BlackBerry Curve

BlackBerry Curve is an entry-level smartphone manufactured by Research In Motion. It appeared first on the market in 2007 and is still in production today. The Curve 8520 is also the first BlackBerry to have a trackpad.


The BlackBerry Curve 8500 is a series of BlackBerry smartphones in the mid-range developed by Research In Motion. Announced in July 2009 and released the next August, the 8500 has continued the "consumer-driven" philosophy of the BlackBerry Pearl and 8300, including multimedia features and an integrated 2 megapixel camera. BlackBerry terminal was the first to have a touch screen and dedicated keys.


When you are in development, it was considered part of the 9000 series, however, it was revealed to the series 8900 due to the lack of 3G. Unlike the BlackBerry Tour, which is an EV-DO device with A-GPS, a quad-band GSM / EDGE phone. The device is an upgrade over the old 8300 model, the most significant differences compared to the 8300 model is the 3.2 megapixel camera with video camera, a micro USB port, WiFi and the system operation which has been improved with more modern design. The first release was in February 2009 on T-Mobile, but was released on AT & T as well. This phone is known as the Blackberry Javelin Asia
