Curve8520 300x251 RIMs New Curve 8520 Has Nine Unique BlackBerry Features

By @ASacco:

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 hit U.S. shelves earlier this week, and though it certainly won’t send hard-core CrackBerry addicts rushing to T-Mobile stores to scoop one up–it’s an entry-level device, meant for new smartphone users–the handheld actually has more “new” BlackBerry features and hardware tweaks than any other device Research In Motion (RIM) has released in a year.

I attended RIM’s Curve 8520 launch event on Tuesday in Manhattan, and I’ve been using the device constantly since then. Here’s my list of nine Curve 8520 features you won’t find on any other current BlackBerry device–though some will no doubt make their way to upcoming BlackBerrys.

Overview of the 9 unique features:

  1. BlackBerry “Trackpad”
  2. BlackBerry Curve 8520 Dedicated Media Keys
  3. Display, Navigation/Call Buttons All One Surface
  4. Curve 8520 A/* Key Gets Lock Icon
  5. Integrated Volume/Convenience Keys on Curve 8520
  6. BlackBerry Curve 8520’s Itty-Bitty LED
  7. BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gets “Curve Logo”
  8. No Latch on BlackBerry Curve 8520 Battery Door
  9. Curve 8520’s 2.0 -Megapixel Camera Has No Flash

    Hi,
    Anyone out there any advice for me please/
    I have a Pearl 8100 and wil have to send back because of problems with the usb connection port on the side. This means I cannot back up the data using the existing case. Is there any other way of being able to do this at all?
    Many Thanks
