Who ever called the BlackBerry as a device only for executives, now, finally, no longer able to say. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 model is quite functional and serves well the needs of any person, whether or not an executive. Follow the below review, our impressions about the product!
The BlackBerry Curve 8520, like all other appliances line, has no touch screen, but with a novelty: instead of the trackball - that ball in the middle of the device. In her place, there is a trackpad, touch a button so you can perform navigation.
The convenience keys and volume buttons on the side of the device are rubberized. The keypad of this device is different from the others. Of course he does not abandon the QWERTY style, but conveys the impression of being fixed, ie does not seem to get "samba" as the other models.
Who has the fingers wide and large, however, will continue to have problems and continue typing more than one key at once, accidentally. But while the BlackBerry does not do a full touchscreen handset, the downside will be despised by the user.
Operating System remains the same ...
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 comes with the same operating system of their brethren. Is the OS 4.6, also present in the BlackBerry Bold, BlackBerry Curve 8900, Pearl Flip 8220 and others.
Regarding the connection, lack 3G and GPS, which is only felt by the lack user if he wants or needs to use as a modem. However, there is no interference for sending or receiving messages etc.. His connections are via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Camera and other applications
The Curve 8520 model has a 2 megapixel camera without flash or auto focus, which makes the images do not have a good resolution. This is also a heritage of the other models.
The screen is sharp and clear even at low resolution, only 320 x 240 pixels, if we compare with other models like the BlackBerry Bold, which has 480 x 320 pixels. Applications OS 4.6 clients are present, such as Documents To Go, with Notepad, spreadsheets and PPT, among others.
Battery
The surprise of this model was because of the battery. Unlike the BlackBerry Curve, for example, the battery lasts 8520 peacefully about three days, using them sparingly.
If you need a smartphone to stay connected full time, the BlackBerry 8520 will enable any user, officer or not, that connection. If the unit is supposed to be a smartphone, he got it!
