Specswise the BlackBerry Curve 8520 fares decently with the missing 3G connectivity being the only major letdown.
The QWERTY-enabled 8520 packs a 65K-color landscape QVGA TFT display. It has quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support as well as Wi-Fi connectivity. A 2 megapixel snapper, Bluetooth and USB complete the list of noteworthy features.
As we already wrote the handset will be available through T-Mobile, starting from August 5. Vodafone UK should also be getting it soon. Unfortunately there is still no information regarding its pricing or its eventual availability with other carriers.
