[rebecca39171]

[1Mariamimar]

does it works in georgia? has it GSM network? please lell

[rederit305]

how much do u think they cost now?

[AngeLEyes8100]

I want to get this to try out having a blackberry. I heard it has no sim card, what does that do and does it need one? or a memory card is enough? thanks

[Perez2395]

My first blackberry, was so happy when bought it.. :p

[bubblekpop13]

I also have the same phone. Does it have any sim slot?

[mdees1593]

when you take a picture,does it turn out good?

[xkilagramx]

Get this for Boost Mobile and if you don't like the phone get

a flashed htc evo or touch pro 2

works pefect on Boost and very fast

[Avatarblackwolf]

I have this 8530 from Boost Mobile & they are owned by Sprint. Mine runs on Sprint's CDMA network. Fast 3G web,text & email is fast, youtube with no problem. WiFi is great.$60 a month unlimited talk,text,web,email 411 & IM.

Verizon is overrated & overpriced.

i want to get this phone i like it does it have a micro sd slot

[nanozero16]

Do you have wi-fi on it wherever you go?

[Thanatos420]

Also for Boost Mobile as well. I got mine on Boost with unlimited everything and much like Sony's PS3, it...only does everything...well, minus the flash on the camera. But that's a minor setback if you ask me for all the other neat awesome things this phone can do, especially on Boost's unlimited plan for only 60 bucks a month. Unlimited email, talk, text, internet, messenger, etc. This is def. a great phone for a tech-geek looking for a non-touch phone that does...pretty much, everything.

[jwemt81]

I have this same phone on Verizon. I love it. It runs flawlessly.

[hgo555]

one of those keys.. can you set those to lock the keyboard?

[MasterHak]

nice phone...i am looking for a smartphone without touch screen and you just helped me...thank you xGamerGuy ;-)

[MusicRoxIn08]

its also for CriKet

[madeinheavenx]

@MusicRoxIn08 Cricket* and yup. I just got mine today.

[mw2player1995]

the black one is way better thn the red one

[MrRAJUNCAJUN24]

should i get the red or black please reply

[mcheap2]

@MrRAJUNCAJUN24 black! blackberry's always look good in black

[dsword357]

WAT A PHONE!WOW

[bluesalinas]

Can you tether off this phone (the sprint version)? and could you do a tutorial if possible?

[itzkrystal]

is the camera any good or is it craap?

i'm trying to decide between the samsung moment, and this. i'm leaning toward this.

[actionsports111]

I'm finally moving out of the dark ages and picking one of these up next week (yeah my first "smartphone"). Nice vid!

[nawfside56]

Do i need a sprint data plan for this phone?

[SOLEskaterBRANDON]

@nawfside56 yes. most smartphones kinda revolve around their internat/ data capabilities so its worth it... get the cheapest one and just conserve... only use internet when u need it and when at home use wifi or ur computer...

[IvanGB24]

I have a 8350ivfor sprint and i love it but the internet sucks without wifi, and i was wondering how is the browser without wifi? is it still fast or slow?

[opiate9]

You sound like you're in love. I just got one yesterday...I'm about to throw it out the fucking window. Nothing on here seems to work the way it should work.

[DrJoseph09]

can you save pictures from the internet to your phone?

[0reggie9]

@DrJoseph09 i hope! my phone wont let me. im getting this next month

[kmhockeykm]

go sprint!!!

[Emelyx3]

so is the internet free if you have wifi? Does the camera have flash btw. I was just wondering. My mom wants my phone so im getting a new one and its between the curve nd the blackberry bold.? im still deciding.

[SpajkiNajki]

Does preinstalled browser on this supports youtube playback? I heard some opinions that it doesn't. Maybe you can recommend different one? Is there any different browser for BlackBerry 8520?

[policemofo]

can i use my homes wifi to browse with this phone?

[xGamerGuy]

@policemofo Yes, you can use any WIFI spot

[xxcharmed1xx]

Verizon is shitty, they are not very reliable when it comes to service (personal experience) im switching to sprint in a couple of wks. and am gonna get this phone!

[cooldude12345657]

how does it feel in hand? is it lighter than the 8900/8330 curves,

[xGamerGuy]

@cooldude12345657 Iy is very light compared to all the other blackberry models, almost a cheap light plastic feel

[xGamerGuy]

@MIMILOPUS Yes, ROM eluminators

[steezygreasybacon]

hey i wanna get that phone but i dont know if i should get sprint or verizon...is the sprint 3g wireless internet fast?? please reply

[xGamerGuy]

@steezygreasybacon Sprint internet is very fast, i couldent ask for better. It is also a lot cheaper than verizon

[steezygreasybacon]

@xGamerGuy awesome thanks dude

[0reggie9]

@steezygreasybacon its fast. i ahd the samsung instinct s30 and it was pretty good

[pookahit]

@steezygreasybacon the best is koodomobile becayse it has the cheapest plans for unlimited texts and 100minutes of phoning with 100mb of data is 35$ a month

[senorseis66]

@steezygreasybacon if your thinking of sprint, and want a cheaper phone you can get the same one from virgin mobile for only 25$ a month for unlimited messaging, internet, and 300 minutes.

[knulffilms]

so there's a button on the keypad to lock the phone? sorry if this has already been asked.

[tuyurri]

@knulffilms yup it is its on the Abutton

[tuyurri]

@knulffilms yup it is its on the Abutton

[stephaniejmf08]

question how and where does it have the tools icon like for instant to put the alarm etc..

[xGamerGuy]

@stephaniejmf08 press the menu button

[jeffmin25]

true i hate the ring on the tour it scraches so easy

[xpmoney11x]

great vid except i think it wasnt in focus cuz the fllor looked really clear

[xGamerGuy]

Yea haha you guesses it =) it is a new camera and i really dont know how to use it that well.

[YvesG04]

Texting is the Best on all the Blackberrys. Since the Keyboard isn't flat

[TheKRProductionz]

nice video im getting mines next month

[AlskaNoelle]

How is the texting? Is it hard to text? I'm a big texter, and my friend had a keyboard phone once that I had a hard time texting with.

[xGamerGuy]

@AlskaNoelle Not at all, Epically compared to the old one. It is shaped to fit your hand also buttons are slightly curved for your fingers... im a texter too =)

[tuyurri]

@AlskaNoelle texting is so easy on this fone i have it and its rlly easy all your texts also looks like IMs which is new for blackberry's

[rawrmadmonkey]

great review!...i have a question

can you browse the internet through wi-fi?

such as youtube and what not

[xGamerGuy]

@rawrmadmonkey Yes, and it is very fast with WIFI

[rawrmadmonkey]

thanks man...i ended up buying the phone...awesome decision!...lol

i love it

[EAJ1523]

nice review. i will be buying this phone next month.

[justmemit]

i was going to get this but i gotten the htc hero instead

[saychao22]

how is the battery life? do you think you would have to charge it every night for someone that averages 200-300 text a day and 30-60minutes of web surfing?

[xGamerGuy]

I do about the same and it doesent need to be charged every day, maybe every other. It has a great new kind of battery that the older curves dont have.

[igothoes88]

my battery only lasts 6hrs but i play music and surf the web almost all the time but battery life is the only con i have sprint too btw

[WynterKA]

Finally a good honest review!

Thank you!
