5.0 out of 5 stars Great Phone! Great Service, February 27, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: BlackBerry Curve 8520 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
I bought this phone by amazon.com and the service was great! They didn't charge me a penny for delivery (UPS), and I had the best price possible for my BlackBerry. I waited for my brand new BlackBerry Curve 8520 2 days only. I saved hundreds of dollars, and after my purchase I just went to AT&T to connect my BB, and now it's working very well! I extremely recommend amazon.com as the best and safest place for buying on the Internet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Entry Level Blackberry for New Users, May 23, 2010
This review is from: BlackBerry Curve 8520 Phone (AT&T) (Wireless Phone)
Length:: 2:57 Mins

I picked up the Blackberry Curve 8520 with my corporate discount and walked away with a nice phone at a very reasonable price. I have to say that I really enjoy the web browser on the new BB. You can zoom in & out with ease. I thought no browser could compare to the iPod Safari besides the Android G1, but after getting this device - I can safely say that this browser is also one of the best. Its right behind the safari and G1. Prior models were confined to small screens, thirty-five dollar internet only data plans, and no ability to zoom in or out. You were subjected to a small screen and reading small text till your eyes was squinting like grandmas.

Pros:
Nice price for new smartphone users
Nice fashion colors that only the CURVE series has
3.5 MM headjack
Nice form factor
New OS (ONly 5.0 OS for SPrint and Verizon users)
Decent call quality (No issues yet)
Excellent new broswer
Mini SD up to 16GB (Wish it was 32GB)
Use your songs as ringers
Wi-Fi
Personal Email (Up to 10 accounts can be added)
IM
BB Meesenger
BB App World
Full HTML Web Browser (Sometimes)
Excellent Multimedia Player (Accepts every format possible)
Crystal clear screen for playing videos
Includes 2 chargers (Wall Charger & USB charger)
Includes ear phones

Cons:
For long time BB users, this device is really just a cosmetic upgrade with a new OS (Flashier Icons)
Micro USB (No more Mini USB)
No Flash on the camera
Only one theme
Feels like a plastic toy
No threaded text messaging
Poor screen resolution
Non RIMM Consumer Changes Mind!
No 3G (ONly 3G for Sprint and Verizon users)

Good entry level smartphones for new users who want to save without paying the high price. However, Verizon has pricey data and text messenging plans which are a requirement. Its hard to justify the plan prices for such an average entry level device.
