@TheMinetwentyseven It is a good phone for an entry into blackberry. There are better blackberrys out on the market but if you are limited or want t very good priced one...this is a great place to start. You can get used to BB software and operation and later, if you like it, you can upgrade. However, if you have endless amounts of money, Yes, get a 9900 but it will be very pricey.
@TheMinetwentyseven Well, there are lots of models of blackberry. Your best bet is to get a CURVE....Should be a great price. There are a lot of CURVES. The bad for the 8520 is screen res. and not 3g - BUT - The edge network was fine for my use on facebook, browsing the web and all my e-mails, etc. If you can start with the blackberry 9300 curve. You will get good screen res. and 3g for great price. Any BOLD will give you the best but CURVE is good and good $ to boot!
@ilovecocksism The more you research Blackberry and other phones, the more you wil find that minor differences in models will not affect your life as much as you think. Tell me what you will be using your phone for most. Social networking...browsing the internet...e-mails and text...photos and video...mms....work....play....put the following in order of inportance and I can tell you the right blackberry to have. :-)
@musestalker97 i beg to differ. I used it for 2 years before getting my 9900 and I liked it. In fact, I gave it to my grandfather and he uses it daily....GREAT PHONE and I got it really cheap 2 years ago!!
People lissen: This blackberry have map not gps, its almost the same but yeah, Blackberry messenger is free over wifi, if you want to go online outside use a abbonement *dutch word* The phone have a camera for Photo's and Video's *who you can set on youtube using a usb thing, if u want to know more ask me.
Ok so i need an Straight answer since , i will be getting into the BB World , And Yes i m getting into it coz most of my friends are ALL OVER blackberry and i want to c what all the fuss is about , and i actually thought this will be a good entrance , so should i buy this or is it crapp?? , i ussually use my phones for texting , playing games while i wait for my girlfriend to get dressed --' , listening to music ( i will quit doing this since it ussually half my Battery life) . Internet etc
@T1993J Don't take my words, but i used my cousin's Blackberry for about 2 days and totally loved it. What makes it so epic is the keyboard and all the messaging apps (BBM, Skype, Facebook, MSN, Yahoo, AOL, etc...) Texting with a touch screen isn't that good, i was impressed by how fast i was texting with the Blackberry O.o So i decided to get one (And I'm getting one today) Do more researches on Google and Youtube :)
@theHDhowto Thank You mate , I will be getting mine next Month, SO when u get yours can you give a detail explanation on the performance from yout point of View of the phone , just so i get more informed ^^ , i also want to check if the phone can play Youtube Videos, And Thankx again for yout answer ^^
@T1993J Love it! You can play Youtube videos as well, but the quality's 240p, So that's kind of a downgrade. The battery is absolutely amazing, Everything's great to be honest. I know this isn't detailed but i'm really busy, if this didn't help, just check Youtube :)
@T1993J get an iPhone! blackberrys seriously aren't in anymore, hence the very low sales figures and declining stock price...besides you get used to tying on any phone as fast as the blackberry...in the end its just a phone with a big keyboard, nothing special...
@LinenRose i know it kinda annoys me that blackberries are all you see now, though i can't really talk - my sister got a slightly battered but hardly used blackberry 8520 from her work and i have it now. they're good phones and i like them, i just want one without being the same as everyone else i know =L
Got the 9300 Blackberry phone last week and it is very nice.. certainly better than the cheap, non-working i-Phone of mine.. Or even the blackberry bold wasn't as nice as this.
@FrenchFries891 Yeah. For some reason mine just stopped working and the T-mobile workers I talked to said I must've done something to it (when really I hadn't). They wouldn't fix it or anything.. wierd huh.. but that was just my opinion about the 9300. Everyone's opinion is different and I completely respect everybody's opinions. :)
@hundrednaire it may well be the cheapest blackberry but that does not mean is "a cheap piece of crap" compared to other phones at the same price it is probably the best phone in that price range.
My friends getting a htc wildfire s and a blackberry if I'm getting one so do u think I should get this all my friends have it most got it this week and last week
i had the opportunity to buy this phone, but i decided to buy a nokia E72 white. i think it's more prettier then the blackberry. :3 what do you guys think ? x
I traded mytouch 3G for the phone :( the reason was I already have 3 androids phone and I wanted to change it up a little but I actually like this phone cuz anytime I don't have service the wifi turns it into a service so I can text my gf even more :) incase anyone wants to buy it tho reply me & we will talk business :D
can someone please help?! :(( i have a problem with my Blackberry 8520. for some reason, it randomly get ALT locked and i cant type anything with normal letters, everything comes with numbers and the symbols and obviously i cant use the general back or select buttons cus everything works with ALT. how to cancel the ALT lock? it cancels only if i turn it off and take out its battery buts its quite annoying and doesnt always work
I had the misfortune of having this total piece of shat as an upgrade. Ended up selling it to mazuma and getting a cheapy handset which is still working today! It supposedly has wifi although it never seemed to work on mine, the e and a buttons stopped working, the battery life was appalling. These blackberrys are meant to be awesome but I wasn't impressed with this one at all.
