Review Handphone BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini Curve

The new Curve has a price tag that’s easier on the wallet and – coming from a BlackBerry – that’s a welcome change of game plan already. But what makes this here Berry a shocker is… wait for it… music keys. Last time we checked features like that were teen geek stuff and we don’t know many teens are walking around with a BlackBerry in their pocket. Well, it’s certainly going to be interesting to see how BlackBerry’s attempt to woo this new demographic will turn out.

Kenapa Memilih Handphone BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini Curve?

Obviously it took a few sacrifices for the Curve 8520 to keep that price tag within limits. The magnificent screen was ruthlessly trimmed down to the run-of-the-mill QVGA resolution. On a second thought though, that only puts it on a par with the screens on the Nokia E71 and E72 and we don’t see anyone complaining about them.
