BlackBerry Curve 8520 Smartphone

BlackBerry Curve 8520 SmartphoneWith the new 8520, the BlackBerry is targeted to mainstream users, not those who traditionally buy smartphone. This is reflected in its price as the phone will be available for free on £ 25 monthly contract or, alternatively, pay as you go you will be able to get their hands about 200 pounds, which is very cheap in the smartphone standards.

BlackBerry Curve 8520 Smartphone will look instantly familiar to anyone who uses one of the BlackBerry Curve handsets, with the exception of one new addition. Blackberry decided to launch a new optical track on this phone. Replaces the company's image, or mini-trackball "pearl", as he liked to call RIM.

RIM's representatives have informed us that this new trackpad can be used in all new equipment Curve mainly because it has no moving parts and is therefore less susceptible to dust and dirt. If so, it really has to deliver the goods. We were quite unimpressed with touchpads in optical devices such as HP iPAQ Voice Messenger, but fortunately, one in 8520 in a completely different league. It's a pleasure to use as accurate and flexible, and we do not really miss ball lifestyle in general. You can also adjust the horizontal and vertical sensitivity adjust the speed with which zips around the icons on the screen.

As a new trackpad does not stick out from the case, as the old trackball, RIM has made the four main buttons below the display to sit completely flush with the screen, giving his hand hoping sleeker than previous models of curves. It has also changed around some other checks. For example, passed the lock and mute buttons on the top of the screen to be replaced by the government three rubber transport controls the media - two keys and skip the track Play / Pause button. The traditional side-mounted buttons also have "weatherised, so we are not as exposed to the elements, as in the past.

RIM has also wisely added 3.5mm Headphone / Headset Jack, so if you do not like the supplied headset (and will not, because it is only mono!) You can swap for your own cans, but you will lose hands-free functionality. In addition to the standard headphone jack is a welcome, but RIM's annoyingly placed it on the left side of the phone, instead of upward, resulting in the lead usually snag when you're in and out of pocket handset.

On the plus side of 35-key backlit QWERTY keyboard is excellent as ever. Keys may be small, but they are slightly raised, they are easy to hit with your fingers and thumbs as tapping out e-mails is not a problem. Transmissive screen is nice and clear to create videos and photos look surprisingly strong. However, at 2.46in relatively small by today's standards and smartphone only resolution 320 x 240 pixels so he feels a little tight when you are using a web browser. Handset measures 109mm high, 60mm wide and 13.9mm deep and weighs 106g.
