Main review

The phone is a a good looking device featuring a generous 3 inch body with touchscreen for user input. There are only six physical buttons namely Call, End Call/Operation, volume up and down, camera, and lock/unlock phone. The main display is bright and features the basic details like battery level, time, connection strength and also the much hyped about but generally useless widgets.

• The touch interface is itself quite easy to use. It is smooth and and does its job quite well. Scrolling up and down is although much easier with the volume keys than with the touch interface.

• Call quality is good and even when signal strength drops the call is not cut off and voice clarity remains. But call volume is not very high even when using the headset. Only FM Radio and music player volume go to Level '14'; call volume and phone sounds' volume go to only level '7'.

• There are default wallpapers each of which contain 3 pictures and this can be scrolled left or right to change into any one of the 3 pictures. This works well with the default wallpapers of Samsung but when you see your own wallpapers showing only 1/3rd in the screen you'll realize its a foolish design decision on the part of the developers.

• The camera is pretty good and night shot come out rather well.

• The music initially sounded a little hollow but somehow after a few days it sounds better. The headset is pretty good and volume levels are acceptable.

• FM was iffy. Maybe the phone's positioning wasn't great.

• Connection on the USB to the PC is very fast and although the bluetooth is also 2.1 version you'll find yourself using the USB cable only to transfer files.

• On the security front you have Mobile Tracker technology and you can password protect various parts of the phone like Messaging, phonebook, your files, SIM card etc.

• Messaging is a dream. You can use the standard keypad or you can tilt the phone horizontally and use the QWERTY keypad. You can also use the stylus to write your own message but handwriting recognition is very poor. I tried writing "8" 10-15 times and then only its managed to recognize it.

• A smart unlock feature lets you make a symbol on the phone's screen (even if phone is locked) and if that symbol is a assigned to a person the person is called, if the symbol is assigned to an application then that application opens.

• Browing on the net is definitely fast. It loaded the PC version of sites vey fast with the default browser also. Moving around the websites using the touch interface is very fast, unlike document viewing. Clicking on the links is a little tough without the stylus. Also, every few minutes links don't open even after clicking on them repeatedly. Then you have to either restart the default browser or wait till a "No Response" message comes. In Opera Mini I didn't find this issue.

• There are a few preloaded games which are pretty fun to play.

• Document viewing is a letdown. You move around the document with your fingers but its very slow and you'd be barely using the useful stylus because of another bad design decision; the stylus is not fitted into the phone's body.

• Battery wise I was not convinced by the 13 hour advertised battery talktime and in the first few days I used it so heavily that I was charging the phone everyday. But from the fourth day onwards I am using it moderately and seems like it will go on for 3-4 days on a single charge. 4 hours video playback, 4-5 hours calls, 1 hour music playback, 20-30 minutes of GPRS/Edge and it lasted for two days.

• Video player is good. The Samsung New PC Studio software converted some video files and transferred them to the phone. The files played smoothly and were of high video and sound quality. 700 MB files when converted to 500 Mb mp4's played with good video quality on the phone. Video details are: 320x240 resolution, 1200 Bits/sec, 15 fps, MP4

• Photo gallery is so awesome!!!!! Besides, it opens up 2-3 MB photos with ease.

• File management could be much better. If you put 500 wallpapers in one folder then god help you if you want to see the wallpaper whose filename starts with "Z".

• Phone hangs often after a call when I pressed call end button. Also, when giving a missed call to a person, sometimes I am unable to end the call. The only solution was to restart the phone. This has happened six times

• Display quality
• Call quality
• Good touch interface
• Battery (lasts 2 days with moderate to heavy use)
• Music and video player does its job
• Camera quite good
• Web browsing (even if its w/o 3G or WiFi)
• 8GB memory card support (am using a Sandisk 8GB microSD card right now)
• Messaging a pleasure
• Games are fun
• Samsung New PC Studio s/w works well with the phone
• Price

Disadvantages

• Cannot view SMS's while on a phone call. Can only write SMS's and emails during calls
• Document viewing is a pain
• Stylus cannot be attached to the phone's body
• File Manager can be much better
• Have to buy a separate screen guard as default one already is on its way out when you're buying the phone
• Handwriting recognition
• Design decision related to wallpapers in topmost screen
• Call volume could be higher
• Memory card not hot swappable
• Default browser link clicking is a bit iffy.
• No 'Back' button in the touch interface
• Phone hangs while ending a call/missed call

Research In Motion, the maker of BlackBerry devices, has refreshed the Curve line-up in India with the launch of BlackBerry Curve 8520. Priced well under Rs 20K, this is the company's low-cost offering in the already crowded smartphone market.

With its launch, the phone also replaces the BlackBerry’s traditional trackball navigation and becomes the first BlackBerry device to sport dedicated music keys.




Looks & display

Sporting a glossy finish, Curve 8520 has a 2.64-inch TFT widescreen with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels. The phone has a QWERTY keypad with smaller keys compared to other Curve models, however, they have been slightly raised for easy tapping.

Curve 8520 is the BlackBerry's first handset to sport trackpad instead of the famous trackball navigation. The new trackpad replaces the traditional BlackBerry trackball found on the majority of RIM's smartphones.

The phone is also the first smartphone from BlackBerry to sport dedicated music keys at the top that allow users to play and pause tracks, or go forwards or backwards. Unlike other BlackBerry phones, Curve 8520 has navigation and calling keys right below the display.

Measuring 109mm in height, 60mm in width and 13.9mm in depth, it weighs 106 grams.

Camera

The smartphone features a 2 megapixel camera with 5X digital zoom but there is no flash or autofocus feature. It offers video recording at a resolution of 320 x 240. Curve 8520 supports most of the video formats including MPEG4, H.263, H.264, and WMV3.

RIM's most popular BlackBerry Bold also has a 2 megapixel camera but offers flash.

Memory & OS

Blackberry Curve 8520 features the same OS as the company's Bold 9000 and Curve 8900 Javelin.

The smartphone has a 512MHz processor and 256MB of internal memory. The phone also packs a 2GB card for memory addition.

Features

Blackberry Curve 8520 packs Stereo Headset, 2GB card, USB cable and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The phone comes pre-installed with many apps including MemoPad, Calculator, WordTo Go, Sheet To Go, Slideshow To Go, Video Camera, Voice Notes Recorder, Voice Dialing, Password Keeper, and Saved Messages.

For gamers there is BrickBreaker, Word Mole, Texas Hold'Em King 2 (Poker), Sudoku and Klondike.
