Product Description
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 comes with a full QWERTY keyboard and a bright display screen. Its optical trackpad ensures smooth navigation (press the squarish pad down and choose a function). Pay a marginal roaming fee to use it across borders. Utilize T-Mobile's myFaves Service with myFaves plan to have a blast while on the go. The device allows laptop or PC synchronization (over-the-air or via the micro-USB port). You can make voice calls, e-mail without hitches, use its multimedia messaging feature, add social networking apps and what have you!
The Look
At 4.3 x 2.4 x 0.54 inches and 3.7 ounces, the candy bar-shaped Curve snugly fits into your palm. Its blue color is sophisticated with a frosty look (perfect for a professional take). The outer edges are defined with a soft-touch finish for a steely grip. Curved edges further enhance its aesthetic value rendering softness to its otherwise sturdy image. The 2.5-inch color main display (QVGA) with 320 x 240-pixel resolution is great for Web browsing, image viewing, texting and navigation. In a line, this Smartphone is a tad lighter and smarter than other models available at the same price.
Convenience
RIM BlackBerry’s hallmark is the trackball. It made BlackBerry users’ technology-oriented life easier. However, the frosty Curve 8520 takes a step away from this and comes with touch-sensitive, optical trackpad technology. With laptop-like features, navigating with it is super-fun. It helps you scroll and select (click or press-down). The BlackBerry Desktop Software (v5.0) is another convenient feature. It can synchronize your data and applications. Finally, you can get sorted and planned using any of the integral tools— alarm clock, calendar, calculator, task list and voice recorder.
Not-to-miss facts: Curve is BlackBerry App World ready with pre-loaded apps and is compatible with T-Mobile’s HotSpot @Home plan options, BlackBerry Plan Locked options, voice plan options and add-on line plans.
Performance
Packed with features galore, the Curve is a feat in itself. For starts, it functions on quad-band (GSM 850/900/1800/1900, GPRS, EDGE) that makes its service and call quality something to rave about. The in-built speakerphone adds to this flawlessness. Next is the Smartphone’s lithium-ion battery—offers talk time up to 4.5 hours and standby time up to 17 days (pulls you through tough times!) The phone’s contact storage feature is commendable too. Besides internal storage, it allows multiple-entry of phone numbers, e-mail and postal addresses, credentials and more. Ringer tones can be assigned or picture caller ID set for each caller. Opt for T-Mobile's MyFaves list to make unlimited calls to frequent callers.
E-Mail
BlackBerry Curve 8520 supports e-mail client. It embraces the ‘push’ e-mail for both personal and corporate POP3 and IMAP4 accounts. All those time-taking, heavy attachments (Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDF, JPEG, GIF, TIFF, etc) can be downloaded, edited and resent instantaneously using the attachment viewer. Moreover, you can synchronize Curve with your company's BlackBerry Enterprise server for trouble-free receiving of e-mails (directly into your phone window). How cool is that!
Messaging
The Curve comes with numerous pre-loaded, instant-messaging clients (for instance Yahoo, AIM, Windows Live, Google Talk, and ICQ). With them you can chat round the clock! What’s more, you can send and receive text (SMS), picture (MMS) and instant (IM messaging) at the click of the trackpad. It’s simple and sound. Once you are on, full HTML Web browsing is also a breeze. Use the Web2go to surf the Net and take multimedia messaging (with T-Mobile messaging plan options) to yet another level. Happy ‘thumbing’ and ‘texting’!
Bluetooth
Doesn’t data transferring and exchange become blissful if your phone’s Bluetooth Wireless technology is really efficient? Yes, The BlackBerry Curve 8520 comes with v2.0 Bluetooth that will help you connect to external Bluetooth wireless devices (car Kits, computers, Bluetooth stereo headset-A2DP, etc). No more craving or envying your friend’s music and movie collection! A tip: Invest in a stereo Bluetooth-enabled headset to stream music and rock on!
Camera
Capturing videos and photos have taken on a new dimension thanks to phone-cameras. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 has a 2.0-megapixels beauty with digital zoom. It clicks bright and clear still images or videos. You can upload a few to social networking websites and photo sharing apps (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or Flickr Uploader). Alternatively, you can spread them into your ‘life system’ via MMS (BlackBerry Messenger or other apps). The viewer supports BMP, JPEG, PNG, TIFF, GIFF and WBMP files. Well, isn’t it time for your memories to ‘turn a new leaf’?
Fun and More
‘A twist here, a game there’ is all it takes to make life interesting. The phone comes with pre-loaded polyphonic ringtones. The Curve also allows downloading of titles, MP3 ringtones, and graphics. When ‘bespoke’ is the new buzz word, why stop yourself from customizing a few graphics and ringtones? Set fave self-created images as your themes or backgrounds to personalize your phone. Last but not the least is its MP3 player—a wonder setting with specific media keys (skip, pause, repeat or stop) to access music and videos off your database.
