BlackBerry Curve 8520 - User Reviews

  • Unfortunately no

  • Back then data costed so much that it was almost a bad thing to have 3G, you could blow through an entire 50MB data package in 30 seconds by accidentally opening the web app. It had wifi to make up for the slow data connection and at least the 2G actually worked (unlike modern phones)

  • It was a Curve device, and it was released in '09. It was never the top dog back then, and definitely not now.

  • How about i dont use any apps, just calls and messages? How long will the battery life hold me ?

  • It's shocking me how a phone like this doesn't support 3G!

  • Well, that's surprising.

  • yes

  • I still proudly own and use one: I hate touchscreen smartphones and my old device is still working after 7 years.... fingers crossed

  • Do you have any other phone or is the BlackBerry Curve 8520 your only phone?

  • I still use one, sir.

  • Oh! I remember this phone! So many people had it back in the day! I'd be surprised if there is anyone who actually still uses this phone.

  • does this phone have 3g signals

  • No

  • My phone 8520 can't download even when I have data it keeps on diviating me to the inbuild browser

  • You can save all your contacts on your laptop/desktop if you have Blackberry Suite installed. Just open the app after you connect your BlackBerry devive to PC, wait for it to connect, select 'Backup' from Device tab, select the items you want to synchronize, in this case, Address Book, hit Backup, and you are done. You can copy all theses backed up contacts to any BlackBerry device after connecting that device and choosing Restore. I have more than 3000 contacts and it takes less than a minute to copy the contacts to my device. I have four of them, I don't know why the BB guys shifted to Android os, Imiss the BB os a lot, which is the most secure of all the mobile operating systems.

  • no

  • is this mobile duel sim??

  • Can some body tell me that contacts in black berry curve be saved in some other fone or google?

  • you can download whatsapp only if you throw that fone away now

  • WhatsApp ceased support for these versions of BlackBerry OS. You can't use WhatsApp, and they're going to cease support for BBOS 7 and BlackBerry 10 too. Basically the entire BlackBerry platform has no WhatsApp anymore.

  • Thanks a lot,,that's why my whatsApp is not available in my device

  • i am Really Sorry to Tell u about . That BB 8520 Can nt Upgrade Yet. this Device is Now Discontinued Yet From Research in Motion BB

  • Hi my phone lost bis I buy on 04\05\2016 nw my phone setup block my web like whatsapp,facebook etc so could I do to get my bis back.can u help me with my setup cz now I hv data bundle

  • Phone is very nine. I don't know how to copy contacts from phone book to sim card

  • U can restart it by : alt + right capslock + del.

  • I think that this device is very adapted to the businesses world because of functionnalities that we find in there. but what marked me really with this phone is its robustness. but the trouble i found there is its slowness to start when you've removed the battery and there's not a button to restart the device you should always remove and put the battery to do it.

  • and is your device dectecting the wi-fi signal? if yes, check if data service is enabled. because if this service is disabled, you won't be able to be connected to internet through either wi-fi or mobile network(4g, 3g,edge,...). so to do it, folow those steps: 1- enter into the main menu 2-look for "network management" that's the tool that allow to enable and set up all wireless networks supported by the device(wi-fi,mobile network,bluetooth) 3-in the displayed menu, select "mobile network option" 4-check if "data service" is enable if disabled, switch it "on" and try your connection again good luck!

  • beautiful and cool model

  • I use good phone

  • myown didnt av 2g were can i on it i dnt evi knw hw 2 on d 2g on my bb curve2

  • ok phone, 2g is too slow and the battery door feels like slop.

  • it happened to me when i am downgrade to os4 . All you need to do is : instal bb desktop software (on the bb8520 cd), then update to os 5. there is option to back up first. The good thing from bb even sms can be back up

  • Worst "smart"phone ever, no smart at all, bugging every day, battery is low every day, you cannot go to the internet or donwload apps, as they don't exist on the BB platform, which is compatible with nothing else; you cannot trust the clock (can bug at night and never ring)...every side button is broke, sometimes you don't receive full messages (you have "missing text" instead and it never comes back) for me that's pretty simple, this phone should have not been marketed...BB took its responsabilities, as a result it is a brand i will always avoid, hope you will do the same, this phone is just thievery, you'd better buy a non-smart phone at least basics fonctions will work...

  • Try removing the battery then replacing it. You should see a graph filling slowly, then when it is filled your phone will boot up normally again. Worked for me.

  • I'm surprised that changing your battery didn't work for you. I didn't change my battery but simply pulled it out then put it back in and the phone did like a factory reset automatically and it worked fine after that.

  • My experience with blackberry has been a horrible one. If I have to pinpoint all it's faults I would have a never ending list. A big problem for me is the lack of apps compared to android phones. As well as the low device memory. Don't buy this phone. Rather spend your money on buying some gourmet ice-cream because it will be more worth it.

  • Hello @amreeta-sonu, I'm sorry to hear about your problem. I believe that your device has a Wi-Fi defect. You can try backing up any important data and resetting the device. If that doesn't work, please contact RIM Blackberry Support or your carrier to get a replacement device or support from them. All the best, Jeff Hardy

(this appears to have been the case since loading WhatsApp but I cant be sure). I have tried 3 new SanDisk 2GB cards which all work elsewhere and phone says in Options, under Memory that "a media card is not presently inserted in the device". Can anyone help/advise pls. Thanks Nigel

  • my 8520 doesn't recognise any (have tried 3)of my SanDisk 2GB media cards. It says - 'media card not inserted in device'. There appears to be nothing wrong with the mc's elsewhere. Can anyone advise what to do? Thanks

  • Hie...I was using the same phone and have the same problem of wifi. The thing is that blackberry manufacturers have made it very much complicated that less techologically handy people may throw the phone on the hed of maker of bb os. If the phone is showing some pin which is to be entered in modem..then open the admin page of modem(most probably by typing 192.168.1.1 in browser and using admin for both user id and password). Over there search go wo wireless interference settings and type the password where ever u see pin is mentioned). After that wifi will be connected. If any how u r connected to wifi go to settings>advance options.browser and put otspot browser as default. Come in now u can use wifi flawlessly ;-)

  • One of the best sets iv ever used, Been a user of Nokia Symbian For quite a long time. but i must say this curve is Amazing does everything i required. Small Beast :)!!!\

  • For a phone that doesn't even have a basic feature (nowadays it's basic) such as a radio I think it is still too expensive for there are less expensive phones that have a little more features than the bb8520. And it freezes too much for my liking. That's just my opinion.

  • you need to download nobex radio from the blackberry app world after installing it before you use it be aware that it will be streaming the radio channels to you meaning data cost will apply

  • It's quite unfortunate that BlackBerry could even ship any phone without gps capability. That's quite disappointing.

  • Just download OperaMini 7.1 using BB browser/blackberry thru wifi- then you can surf the net in BB 8520 without plan on mobile data. Just pay the prepaid or buy load or register in promos.

  • This is because , the Blackberry 8520 is an old phone and has a higher risk of not being compatible with mordern apps. You must upgrade to another phone annouced in 2012 and 2013.

  • wIFI OR BUY special service from SIM Provider

  • 1. Find the icon that pictorial screwdriver / wrench named Option 2. Select Security Option 3. Choose a security wipe 4. Check "email, contacts, etc" to wipe standard. (If you want to remove applications which are not part of the BB you can check the "user instaled applications" to erases all applications except the official app from blackberry just as fb, twitter, yahoo, and the default application of the BB. Never menyentang "media card" because later existing data on the MMC could disappear without trace.) 5. Then type "blackberry" in the existing columns. 6. Convince yourself to pulled-click menu "wipe" 7. In the process ensued ... wait for the results ...

  • This phone is a complete no-no if you are heading for a top knotch smartphone. This phone is a way back in technology. Besides, if you can compromise with speed, connectivity and price, go for it. it's cheap and provides good battery backup. good for minimal use. Internet works fine but is very slow.

  • hi Jenn. to remove the old BBM user id. you need to reset the phone"security wipe" OPTIONS>SECURITY OPTIONS>SECURITY WIPE. i personally tried to change the user name. since i recently got this phone used. so i reset the phone. and was able to enter a new user id and password. good luck. or another way is to uninstall BBM WORLD. and RE-download it . that should remove the old user id as well. if you're trying to do it for the messenger. uninstall the messenger and then re download from the bbm world. but security wipe all contacts/messages/etc option. leave the user installed apps unchecked. so it doesnt erase them. will just clear the settings for them. but it's your choise. just write down your contacts ,if you do the wipe. hope i didnt confuse you.

Like the calender and alarm features and customiseable alerts.
