BlackBerry Curve 8520 Review
Aug 19 2009, 3:00pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr
Our review partner Digital Trends tested the BlackBerry Curve 8520 and published a review of this T-Mobile BlackBerry. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 even scored an Editors' Choice Award.
Quote from the review: "You don't often hear "Wal-Mart" and "BlackBerry" in the same sentence. But RIM's new Curve 8520 has been billed as the BlackBerry for the rest of us, available for just $50 at the country's largest, and decidedly mass-market, retailer.
This cheaper Curve certainly looks like a BlackBerry, acts like a BlackBerry, and has multimedia apps like most modern cellphones. But it only works on T-Mobile's EDGE network, not the faster 3G backbone. So is BlackBerry throwing Wal-Mart shoppers a curve with this new cheaper version?"
