Recommended it?
Yes
The Bottom Line:
My final recommendation is a definite YES! Everything and anything anyone could want is on this little power house phone.
I'm so beyond ready for an awesome phone! Woo! What's that? The Rim Blackberry Curve 8520, that is sharp and oh my goodness that can't be the price....And internet? I got to get this phone. These are the words that came in my head when I was looking for a cell phone upgrade, and I'm so happy I bought it.
Cost/Availabilty: When purchasing my phone I found it to be reasonable for all the amzing features this phone has to offer. I only paid $100.00 after my mail-in rebate. And for how popular it is, I found this to be a great price! Virtually every phone store in America has a Blackberry to offer you so finding one that best suits your needs is simple.
Durability: The weight of the Blackberry Curve is not too heavy but when upgrading from a cheap piece of plastic to this sleek phone the weight will come as a shock but it is easily ignored by how awesome it is! I've dropped my phone more than once and I've had it since December, and guess what? It is still running just as great as the day I bought it. I call it the super fruit phone, because of its "Blackberry" fruit name and its strength to last. It may look sweet and sensitive but it can hold it's own. A very handy feature for those of us that have, let's say, "Butter Fingers". The battery life is also a plus with this phone. I use mine all day everyday and the battery is solid for days!
Picture Quality: Can you See Me? Of course I can! This phone has a beautiful camera in it. With a zoom in scroller that allows you to pick up on distant images and still make them look like you were standing right in front of it. No fuzzy, blocky, digital corks when this camera comes into focus. Videos are also a bonus to this little power house. Home videos usaully come out sketchy and the sounds unrecognizable. Yet when watching a video on your new Blackberry Curve you will think you are watching a live broadcast on tv! It is simply up to today;s wanted technology.
Color/Style: There are only a few colors to choose from for your new phone, black, red wine, and silver. But who needs all the colors of the rainbow? Keep it simple with one of these colors and allow the phone to speak for itself when the eyes of jealous friends look upon it they will be in awe and won't even notice the color at the end of the day. To me this phone is in a class of its own. Sleek, and shines like a new penny with a chrome edging that causes your jaw to drop in amazement! It also has a large screen and smaller keys in order for you to get the full view of pictures, videos, Facebook posts, and Tweets. Overall I can simply say this is a sexy phone!
Size: This wouldn't be called a "hand-held" if it doesn't fit in your hand. Ever notice those ridiculous clunky flip phones that are just obnoxious and large? Well problem solved! The Blackberry Curve fits perfect, like a glove to your hands. Also, when your done using your phone it easily fits in your jean pocket, purse or jacket pocket.This phone will fit in your lifestyle and fo anywhere you take it!
Added Bonus Features: Most people have their phones on vibrate so when a call or text comes in a corky ringtone doesn't interupt your class, meetings or what not. I will admit its easy to forget you got a text but this phone reminds you with a constant flashing red light at the top of the screen, just right to the speaker. It also does this for missed phone calls and updates on your "Social Network". Also, because your phone has open faced keys on it you are probably wondering how you don't constantly "butt-dial" friends or push other buttons. Well this phone has a key lock, by holding the "A" button until your screen turns black your phone will then be locked. To unlock it the company got smart and made a flat "mute" button on the top of the phone that will not easily get pressed while in a pocket. Allowing you the security and piece of mind that your phone won't "butt-dial" anyone and saving you embarrassment. And if your a advid music listener add your music to your phone, place your ear piece in the side of your phone and rock out! Plus you have to options for internet a $15 a month plan with limited internet or $25 a month for unlimited. Depending on your social networking life these two options are a bonus for you!
