T-Mobile and Research In Motion have announced the BlackBerry Curve 8520, RIM's newest device in the company's line of BlackBerry capable consumer and corporate smartphones. The Curve 8520 features global band support, a QVGA resolution display, multimedia capabilities, and a traditional full-QWERTY form factor.
The 8520 features quad-band GSM (850/900/1800/1900MHz) support with EDGE data connectivity. It also includes WiFi technology for high-speed local data networks. Built on a speedy 512MHz processor, the Curve 8520 should snappily navigate through BlackBerry's attractive new operating system, which should likewise look nice on its 2.64-inch 65k color 320 x 240 TFT pixel display.
Users can send text and email messages to friends family and business colleagues as the device has support for an impressive number of email services, like Yahoo!, Windows Live, Gmail, and more, along with BlackBerry's secure and capable BlackBerry Enterprise Server support. A full-QWERTY keyboard and an innovative optical joystick "trackpad" will help send those messages off in a dash.
While a work powerhouse, the Curve 8520 also has consumer entertainment benefits, like a 2 megapixel camera with video recording capabilities. With a built-in media player, users can listen to music through wireless headphones since it supports Bluetooth v2.0 support with +EDR and A2DP, or they can plug in standard 3.5mm stereo headphones. They can store music and data in 256MB of on-board Flash memory or on a microSDHC memory card. And there will be plenty of time to stay entertained: RIM says the 8520's 1150mAh batter will supply 4.5 hours of talk time or 17 days standby.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 will be available in black and frost color schemes on August 5 for $129.99 with a two-year customer agreement and a qualifying data plan.
