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 »

I find this phone suits me down to the ground, I use it as an mp3 player with loads of different playlists loaded in to suit my mood. I have loads of lists and all my appointments etc are all in there. I can honestly say this phone has helped me org... more »

The Internet is way too slow and the keys are too small. With the Blackberry Curve 8520 nothing is straight forward. Downloading the Apps takes a long time and the battery lasts a day and a half at the most even with light use. I would never have ano... more »

Great phone, very easy to get the hang of using; and very different from other phone makes and models. Some fab features, and make keeping up to date with emails, social networking, and even work documents while on the go very easy. Great for both th... more »

I found the phone to be very good. It was my first Blackberry and I'm very happy with it. The Internet is slow and the phone unfortunately has a habit of crashing or lacking speed, but if you take the battery out and restart it that way, then it work... more »
