How will you rate the BlackBerry Curve 8520?

Well a bit off topic comment but I think you should have chosen a android instead of a blackberry .... Coz I think android is the best mobile OS currently.... I recently purchase a android smartphone and I am more than satisfied with the overall performance and the usability.... Even blackberry OS is good but the smartphone market is now turning to Android... And yes even an android is not of much use without and internet connection.....!!!!

All smartphones are pretty much useless if you don't have a data plan. All the functions that make it a "smart" phone are not really available to you, so I would have just gone with a regular phone. (since you are probably paying too much for your plan when you don't have those features) I like the curve more than the bold, even though the bold is SUPPOSED to be better. I have a bold and let me tell you it is TERRIBLE, by far the slowest blackberry in existence. So unreliable, it freezes constantly and you have to take the battery out to reset it. Then sometimes it randomly resets itself. The browser is terrible worse than any other blackberry, text on pages is too small.. If you zoom in you have to scroll side to side as well as up and down to read anything. The curve isn't like this, so stick to the curve.

I have not use any Blackberry phones yet though.I would prefer an Android device because it is the best mobile OS out there.Also the number of handsets are also very good that available in the market.i am using an Iphone and a Nokia N8 and i am very happy with them and don't think of buying any new ones yet.
