No 3G
Date: February 19, 2010
This phone has NO 3G making it useless around where I live and work, as you can only get phone signal with 3G.
Other than that, brilliant phone. Have upgraded again to a Bold 2 just to get the 3G

Best phone i've owned - My first Berry
Date: January 18, 2010
I have had this phone since November now and i still cant put it down! I (like some of the others) was a little worried about the size of the keys but it doesnt take long to get used too, still quicker at texting than normal phones, and never had problems with them sticking like someone else said, i'm guessing that persons was faulty. The only thing that i could fault it for is not having a flash... but that doesnt bother me, i have a digital camera for that! Millions of applications to download from app world, and so many cool accessories are available to buy for it. As for the WiFi... i have mine hooked up to my broadband and have had no problems what so ever with the setting up or speed - WiFi speed has nothing to do with the phone... its the broadband/internet provider. I have had alot of phones, normally go through about 2 a year as i get bored easily, but not this time! and when i do get my next one it will defo be a Berry!

Fantastic phone. This is my first blackberry and I can see why people who use them love them - I've not been able to stop playing with it since I got it. It was really easy to set up straight from the box: connected to the wifi without any hassle. The push email is fantastic and even though the keyboard is small is it a lot faster than texting on a normal phone. Internet isn't that fast, but then I'm not really into browsing on my phone anyway. Lots of features, 2gb micro sd in the box, headset etc. all add value - definitely recommended!

HermyAM
First and last BlackBerry
Date: December 24, 2009
I've just upgraded to this phone, but I won't be keeping it. I've battled with the setup, making my family's life a misery, and still can't get it to connect to my home wi-fi, or set it up for emails as the options listed in the manual don't appear on the device. As text and email are somehow linked, I'm limited to voice calls only.
I'm disappointed because the design is attractive and I had very much looked forward to its arrival, but if the setup is indicative of overall ease of use this is definitely not the phone for me.

Blackberry, best ever
Date: December 6, 2009
i recently upgraded and got this phone, i have had touchscreen phone in the past and thought the tiny buttons on a blackberry would be to hard, but its easy to get used to.
i love this phone, its easy to use, looks cool and is perfect for me, however there are little things that i would change, when looking through my pictures you either have to return all picture or use the menu to change to the next photo, it would be easier to move the square?
apart from that everything is great, and you can customize the main menu, which is great,
LOVE IT

Best phone I've had
Date: November 29, 2009
I upgraded my old phone about a month ago. At first I thought that this phone would not meet expectations but I was wrong. Once I set it up with email and facebook and installed a couple of aps I can't put it down. Don't know how I lived without it before now. I love this phone and would recommned it to everyone. I love the trackpad as opposed to the trackball. Great phone.

Buy the new Bold
Date: November 14, 2009
My wife got one of these as I have a Bold and the touch pad is superior design to the trackball...I'm on my second Bold cos of the trackball failing. Apparently the new Bold has touch pad. As other reviewers said Wi-fi is slowww and even just gives up and freezes up so its now disabled. The internet via service provider is slower than my Bold but it does get there although we are on different service providers... just make sure you are on a no limit tariff if you use it a lot. All the other advantages of a Blackberry though. Pay the extra shekels and get the new Bold especially if you use the internet a lot.

Don't Bother
Date: October 25, 2009
I got this phone last week and wish I hadn't! The qwerty keys stick and the function keys next to the trackpad need pressing a few times to work! The asthetics are poor and the wifi connection is very slow!
I am going to try return this phone to the shop tomorrow I hate it that much!

easy to use 8520
Date: October 25, 2009
if you use your blackberry to surf the net dont get this one as it lacks 3g.If you use it as a phone and want to get instant access to your e mails it is great. The wifi connection comes in handy for home browsing or hot spot browsing,but the gprs connection when out and about is a little slow.
there is no gps but for me this is no problem as i dont need it on a phone.
An easy to use and useful tool.battery life is excellent and for occasional browsing good if a little slow.
E mail is lighting fast.
