The Curve 8520 is

a fantastic social smartphone from BlackBerry.

BlackBerrys are renowned for excelling at email and the 8520 is no exception. Get your emails delivered straight to your device so you are always on top of your social life. BlackBerry Instant Messanger is built-in to all modern Blackberrys so you can easily chat with any other BlackBerry user. The 35-key, backlit QWERTY keyboard makes typing a breeze and lightning fast.

You get access to a fantastic range of applications from BlackBerry App World, including more messaging applications, news readers, games and the brilliant Facebook™ app, allowing you to keep up-to-date with all your friends' statuses.

You get a 2MP digital camera (that also records video) in the 8520 and you can also instantly upload your pics to Flikr and Facebook. The 2.5 inch, high-res screen is clear and bright and makes your pictures and videos look great.

The media player has superb sound quality and dedicated music keys for easy access. The user interface is so simple and intuitive that using the 8520 is a joy. This BlackBerry is the first to feature a trackpad in place of a trackball for easier navigation.
