BlackBerry Curve 8520 review
T-Mobile's newest bargain BlackBerry phone is surprisingly capable and offers some new features, like an optical trackpad. Is it really a great deal? Find out in our BlackBerry Curve 8520 review.
Slick, lightweight design with a nice optical trackpad and media playback controls. Does almost everything the more expensive BlackBerry phones can do
Lacks GPS and high-speed networking. Call quality is mediocre. Battery life not as impressive as other BlackBerry phones
