Blackberry Violet 8520 Review

The BlackBerry Violet 8520 is a smartphone from the Curve series. With this handset you not only get a powerful business tool, but you can also make a fashion statement with the vibrant new colors offered with the 8520.

The design of this phone is very much the same as with most BlackBerry smartphones with many of the features that people have come to enjoy with the mobile phones released by this company. You get a full QWERTY keypad so that you can quickly and easily send text messages and email.

Cosmetically, the BlackBerry 8520 violet is stunning, you get a 2.64-inch display for viewing pictures and more. Although the 8520 BlackBerry may not be the most compact phone to take along with you, it is still fairly small, measuring 6 cm X 10.9 cm X 1.39 cm and weighs 106g.

The multimedia features of the BlackBerry Violet 8520 include a 2-megapixel camera that can also record video in VGA resolution. Although the main focus of this mobile phone is its business features, it does come with some entertainment features as well such as a music and video player that supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, WMA, and ASF audio formats, and MP4, H.263, H.264, and WMV video files.

You will also get several options for ringtones with the violet Blackberry 8520 Curve, you can use MP3 files for your ringtones as well as polyphonic. There are also some preloaded games included with this smartphone, with the option of downloading more.

Of course the BlackBerry 8520 Violet comes with some business features for the professional such as a document viewer, in addition you can secure all of your data by way of password protection. Some of the applications that are included with this handset make it easy to keep informed of all the latest news, plus you get several instant messaging options such as ICQ, Windows Live Talk, and Yahoo Messenger, plus several more. There is no doubt that this is an all around communications gadget, and business tool.

This phone has a great deal to offer the user, and although the camera isn’t the best available, it is probably sufficient for most business users. All of the other features that come with this BlackBerry more than make up for the lack of a quality camera, especially if taking pictures and video aren’t your primary concern.

Before you buy a BlackBerry 8520 Violet you’ll want to check all of the available promotions to ensure that you are getting the best deal possible.
