reviewsWhat are people saying about the BlackBerry Curve 8520

"Users with larger fingers might have some problem. However, we were able to find our groove after a while and could easily type messages."

"The QWERTY keypad that sits below it offers excellent usability. It's not the largest keyboard we've seen, but it's easy to adjust to and the keys are responsive and firmly attached."

"Picture quality was pretty good. Images were clear and colors, while not the most vibrant, didn't have a weird orange or grayish tone like some other camera phones."
