Description

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is a consumer smartphone and has standard features including mobile email, calendar and instant messaging among many others.

The Curve 8520 has a new touch-sensitive optical trackpad as opposed to the trackball used on many other BlackBerry devices - this is said to improve the ease of scrolling through menus, emails, Web pages and images.

This phone was capable of browsing the web with the EDGE network and receive and send e-mails

The Curve 8520 was discontinued in April 2012, when the BlackBerry Curve 9220 was introduced as its successor.
