BB curve, worth it or not?
What do you all think?
I am getting a contract phone and thinking about getting the BB curve 8520, but I want to be sure before I commit. Does anyone have any advice/comments? Thankyou |

If you don't know already [you'll be amazed how many people don't] it's not 3G and doesn't have GPS.
If those are important to you, the Curve 3G [9300 series] might be a better choice. |

I have the curve 8520 & I quite like it. It's got a nice feel to it and it's easy to use. If your looking for a phone for business use and stuff like that then the curve 8520 isn't really for you. But if you just want a great phone for casual use and (some) alright games, then I would recommend it.!

It is a great phone, had it before I got the Torch and I was amazed how good it is for the price!
The internet is still fast, despite not having 3G. ![]() If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask

I have had a Blackberry 8520 curve for the last 2 months on contract and It is an excellent phone. I had a couple of problems though. I am also surprised how good the sound is when playing my music on my Blackberry it is really crystal clear.
First was setting up the e-mail, but once it was sorted out the in was working fine without any problems. The 2nd Problem I had was when I was setting up the wi-fi on the phone and trying to get it to sync up with my wi-fi Router. For some unknown reason my Blackberry wasn't receiving an ip address. The router was a Talk Talk DSL 2780 that I was having problem with. I are now using a Netgear Dg834g and my blackberry is syncing to it everytime now. |

Somebody has already mentioned the 9300... have a look as it's the replacement for the 8520 and compatible with the new BB OS which I don't believe the 8520 is (I could be wrong).
