;DETLIKE; BlackBerry 8520 Curve Gemini - why we like it
  • Our most affordable BlackBerry
  • Compact and stylish - great for professional emailing and social networking alike
  • Full QWERTY keyboard for quick and comfortable typing
  • Business connectivity, features and functions
;DETOVER;

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 Gemini is your golden ticket into the BlackBerry family. Our most affordable BlackBerry mobile, it offers all the famous emailing and messaging features you expect from a RIM device, at a highly competitive price point.

The 8520 Gemini is sleek and stylish and fits neatly in your hand or pocket. Of course, you get the benefit of BlackBerry’s amazing signature full QWERTY keyboard, and this makes typing emails and messages quick, easy and comfortable.

One of the strengths of the Curve 8520 is the simplicity of its interface - so in no time at all you’ll become a BlackBerry pro and be able to use it for all your daily tasks. And with email setup an absolute breeze, these tasks won’t take long at all. You just enter your email and password for either work or play and you’re away! You can add up to ten email accounts to cater for even the busiest lifestyle needs.

But the BlackBerry 8520 isn’t just about email. Texts, MMS, instant messaging and social networking sites are supported on the handset - allowing you to keep in contact with anyone, anytime, anywhere. You can also get snap happy on the built-in 2 megapixel camera and directly upload your pics to photo sharing applications like Flickr or Facebook.

BlackBerry Messenger is a particularly attractive feature - and allows you to keep in touch with BlackBerry users across the globe, for free, with advanced instant messaging functionality.

The optical trackpad offers smooth and fast navigation,letting you scroll through menus by gliding your finger over it and select items with a press and click action, just like on a laptop. The trackpad navigation interface really is a cool feature that makes navigating around the phone and the web pure bliss.

We also love the set of dedicated media keys atop the new BlackBerry Curve 8520 - which put you in direct control of your listening experience. Add to that WiFi support for an enhanced broadband experience and the Blackberry Curve 8520 Gemini is an impressive and classy gadget at a surprisingly affordable price.
