Social networking is made easy with integrated Facebook and Flickr applications specially developed for the BlackBerry platform. The curved backlit QUERTY keypad is surprisingly easy to work with, despite the small key size. All the productivity-hacking tricks you’ve come to expect when working from a BlackBerry Smartphone are present in the Curve 8520, and one of the added bonuses with this handset are the dedicated media keys designed to make it simpler than ever for you to find and play your tracks. MP3, AAC and MPEG4 are all fully supported with polyphonic MP3 ringtones and vibrate alert bringing a world of music to this Smartphone’s functionality. The built in voice recorder allows you to take notes on the move. The camera supports UMA technology, a 2MP camera with 5x digital zoom for capturing those little moments that you don’t want to lose. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 Silver is equipped with a 2.46 inch screen capable of displaying over 65,000 colours and delivers surprisingly good quality for a screen of this size. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 Silver measures 109mm in length and a thickness of only 13.9mm making it comfortable to carry in ones pocket. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 Silver has a standby battery life of 408 hours and a talk time battery life of 4 hours and 30 minutes.

The only down side with this phone is that it does not support 3G, meaning that whilst away from a WiFi point internet connectivity is slow, but still usable. When within range of a connectable WiFi network however, the browser races along and works very well on most websites, and despite the small screen size this is a viable “internet phone”.

For those with time for playing games, there are a few included with the default install, and many more available for download via the BlackBerry App Store. The media keys running along the top of this Smartphone make it an all-in-one personal music and video player as well, replacing many other devices and making more room in your pocket. The Blackberry Curve Silver incorporates the newer style track pad (replacing the old style track ball) which is far more sensitive and reliable. The track pad allows a surprising degree of control over the BlackBerry 8520 and makes it very easy to work with installed software with just a flick or a swipe of the Thumb. So… not every berry has a silver lining… but you get all the silver lining you need in the fantastic BlackBerry Curve 8520 Silver!
