BlackBerry's Curve 8520 smartphone is too expensive to be a serious contender
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is RIM's attempt to produce a low-cost BlackBerry. The question, as always when a premium supplier attempts to slash costs to attract new buyers, is: does it make the cutbacks in the right areas?

Very poor battery life!
With an extremely poor battery life, this doesn't impress in any way. The screen size is small and the phone often hangs after excessive use. The only good part is that it's cheap and easily available.

THIS PHONE IS A BEAST!
I bought this phone from t-mobile over 4 years ago and 2 years ago I stopped using it. Packed it away in a musty cellar, moved halfway across the country with it in a random box of junk, and then kept it in another even mustier cellar.

Great value for money phone
Blackberry Curve 8520 is a great phone. The optical track pad is very handy than the track ball. The OS is very fast and smooth but the display is not that good. Browsing speed and usage is very easy and the OS is very User Friendly. the phone itself is all plastic but it feels sturdy and light.
Pros:
- Great call Quality
- great reception
Cons:
- Display
- Battery life
- No flash Support

"Out Of Date"
As my phone gets upgraded next week I thought I would write about my experience I have had with my Blackberry. I have owned this model for the last two years, but certainly not without its ups and downs.
Pros:
- Ok at the time
Cons:
- Lack of features, poor internet
- boring

Not what I expected
Newegg, however, was very courteous and understood the situation and gave me a refund, which which is why i gave the rating 2 eggs instead of one. Situation is not all newegg's fault, I blame their third party supplier.
Pros:
- It arrived fast
Cons:
- Not what I expected
- Phone arrived in a box that was not that of what the picture displayed
- Opened the box and found that the phone was manufactured by some 3rd world country company and did not have the T-mobile logo on it

BlackBerry Curve 8520
I had this and I absolutely loved it. Right up until I didn't, then I absolutely hated it. This thing was like a mini-computer you could take calls and texts on. I would store all of my clients' information in this thing.
