    I am a Nokia Fan, but after breaking my Nokia N series Phone, I am now considering this BB Phone as it seems to be damn cheap with regards to the price.

    What about the performance of this phone??

    Do you think it would do well or should I just go ahead and stick with some Nokia E series budget phone, for example E 63. At the moment budget is an important factor for me especially during this recession period. Have loads to do in life and money coming in is not so sufficient.

    All I would do with the phone apart from the basic stuff of calls and sms is I am keen on using it for checking my mails using the wifi feature and maybe instant messenger once again using the wifi option and listening to mp3's that I store/ transfer on to the mem card and maybe once in a while streaming music from the internet thru wifi.

    Do you think this BB phone can do a good job.

    Genuine users of this phone only please reply.

    I would like to confess that I do not know anything much about B Berry apart from hearing about business people using this phone.

    Hope no one would misguide me.

    Thank you.

    In case you need any info about Nokia, please let me know. I may be of some help.

    Thank you once again.

    Have a great day.

    Cheers!!

        iof your in two minds between this and the bold choose 8900 curve, this hand set though great and does all tht blackberry should dosnt contain many of the things that made the curve great its a budget BB at the end of the day and will seel well to people who are not fussed what BB they got though if you like ur music this BB will rock your world with space for plenty of music and all the BB features. the new one has a dumbed down screen, dumbed down look, and no 3g but does have 3g......at the end of the day its your choice but the original curve is far better as well as the original bold, though will all the handset being modernised what else will come foprm BB????

                      WHO IS WRONG? GSMARENA or the Blackberry Website?

                      GSMARENA is saying that BB 8520 got GPS and the BB website is saying that it doesnt, who is right and who is wrong?

                                        What blakcberry is doing;
                                        It has already tapped into the high end market. Now what it is trying to do is to capture the middle end and lower end markets. With Data rates going down it's becoming more affordable for users to buy these products with app add's.

                                        Thats the reason you see blackberry pearl, 8220 flip and 8520 coming up
