BlackBerry phones always come in one color, and that’s black. BlackBerry Curve 8520 fans will surely love the news that the affordable handset will now come in 2 more colors — ruby red and white.

Moving from the usual black to red and white is practically a minor thing but for RIM, I think it’s a realization that their phone users are shifting demographics.

You should be able to get the BB Curve 8520 with the new colors starting May 8 at any Globe Business Centers for the same affordable price. You need to get it with the BlackBerry service to enjoy the full capabilities of the handset. Read our previous review of the Curve 8520 here.

I Like The White And Red Wat 1 Shell I get

bibeberry · 15 years ago

bought mine in white in Globe Glorietta last July 17 2010. i checked Globe Greenbelt first pero wala daw silang white so i tried Glorietta. at that time the red one was exclusively for HSBC cardholders. since our card was BDO, i opted for a white instead. i dont like black bb’s cos i like to be a lil different ;)

i wanted the bold but it was 27k at the time in Globe and owning a bb is expensive because of the data plan needed for the official apps and emails to work so i’m glad the curve was just at 14k then. now in 2011 there’s curve 3g so 8520 is down to as little as 11k na lang. but i still love my phone. curve 3g is not worth the update. i will wait for the torch 2 or the bold touch! coming this year! :)
