With its friendly design, the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is undoubtedly a great choice for first-time smartphone users,” remarked Gregory Wade, Regional Vice President, Asia Pacific at Research In Motion.
The Curve 8520 is equipped with a powerful 512Mhz processor and 256MB flash memory. The smartphone sports a 2 megapixel digital camera with zoom and video recording, a 3.5 mm stereo headset jack along with BlackBerry Media Sync that enables users to sync music from iTunes or Windows Media Player with the smartphone. The quad-band handset features Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) for faster browsing and extended data coverage.
