Blackberry Curve 8520. Enter the belly

The Blackberry… you only need to say that word these days and various not very attractive images spring to mind. John Prescott, as the most cringingly obvious example. Peter Mandelson, not very far behind. Close-to-heart-attack bankers and city types on buses, pinging out emails and updating spreadsheets mere minutes after getting out of bed and starting their commute into the belly of the beast.

But things, thanks to the Blackberry 8520, might be about to change. For the better? Well, we won’t go that far. But change is change, and it looks very much like it’s on the way. The main reason being that this is going to be pretty much the first affordable Blackberry ever. We resisted saying cheap there, because this is still a very smart smartphone, so you’re never going to be looking at something that’s going to go straight to the bargain bin, but as these Blackberry curve 8520 deals prove, the Blackberry Curve 8520 is a phone you’re going to be able to pick up at a surprisingly – even excitingly – cheap price.

Yes, there’s no 3G. Yes, the camera’s no winner at 2MP. Yes, there’s a whole bag’s worth of other stuff that’s been shaved from your typical all-singing/-dancing Blackberry, but in these stringent times who says that such a bad thing? Not us, says us. And says this Blackberry Curve 8520 review. The keyboard’s great, the optical trackpad is being debuted, and the whole thing just feels… well… nice. Really, really nice. And things that are cheap as well as nice: they make us happy.
