BlackBerry Curve 8520 Smartphone (Electronics)

Customer Review

The Blackberry 8520 is probably at present one of the most inexpensive models made by RIM and now certainly affordable for people who want to use it as a lifestyle device.

Outwardly notice that it's nice and easy processing really very good. No creaking or wobbling. Everything fits.
On the lower back and sides, the BB has a rubbery surface that make it a tacky feel.

The keys are small, but after a short Eingewöhnugszeit relatively easy to operate and to feel.
Especially great is also the trackpad with which they are controlled by the menu. It's kind of sensor, about the you move your finger to select the objects on the display.

What I also noticed positive, are the media keys for the MP3 player, sitting on top of the BB. So you can relax and select the correct title during an application.
The sound quality is great and the well via the speakers (for a phone) can be adjusted out loud.

By 3,5mm jack can also use your own favorite headphones to the BB, where can I find the location of this connector on the left side a bit inconvenient. Is well thought out for this, however, that the headphones can engage correctly and sit so a little harder.

The menu is clearly laid out and intuitive.

With the Internet connection has been spared on this BB, unfortunately, at the wrong end, since it would otherwise have been a small all-rounder for me.
Anyone familiar with the item description, know that EDGE and Wi-Fi (WLAN) as the only access to the Web are available. (UMTS, HSDPA etc was unfortunately totally omitted).
Unfortunately, both work very slowly. The internet connection is slow and sometimes it can take 30-40 seconds before until an Internet page appears.
Therefore, I would recommend this device for mobile surfing (which I sometimes hoped it was) only conditionally recommended.
