Blackberry Curve 8520 launched

nice! if this’ll be less than P15k here, i’ll definitely be getting one once it gets out! :D

For some strange reason, I find the Blackberry phones more appealing than the Nokia E-series.

Hopefully, I’d be able to save enough money to get a Blackberry phone this Christmas. Unless SonyEricsson comes up with better phones.

a younger sibling of the Blackberry Curve 8900? just like the Nokia E63 being the younger sibling of the Nokia E71.

The Nokia doesn’t even compare to this phone because there is a lot you can do with Blackberry that you can’t with Nokia.

@reina 2 hours lang actually. Had an Apple event there last week and the parking pass I got had no extra charge.

This review is interesting but I feel Nokia E63 still cool and quite affordable..

u can do so much more with symbian phones, just install third party softwares and you’ll be amazed by its capabilities.

by the way, it was not meant to compare Blackberry vs Nokia. it was just meant to scale ratio within each product groupings, with this unit almost the same as Blackberry Curve 8900. same with Nokia E63 to be almost the same with E71.

hmm…

my bet is that the backspace will be tortured if i owned this phone! considering my big fat thumbs typing sms! wahaha!

wow joyce. what are you trying to say by “it’s not a pinoy phone”? deym… do some grammar check first before you imply that filipinos are stupid.

I’ve been seeing articles online that it sells for only P14,995 (prepaid kit). Tried calling globe but the csr told me that they still have to confirm the price. Labo.

luckly i have BB 8520 curve. my mom gave it as a gift for my graduation. its nice and cute =) but my problem is the camera. it’s not good if it’s dark. there is no flash and even with the help of night set up it is not still a could camera catch. but over all it is a good cellphone.

@ivy
where did your mom buy it? i want one for christmas. does yours have international warranty? does anyone know where i can get this? like a retail store? thanks

@graciaa. where did you get the globe price?

I saw the BB Curve at globe P15800 but I also saw it in the newspaper for around P13000-14000 with smart.

I will be getting a BB Curve 8520 from Globe. The unit comes free with Plan 2500. You just need to shell out the first one-month subscription. And beside, to enjoy the email and IMs, there is a Php800/month subscription, on top of the Plan subscription. I guess it is worthwhile subscribing to the Personal BB Plan, so as to maximize the Blackberry RIM network and super-fast IM capability. If you are not satisfied with the camera function – this is what I can say – BB phones are not meant of high-quality/digital photos. If you want high-quality/digital photos, use the Nikon or Canon DSLR. Remember, Blackberry phones are meant for business and not necessary for leisure.

I have a blackberry 8520 and its the best phone ive ever had unlike the htcs and iphones that hangs and freezes alot! I live in san diego ca and its the best phone around here!

hi,

i have nokia e63 and am satisfied with its Office applications i.e., word & spreadsheet. am interested also in blackberry, would you know if it also has Office applications?

thanks,

on how to use your bb, kindly read all the materials in the box when you got your bb. alot of information in there that will help you in maximizing your bb.

for the data plan for the bb for the globe users, if you are a prepaid user, you can only avail the bb data plan for 50PhP/day, 220PhP/5 days, 1200PhP/30 days but unlimited only to the BB ATN (BB apps only) and not to its webrowser (that includes youtube, downloading of images from sites). This holds true to postpaid users who have do not have a bb add on plans. there is more offers from globe to all postpaid users only. you can avail the unlimited usage for both BB ATN and that of the webrowser by using the following:
BB MAX 300 and send it to 8888 that is for 5 days
BB MAX ON and sent it to 8888 that is for 30 days

regarding to battery use, yes it only last for a day if you are always tinkering with it, not closing an application (you have to close it, not just jumping from one application to another) and not turning off your wifi and bluetooth.

just for info: when you are using BB, you are always in KB and not in TIME even you register to TIME. thus, if you are trying to cut down add on charges for your plans, you can switch off the data sending by clicking, home screen>manage connections>mobile network options>data service then click off. in this way, you can still receive and send sms and calls. then you can turn it on again if you want to browse the net thru BB ATN and its browser if you have registered to BB add ons, may it be daily or monthly.

i hope i am of help.
