Red is a bold colour. It makes a bold statement. If you wear the colour red it announces to the world ‘I am here and I am ready!’. If you want to make a bold, confident impression with your mobile phone then what could be better than a BlackBerry, the phone of businessmen and in red, the colour of dominance! Of course, this colour variant is actually more likely to be aimed at the domestic market, either way, it looks good!
When BlackBerry phones were first released onto the UK market they were mainly used by business people who wanted to keep up with their emails on the go. These days a large amount of the mobile phone using population of the UK have BlackBerry’s and as the company has grown the Blackberry’s technology has grown to accommodate the new users. One of the most important features of Smart Phones today is their ability to access social networking. The BlackBerry is expert at this and lets you connect to the internet via Wi-Fi (if it is available). You can access social sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and Tumblr directly from their websites (the mobile versions) or via applications or apps as they are otherwise known.
Apps are basically shortcuts for information. You can get apps that tell you the train times and cinema listings, and apps that help you count calories and plan your exercise routine. To get these apps that are specially tailored to the BlackBerry you need to access BlackBerry World from your BlackBerry. BlackBerry world is a centre unique for BlackBerry users that has a store of apps downloadable to the phone. We love this feature and are always checking for new apps. Another feature of the BlackBerry Curve 8520 is the inbuilt GPS system known as BlackBerry Maps. Similar to a sat nav device, these maps give you instructions on where to go from your current destination, step by step. Now on to some of the technical aspects of the BlackBerry Curve 8520. The talk time is 4.5 hours which is about average for a smart phone of the BlackBerry Curve 8520’s quality. The standby time is 17 days which is also about average for this kind of phone. The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is a good phone and the technology is secure and well made but there is no escaping the fact that now there are better phones on the market it is about average at this moment in time. However if you are looking for a cheaper smartphone in a range of great colours then why not check this phone out? It does everything a BlackBerry should, it just doesn’t have some of the snazzier updates. We would recommend this phone having had past positive experience of it. One of our favourite features about it was the flawless messaging via BBM text and email, quick as a flash and never delayed.
