CURVE 8520 ROCKS

This phone is by the far the best phone I have ever owned.  It is very fast, it has great email capabilities, and so much more.  The only thing I am dissatisfied with is the camera.  If it had a flash, it would of been so much better.  I would recommend this phone to anyone.





Great email capabilities, WIFI, Fast processor,great music experience and much more.
NO flash

 it is a very very good phone using this after using top end nokias such as nokia n97 and this is definitely better. the only flaw is the not so good(a bit on the bad side) camera and the fact that theres no flash. also, blackberry should start putting fm radio into its phones. otherwise it is the best you can get for its money.. highly highly recommended. better than the best nokia or sony that is in the market, better than xperia and n97, and if a basic blackberry is soo good, whats the need to buy a more expensive one? simply the best!





great OS, very fast, amazing emailing experience, too much fun to use, great music playing capabilities, amazing user experience
camera could have been much much better, no flash. BB should market the phone better so that a wider audience knows about its product. too much fun to use.
Caution- Using this blackberry can be highly addictive.

i have had this phone for a month now and i have to say it is my favorite out of all the phones i have owned.  you can personalize it, sound is great, and looks great.  after downloading a theme creator program i am now able to make custome themes for my phone.  love this phone and would reccomend it to anyone.





small, lite, looks great. speaker phone is loud and clear, can personalize, trackpad instead of ball, outside edge of phone has a rubberized feel
no flash for the camera
