Reviews

If you want a stylish yet affordable BlackBerry that's great for email, social networks and keeping organised, go for the BlackBerry 8520 Curve in vibrant violet.

Keeping in touch made simple

With the BlackBerry Curve 8520, it's easy to stay in touch with friends, family and work colleagues. Just download apps for your favourite social networks like Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin - then get all your updates without the hassle of going online. It has BlackBerry Messenger built-in too (like all BlackBerry phones these days), so you can also instant chat with friends and work colleagues who've got a BlackBerry phone too. It's much quicker and easier than texting.

Share photos as they happen
Want to show those great photos you took at the Reading Festival to your friends? It's fast and simple to share them with the BlackBerry Curve 8520. Because it has Wi-Fi, you'll be able to upload those prized pics to your social networks in seconds - so your mates can see what you got up to in the mud straight away. As the Curve is a 2G BlackBerry, it's not as fast as a 3G phone if you're uploading stuff outside a Wi-Fi zone. If your heart's set on a 3G BlackBerry, it's worth checking out the BlackBerry Bold 9300.

Dedicated music buttons

Unlike the BlackBerry Bold 9780, you'll find special music buttons on top of the Curve 8520. They'll help you change, repeat or skip tracks quickly and easily - or even pause to talk whenever you want. So whether you're into rock, R&B or Rachmaninov, you'll be able to listen to your favourite music the way you want - just like you would on an MP3 player.

Easy to type and navigate
It's really easy to find your way around the BlackBerry Curve 8520. That's down to the clever touch-sensitive trackpad, which you'll find on most new BlackBerry phones. You can use it to get to your menus, web pages and emails - as well as the work appointments in your calendar - as quick as a flash.

Keep connected by email

Like other BlackBerry phones, you don't have to access your PC to get hold of your emails. Let's say you've waited all morning for an email confirming you've won that important new client, but now you have to pop out for a meeting in the afternoon. No need to worry, though - thanks to a clever feature on BlackBerry phones that you don't get on some smartphones. It enables email to be delivered automatically to your BlackBerry so you can access and read it while you're away from your PC. Your Curve will let you know as soon as it comes through, too.

Get email and BlackBerry Messenger
To get email and BlackBerry Messenger on your Curve 8520, you'll first need to opt in to the BlackBerry Internet Service. This costs �5 every 30 days - we simply take this from your credit unless you opt out. Just call 40035 free from your Curve 8520 to opt in.

Discover new music through friends

The BBM™ Music app lets you discover the tunes your BBM friends are listening to - and lets them enjoy your songs, too. It's a great way to play and grow your music collection on your BlackBerry Curve 8520 - so you can connect with your BBM friends on a whole new level.
