Expert Review

Review Details

 RIM, the company behind Blackberry phones plan to do away with the whole phone for the businessman image. Their new Blackberry Curve 8520 is a much cheaper phone at just Rs. 15,990 but what do you not get as compared to the costlier models? Firstly, there isn’t the sandy-feel scroll ball. It’s replaced by a slightly tacky but effective trackpad which doubles as a button. It makes usage a little more easier and effortless. There are a few glitches while using in bright daylight though. The QWERTY keypad still has the slightly banked and chopped design to it. Even though the keys seem tiny, using your fingers isn’t a problem with this kind of design. The back of the phone is a little squishy and you can feel the quality when you punch in keys which aren’t so nice. The sides of the body have a layer of rubber and this covers the controls available on the sides for the volume level, the camera and voice command buttons. This phone was meant to be for the every day Joe, so for ease, dedicated multimedia buttons are present on the body. The voice quality was average. The interface is still fast and all the usual software bundle is still present. The battery is a 1150mAh one and we didn’t face any instances of the phone running out of juice.

Some of the other options in this price range are the cheaper Nokia E63 and the sturdier E71. All in all, it’s a good phone for Rs. 15,990. It’s currently available through Airtel.
