Blackberry 8520
Phone owned for more than a year

You would feel better holding a pile of crap to your ear and calling it a phone. The camera flash is not necessary because the camera quality is so poor you wont even use it. The Internet is so slow it doesn't even have 3G. The operating system alright but gets irritating after a while. The phone cover automatically disassembles after a while of use.

Great value for money phone
Phone owned for less than a year

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. the screen is nice and so is the camera. only thing i wish is that the camera had a flash.
