Absolutely amazing. Only crashes every couple of days. Reasonably priced and totally worth every penny. The features are great, especially BBM... Everything works with no issues. The camera isn't great quality, but the other features make up for it. ... more »

Overall Blackberry Curve 8520 is a great phone, messaging is easy with the qwerty keypad and browsing the web is quick. I have used mine for emails but decided to stop as the messages were filling up far to quickly. Great games, mp3 and there are loa... more »

I got my blackberry because everyone was talking about it saying it is good. I feel that the phone is way over hyped and I would not recommend it. There are times when I want to throw the phone out the window, the blackberry messenger is ok but it ge... more »

Good Points - The qwerty keyboard is good for people who do not like touch screens. The scroll is sensitive (in a good way). It is very durable, and will not break the first time it is dropped. Blackberry messenger is very useful. Bad Points - Bat... more »

Nice looking phone, let down by very poor functionality. Often crashes, needing a full re-boot. Settings are too easily changed without confirmation. When putting the phone in your pocket or bag if you haven't locked the phone it has a tendency to di... more »
