BlackBerry Curve 8520

user posted image

The BlackBerry Curve 8520 will be the first BlackBerry device available for prepaid users at an affordable price. This particular model is deemed to be aiming for the lower-end market or for those who are looking forward to try out a BlackBerry. Currently, Celcom and Maxis have already announced their price for the BlackBerry Curve 8520 which is at RM888 and RM899 respectively but terms and conditions apply.

Pros
- First prepaid BlackBerry
- Affordable
- Optical trackpad
- Dedicated music keys

Cons
- Lacking 3G support
- Screen resolution at only 320 x 240 pixels
- 2.0MP camera

High possibility, another strategy to have people attend the party and to get to the party, pre-registrations are needed.

I suppose so but without the plan pricing, I think those who are eager to find out will have to attend the party. smile.gif

Can someone explain to me about free 1-month BlackBerry prepaid access (worth RM2.50 unlimited per day)?
Is it means internet access? Is the access pay-per-day-used or pay-though-you're-not-using-it?
I know nuts about BlackBerry but interested to get one.
Please pardon my ignorant.

Thanks.
