Blackberry Curve 8520: The End of the Suit
The end of the establishment is near as Blackberry tries to distance itself from the "businessman only" tag it has created for itself. The 8520 provides a great entry level handset to the Blackberry family that boasts a phenomenal, responsive trackpad and dedicated music keys for the person who isn't running late for this month's board meeting.
But the real brilliance of the Blackberry Curve 8520 comes in the flat, easy to use QWERTY keyboard that makes social so easy even a businessman could do it. But that's not who this phone is aimed at, the instant messaging and twitter apps are a testament to that. The full range of Blackberry's apps is available for download on the 8520, providing limitless opportunities for personalisation and customisation. And with push emailing there is no waiting for that annoying inbox updating; they simply arrive as they are sent to any one of the ten email accounts that can set up on the handset.
The 2.46 inch backlit screen combines with the trackpad to give a really well done web-browsing experience that has clear and accurate results. Videos and pictures are a dream with the 320x240 resolution. Although there is no internal GPS, the mobile can use Google Maps which will give a pretty good estimated position based on local cell towers, providing great directional capabilities.
The pay monthly phone also comes with wifi capability to let you surf the web even faster along with awesome UMA technology, allowing you to boost your mobile signal using home or public wifi, so no more static and dropped calls.
Speaking of dropped calls, the Blackberry Curve 8520 can be used internationally for all of those wanderlust gap year students, providing really good reception in numerous countries around the world. You can leave your charger at home because the handset can easily get three days of solid use out of one charge, very on par with Blackberry's notable battery life.
Top it all off with an mp3 player, video camera, and a 2 megapixel camera with 5x zoom, the 8520 really shows why it is the pinnacle anti-suit mobile phone from Blackberry.
