Expert Review for the BlackBerry Curve 8520 Black (T-Mobile) Cell Phone
Expert Review    3.8
by Joni Blecher -- August 28th 2009
The latest BlackBerry Curve has a few new design elements that set it apart from its siblings: namely there’s a track pad in place of the track ball and dedicated music buttons at the top of the device for easy control over the music player. Simply put the friendly icons, games, dedicated music icon, easy-to-customize web interface, and rubberized casing found on the BlackBerry Curve 8520 definitely gives this smartphone a more fun than business feel to it. If you’ve been reluctant to try a BlackBerry because you think it’s for corporate users only, the Curve 8520 might make you think twice.
