Surf with Touch
The main difference between the 8520 and most of the Blackberry devices is its sensitive track pad replaced by familiar trackball. The trackpad works just like mousepad of a laptop, nevertheless it is more sensitive. When we tested its performance, it was found to be less accurate than a trackball. Notwithstanding, it makes the phone easy to slip into your pocket. Besides, it is a debut feature with this phone, and we are happy to use this innovation with an affordable handset.
QWERYT Keyboard: The Quintessence of the 8520

Moreover, it is a fantastic phone for social networking enthusiasts, owing to the easiness and accuracy of typing. But dialing is not simple, for number keys are mixed in with letters.
Easy Surfing but not 3G
Surfing the web with the gadget is Okay via GPRS, EDGE and Wi-Fi but it lacks 3G. However, Wi-Fi connectivity boost surfing while we are on wireless network. GPS is not available with the device, nevertheless, we can use Google Maps that triangulates the users position but it's not as accurate as GPS.
Improved User Interface
Several phones work on similar user Interface, but the BlackBerry is growing along with its own branch of family tree, so a new user may take time getting used to it. Once you are accustomed to the User Interface of 8520, it becomes easy to use. But, it is rather outdated in comparison with gaudy UI introduced in market by HTC Hero etc. However, we can download applications from BlackBerry Mobile Phones World that can jazz up the features.
Puny Photo Shooter
The screen of this Blackberry phone does not disappoint either, nevertheless, it does not exhibit as much resolution as we find with the 8900. But, we could not be fan of its 2MP camera that can't shoot clear photo in dim light due to the absence of flash although it does make videos.
Media Magnate
The Blackberry 8520 Curve is replete with hoard of media features. Whether it is listening to music or watching video clips or its storage capacity, all is exceptionally good with the phone.
Music on the go!
It's is a lovely phone for music freaks, promising painless musical experience. It comes with 3 dedicated keys to make you feel the thrill of music. You can enjoy music with the gadget while you are doing other activities with the phone. But, we longed it could show what is playing in back-ground on some lower or upper band. Nevertheless, we like its 3.5mm audio jack that is awkwardly placed on upper left side of the device. Obviously making the task of putting it into the pocket a difficult one.
Our Upshot
Blackberry 8520 Curve contract deals is a reasonably priced solid and vigorous gadget from one of the top mobile phone manufacturers in the world. We are impressed by its looks, display, storage capacity, communication and multimedia features, typing compatibility but could not be a fan of its camera and some other features of little importance. However, it's not new for a gadget of BlackBerry to provide inferior experience of photo shoot. So, after all it is worthy options for social-butterflies as well as business like mind people.
