BlackBerry 8520 in depth

BlackBerry 8520 in depth - Thoroughly test the BlackBerry 8520 was undoubtedly a very enjoyable especially since it provides the ultimate experience on the market BlackBerry into a mobile that stands out above all for its performance and that arrives in stores with aggressive pricing with good weapons to fight in the midrange segment. Then, with their pros and cons, is a device worth checking out in detail what it is:


As always, I like to start talking about the design of devices and, in a highly competitive and saturated market such as mobile phones remains a key factor in making a purchasing decision on the part of users in the middle segment. In this regard, the BlackBerry 8520 Curve comfortably passes the test because it shows what consumers are looking at a BlackBerry-style in all "youth" because it is a classic thanks to RIM smartphones that differs from the rest her sisters BB with music playback controls located at the top.


It is clear that those accustomed to the high-end BlackBerry that will not have the finishes and details as fine as usual but in this case, a plastic casing and rubber edges but the truth is that it still seems like is very well done with a weight that feels good in hand. On the other hand, the inclusion of the trackpad to replace the traditional BlackBerry Pearl is a substantial improvement really worth more than anything about the usability of the cell (in fact I heard several users who are looking for BBs with trackpad and the pearl and is taken as something old which adds many are only 2 points because the BB is on the market with this technology at this time).

As for the TFT LCD display 2.46 inches but can be seen as something to back this BlackBerry to other models of the same company, the resolution of 320 x 240 pixels is not so bad and for a phone of this segment is not have much to be ashamed of. If you compare it to the screen of the BlackBerry 9700 (which has 480 x 360 pixels) it is clear that the difference is noticeable but not something we suffer on a daily basis and there is a significant price difference.

But that is not the only point "under" in the BlackBerry 8520 but were largely absent from within its specifications can be found is the lack of 3G and GPS. With regard to 3G is something that can "save" with WiFi and EDGE connectivity but clearly is not the same for experienced users (of which always points RIM even a mid-range mobile). However, even if it's something that can be analyzed as negative if we look to its main competitors in the market we note that in all, is in line with supply.

The old BlackBerry users will not find any problems as a new user of the platform I can assure you that once I got used to its operation and never had trouble performing the various tasks and not get hung up on any time: seems the 512MHz processor with 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM then sufficient to achieve a good performance. So it ends up being another positive point especially for those who are thinking that the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is chosen to go first in the universe BlackBerry.


On the other hand, as I showed examples of photos to see exactly what you can achieve the BlackBerry 8520 Curve's camera, which has 2 megapixel Fixed Focus with so we can not expect too much. It's a shame you do not have flash but while this item may be considered a low point, if we think of what other competitors offer the same segment and BlackBerry are never highlighted in this sense it ends up being a regular thing.

BlackBerry 8520's battery is 1150 mAh and although officially promise that should last about 4.5 hours of talk time and 10 days on standby, in my experience using it to handle with downloading email, text messaging, Twitter and other applications never last up to 2 full days.

To summarize this review of the BlackBerry 8520 in depth in design even though it feels somewhat plastic fails to give a sense of something humble, but it feels good in hand with perfect grip and the front is well achieved, and even pretty ... more than the RIM smartphone smarter than we know, he manages to take the BlackBerry experience to the satisfaction of the average range with the new trackpad and a good performance although some low points as the lack of 3G.
