You seem to be the BB Curve expert, so I hope you can help me. My 8520 is still running on the BlackBerry OS 4.6 version when I got it from my carrier last June. I can't afford to activate my BIS on top of my monthly subscription, but I'd love to upgrade to BB OS 5.

Another thing, my curve keeps going on SOS and always loses network connection (I subscribe to Smart here in Manila, Philippines). I was hoping that software upgrade can fix the problem. Would you have any suggestions?

Some specific sites perhaps aside from crackberry? Thanks amigo.

Anonymous, 15 Nov 2010can anybody plzz suggest me on hws the camera of bbcurve 8520?? its urgent..plzz..m curently u... moreBoth are just 2MP cameras, but the Nokia E63 has LED flash while the Curve 8520 doesn't. The picture quality (under sunlight) of the Curve is however better than the E63.
If I were you, I'd stay with the E63. It's got more perks than the curve. You can get push email for free, IM and maps all over wifi (meaning for free), as opposed to the BB, you'd have to subscribe to BIS. BBs are only for those who can afford. If you're on the budget side of things, the Nokia E63 is the way to go. Should you want to upgrade your camera, get an E71 (3.2 autofocus w LED flash) or an E72 (5MP autofocus). It gives you what your E63 is giving you now, plus the camera you want.

On the BB side of things, if you really want one, the Bold 9700 has a better camera (3.2 MP with LED flash) but is costs twice as much as the Curve. Go figure...

Plus, BIS is part of a BlackBerry Plan in most places, so it's just like payong for a regular Data Plan. And Android's push doesnt' always work unless you use a Gmail Account. I use Yahoo and 2 Live.com email addresses and I've read that Android doen't always play well with those email accounts.

after using e72 i came 2 know abt the smoothness of blacberry's trackpad..e72 's trackpad is not as good as bb one..although even not comparable also..we should only compromise wid 3g in curve 8520..nd e71 is in no race with bb smartphones..so i advice all guys 2 go through bb..after all its bb..nthing to say...den depends..nd 1 thing also bb's os is userfriendly nd dat of symbanian huuu...quite tough...den depends...

Sushi, 12 Nov 2010I wanted a business phone and a non-touch screen phone that can do just about everything today... moreYour review and insightful elucidation in relation to the BB 8520 deserves a two thumbs up! I was planning to get one for Christmas though I happened to own a Nokia E52 and a Nokia C3....Then I realized upon reading that getting rid of my budget phone Nokia C3 was not such a good idea after all. A Million Thanks!
