivered several devices that bridge business and consumer worlds. Its latest budget offering is the BlackBerry Curve 8520 that boasts social network access and a full Qwerty keypad.

RIM's BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the cheapest QWERTY handset in the company's range, with a price tag ￡199 with an Orange pay-and-go SIM card, and is ideal for business...

The screen on this blackberry has malfunctioned.
The screen on this blackberry has malfunctioned and has a defect. It has numerous odd multi-colored stripes from top to bottom on the face of the phone. I am returning the blackberry to a Best Buy location to be replaced with another unit. The other features appear to be working.

Work gave me one of these to ensure that I always have access to my emails (using blackberry services). I have a 1st generation iPhone as well and have had many Nokia products in the past. Keep in mind that my review of this phone is in contrast and comparison to my iPhone.

BlackBerry 8520 Curve (Purple)
"Black Berry Curve 8520-I have ordered BB curve 8520 on Wednesday and got it delivered next wednesday..!! This is the best deal I could find online. To be frank, I read reviews about Shopclues which was neither gorgeous nor bad. I was scared to pay online thinking what if it is not delivered.

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.

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
T-Mobile is getting a bevy of smartphones this summer, and we're happy to see it (as are T-Mobile customers, we're sure). The carrier has recently launched the T-Mobile Dash 3G and the T-Mobile MyTouch 3G , and the HTC Touch Pro2 is just around the corner.
Pros:
- The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8520 features a responsive optical trackpad and dedicated media controls
- The smartphone also offers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 2-megapixel camera, and good call quality
Cons:
- Lacks 3G support and GPS
- You can only save downloaded apps to the phone's main memory

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
