subject: Blackberry 8520, A New Legend Phone [print this page] Blackberry 8520 weighs 106g and is noticeably slimmer and minor than prior Curve models. It's shorter and lighter and about 2mm fewer broad than the iPhone 3G. Were pleased to see a move away from the giant smartphone trend and a focus on necessary ring and content admission functions. It trial 4.29 x 0.55 inches, which makes it vaguely thicker than the Blackberry 9500 but weights about the same (3.74 oz.). The Blackberry 8520 is the first BlackBerry Copy we've seen to use an optical follow pad close instead of a trackball. The Curves monitor-over-QWERTY-piano form factor has become cute degree for block smartphones. Unlike before BlackBerrys, the Blackberry 9500 edges are ringed with rubber to ensure a better grip. Keys on the left section of the piano slope faintly up to the right, and keys on the right slope vaguely up to the left, to make it easier to forestall patter adjacent keys. On the iciness-cerulean part we reviewed, the alphanumeric icons were tiring to make out in sincere light. And, as routine, the small number keys, all the keys are nearly tiny; actually make it hard to through dial. The buttons are slightly minor and packed close together, so users with bigger fingers might have some trouble. However, we were able to find our furrow after a while and could certainly type post. The number keys assign hole with lettering on the left edge, still they're not as calm to blackhead at a glance since the charcoal lifeless buttons don't post out against the black piano whereas the 8900 highlighted them in colorless.
Here we pioneer our new Blackberry Copy: Blackberry 8520 and Blackberry 9500. The partition of the BlackBerry 8520 is finicky and tidy, with a QVGA resolution of 320 by 240 pixels. While obviously not as abrupt, similes and wording aren't as glib and show some pixilation, the select still earn and upbeat. Users can adjust the divider's brightness and backlight time as well as the theme, font mass, and more through the Settings menu.
The media player affair of Blackberry 9500 is to use, but not overly deceptive with skin. It ropes folders, and will rank your song by Artist, Album and Genres. It also supports tape art and playlists, which the client can initiate on the go and the other options, are Repeat and Shuffle. Audio formats supported are MP3, AMR-NB, AAC/AAC+/eAAC+, WMA and WAV, while the record formats are MPEG4, H.263 and WMV. As you would imagine videos look wonderful on the high resolution monitor. The included stereo headphones are appealing scanty, but the 3.5mm jack means you can use any headphones you want. With our elevated condition headphones song sounded very good. It runs on a 512MHz notebook with 128MB RAM and 256MB ROM, which leads to exceptionally slick performance. There is not much in language of software beyond what we have come to imagine from Blackberry plans. The most notable of which is the DataViz Documents to Go container, and of course Brick Breaker. Since there is no GPS, there is no Blackberry Maps. Keep in mind that by the retail launch this may change, and we demand shipper customizations.
