Here are more high-detail photos of the new entry-level Blackberry Curve 8520. This is the 3rd phone we received last week so I’m pacing them a little slower than usual. Photos after the jump.

The Blackberry Curve 8520 was launched last September 8 with RIM touting this handset as their most affordable so far (see complete specs here).

The catch though is that final price will still depend on the telcos that will carry the unit and how much they will charge with the subscription plan. We’ll soon know once they get this handset into the shelves. Full review of the Curve 8520 will follow.

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 has a very trendy look. It has all advanced features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 2-megapixel camera. People will be satisfied with excellent features like Quad-band world roaming, smart dialling,conference calling, speed dial, and text and multimedia messaging. Having this phone is an indication of high status.

It’s on my wish-list pare as my wife is using my old Blackberry and is thinking of getting either a Nokia E71 or E63, which I do find a little sexier. But for now, stick to my iPhone muna.

Cheers pare!

nice design, as with any other Blackberrys in the market – I’ll surely wait for the full review of this sir yuga; for me, features is more important than looks =D
