Blackberry Rim 8520,
I gave it a four because when I first got it, it took me time to see and get used to the keys because they are kind-of small. If you want bigger buttons get 8330, my sister has one, wish I could switch with hers, but mine is newer and no tracking ball, which I really like to.. about this phone. Its sleek and easy to navigate..Before I had this one I had the 8120, ah–big difference the charge on 8520 last longer and takes a little time to charge up, but its worth it. Also, the keys I wished lighted up a bit brighter, BUT like I said once you have it after a few days you get used to it. My one problem with as I am thinking off the top of my head ..is there are not enough apps to go with or themes made for this model.
I am a geek for that, but as of now I have been able to download a few off my blackberry 8120 to my 8520.
Also, checking around i was able to get a few more themes, that are just awesome. The 2gb memory card that comes with it I took out and put in my 4gb from my 8120 in it. I read somewhere it can go to 16gb and pretty soon it will go 34gb…its in the works now.
I will say the quality in web browsing is GREAT and I have had no problems with dropped calls, lost signal, or getting frustrated with where are the keys for texting; all the numbers are on the left side..feels weird but after a day or so, it works better than my other blkberry which was the 8120.
Also there’s a dictionary to while your texting, a firewall..it is just way better than I expected. If I go all over, I apologize, I am giving you want I can tell you about this product as I’m writing I’m having a flashback…lol.
Now if your a geek like me with apps, there aren’t that many games for this Rim..I am waiting for new apps to become more available for my phone for some reason, 8320 has the most..kind-of peeves me at times, wen I am looking around as to adding to my phone but..this phone is pretty easy compared to my 8120. If you want to know anything else, ask..I will answer.

|Blackberry Gemini 8520,
Very good cell phone. It is a real Unlocked International Version, I recommend it. It should be a way to have a warranty or may be we cuold have a certification that this product have been tested and it works OK. The resolution of the screen is excelent.It is not too expensive and is easy to handle.

|Decent reception + sound. Short Talk-Time. Lousy Camera.,
I’ve been using a black RAZR for 3 months and here are my thoughts:
THE GOOD
========
- FREE!! with a T-Mobile 1-year family plan
- Better reception than my previous, 3 yr-old Nokia handset (6610)
- Can use the same phone when travelling in Europe, Asia. Just need to get a pre-paid SIM chip locally.
- Can be charged from laptop using included USB cable.
- It’s BLACK.
THE OK
======
- Passable voice quality. (Maybe it’s just because it’s GSM technology, and coverage is not fantastic in outside of cities.)
- Slim profile, though a little heavier than my previous handset
- Nice colors in screen. Great ringtone sounds. Though these are pretty standard nowadays.
- Decent bluetooth range. Paired this with a Jabra BT800 headset and I can run into the coin laundry with my ear piece and still connect with the phone in the car outside.
THE BAD
=======
- Short battery life. 7 hours talk-time as advertised is a imaginary. Phone starts to beep after 2-3 hrs of talking.
- Organizer (calendar, alarm, notes, contacts) doesn’t sync correctly with Outlook.
- Oily screens!! The inside and outside screens and the metallic keypad get oily fingerprints after every use (is it just my skin?!) Looks yucky and kinda destroys all the aesthetics.
Tried wiping now and then but notice minor scratches start to accumulate. (My clothes are not always cotton and I don’t usually carry eye glass cloth.)
- Low camera resolution. Other new phones have close to twice that resolution. Pics always kinda dark.
- Camera doesn’t take video.
- No MP3 or radio. Some of the newer Nokia and Sony models are close to iPod Shuffle capacity already.

|Black (RAZR) is Beautiful,
The Black RAZR V3 is the wireless phone I have always wanted. It’s that simple.
Before having bought mine, I would read commentary from people who would cite all of the features the RAZR doesn’t have: “I could buy the (insert model number of cheaper, but still expensive phone which does 100 different things–all of them poorly) and get more for a lot less money.” When I would research a model recommended by these self-proclaimed gadget freaks, I’d find that it’s dimensions make keeping it in a pocket an awkward and uncomfortable proposition; I’d find that the pictures it takes are not nearly of comparable quality to those taken by even a modest digital camera; I’d find that the lo-res video it can shoot serves no practical purpose; I’d find that web-browsing, game-playing, Instant messaging, streaming television content, all suck up battery-life and ultimately make the device useless for the unlikely purpose of placing and taking phone calls; I’d find that the phone casing is composed of cheap and flimsy plastics which make me wonder how long it wll last; I’d find that little attention had been paid to how the phone’s design will contribute to, or detract from, user comfort. After my investigation, I concluded that for all the money I would save by buying “Phone X” over buying a RAZR, I would still have paid hundreds too much for a filmsy hunk of cutting-edge technojunk. (Don’t take my word for it. Look around on the Net for comments about the RAZR around the time of its inroduction and see the recommendations from consumers that people choose the Motorola V600 instead. Then look at the consumer reviews of the V600 on this site.)
The RAZR has a camera, a web-browser, Instant messaging capability, and a whole array of other features all of which are listed in the product description. To the extent that the RAZR does these things adequately I will offer little, if any, comment–mainly because I don’t care about them. That to which I can and will attest is that the RAZR exceeds my expectation on how it serves AS A PHONE.
Using my own criteria, a wireless phone should draw and hold a signal; It’s earpiece should deliver clear sound at a volume which can compete with background noise; it’s mouthpiece should pick up the users voice clearly; it should be compact enough to allow for placement in clothing pockets without creating prominent bulges; it should be solidly built out of durable materials which are not prone to scratching; it should have decent battery life. And yes, anything for which I pay hundreds of dollars should be designed with aesthetics in mind: there are far too many wireless phones which look like disposable children’s toys, or like awkward, all-purpose, button-riddled gadgets.
Using the above criteria, the RAZR V3, particularly the Black model, is close to perfect. The sound from the ear piece could certainly be louder, but I have yet to have a caller’s voice drowned out by the noise of busy New York City streets. The people to whom I’m speaking have reported to have heard my voice loudly and clearly. Battery life could be longer, but then, the same could be said about many wireless phones which are bulkier and have larger batteries. I have used the phone on both T-Mobile and Cingular networks and found that it draws a strong signal on both; it has never dropped a call. I found the speaker phone to be loud and clear despite my expectations to the contrary. Is the much-lamented Motorola phone book program clunky? Yes it is. But the RAZR’s voice-dialing works well, making it possible to avoid scrolling through the phone book if one hates it that much.
I’ll try to boil it down with a somewhat clumsy analogy: Complaining that the RAZR doesn’t do enough in the way of tech-gimmicks to justify its price (which is considerably lower that it was when it was introduced) is like complaining that an exotic sports car isn’t worth the money because it doesn’t have a cup holder, a GPS system, and DVD player like the Minivan you’ve been looking to buy. That ridiculousness ignores the engineering that makes the sports car a superior performer on the road, and the attention put toward making it sleek and aesthetically pleasing. The RAZR’s performance has made concern over signal strength a thing of the past. and its design is unmatched–not just for it’s ultra-compactness, but for the solidity of it’s build. That makes it worth what I paid for it. And my inability to speak to the quality of other phones on the market put them out of consideration.
Besides, as they say, black is beautiful.
That the RAZR cannot serve as a business-card scanner doesn’t trouble me. For those who need to have whichever feature-laden mobile gadget is most desired at the moment, buy a Samsung MM-A800, clip it on you belt (you’ll need to), and earn yourself the right to say your phone can do just about…

|Form over Function,
Don’t expect this phone to work any better than a Motorola V551. I wrongly thought with the price as high as it was that I’d have perfect reception and no dropped calls. Nothing has changed.
Don’t get me wrong, this matte black phone is slim and sexy and lightweight fun and easy to slip into a pocket. But those are it’s biggest draws.
Some other cons include:
-The large square screen and key pad get dirty easily from holding the phone up to your face. I don’t wear make-up, but if I did, I can imagine that I’d always be taking a toothpick to all of those little crevices between the keys on the flat keypad all the time. As it is now, I’m constantly wiping the screen and keys.
-The battery life is not long and if you’re going anywhere overnight, remember to bring your charger.
-The operating system is the same as other newer model Motorola phones, so don’t expect a big upgrade there either.
If Cingular is your provider, the sim card from your current phone will work in this unlocked version nicely. However, make sure you’ve saved all of your numbers and info on the card and not on the old phone before you take the sim card out of the old phone, because it doesn’t slip into this phone very easily. Once it’s in, it is difficult to remove.
If you have some extra money to spend on a new phone and you don’t mind the same reception problems as cheaper phones, then this is the phone for you.
