Research in Motion today unveiled a new and affordable version of their Blackberry Curve series. Though RIM execs could not give an estimated price (as the telcos will be the one making the final price), they say that the Blackberry Curve 8520 is their most affordable one ever.
The Curve 8520 resembles the look and feel of a smaller Nokia E63.
Specs include:
2.64 inches display screen @ 320×240 pixels
256MB Flash memory
up to 32GB on microSD
512MHz CPU
Full QWERTY
Bluetooth 2.0
GPRS/EDGE
2MP camera with video recording
Wi-Fi 802.11b/g
Li-Ion 1150 mAh battery
The Curve 8520 is also looking to be a multimedia phone as it has a dedicated media keys on top, a 3.5mm stereo headset jack and can sync with iTunes or Windows Media Player via Blackberry Media Sync.
Pictured above is the Blackberry Curve 8520 beside a Nokia E71 — the Curve is shorter but thicker than the E71. And while the keys are smaller on the Curve, they are raised higher and more spaced apart.
The handset should be available thru Globe and Smart soon.
Update: Sells for Php19,900 at Ebuystore.com.ph. Thanks to ctoy.
i got my blackberry 8900 curve yesterday, it cost 350euro.
well williams is correct, watch your word joyce… are you not a pinoy? in your words it seems you are trying hard to become a sosyal because you are planning to save money… for mobile.
luckly i have BB 8520 curve. my mom gave it as a gift for my graduation. its nice and cute =) but my problem is the camera. it’s not good if it’s dark. there is no flash and even with the help of night set up it is not still a could camera catch. but over all it is a good cellphone.

hi this is now P15,800 for globe prepaid.. i wonder how much this is if by smart. does anyone know?
@graciaa. where did you get the globe price?
@gracia. where did you get the globe price?
I saw the BB Curve at globe P15800 but I also saw it in the newspaper for around P13000-14000 with smart.
I know someone that get her Blackberry 8520 for just P15,000 in a globe store (Prepaid), the P800 is actually an extra charge for a 1 month service (not sure what it is). You may request not to include the 1 month service, just ask them what the service is all about and decide whether you need it or not.
I will be getting a BB Curve 8520 from Globe. The unit comes free with Plan 2500. You just need to shell out the first one-month subscription. And beside, to enjoy the email and IMs, there is a Php800/month subscription, on top of the Plan subscription. I guess it is worthwhile subscribing to the Personal BB Plan, so as to maximize the Blackberry RIM network and super-fast IM capability. If you are not satisfied with the camera function – this is what I can say – BB phones are not meant of high-quality/digital photos. If you want high-quality/digital photos, use the Nikon or Canon DSLR. Remember, Blackberry phones are meant for business and not necessary for leisure.
SAMSUNG is sooooo suckish.

on how to use your bb, kindly read all the materials in the box when you got your bb. alot of information in there that will help you in maximizing your bb.
for the data plan for the bb for the globe users, if you are a prepaid user, you can only avail the bb data plan for 50PhP/day, 220PhP/5 days, 1200PhP/30 days but unlimited only to the BB ATN (BB apps only) and not to its webrowser (that includes youtube, downloading of images from sites). This holds true to postpaid users who have do not have a bb add on plans. there is more offers from globe to all postpaid users only. you can avail the unlimited usage for both BB ATN and that of the webrowser by using the following:
BB MAX 300 and send it to 8888 that is for 5 days
BB MAX ON and sent it to 8888 that is for 30 days
regarding to battery use, yes it only last for a day if you are always tinkering with it, not closing an application (you have to close it, not just jumping from one application to another) and not turning off your wifi and bluetooth.
just for info: when you are using BB, you are always in KB and not in TIME even you register to TIME. thus, if you are trying to cut down add on charges for your plans, you can switch off the data sending by clicking, home screen>manage connections>mobile network options>data service then click off. in this way, you can still receive and send sms and calls. then you can turn it on again if you want to browse the net thru BB ATN and its browser if you have registered to BB add ons, may it be daily or monthly.
i hope i am of help.
