Sorry, I missed that part where you said you didn't get a data plan. So yes, if you don't have a data plan, accessing the Net will require a data plan. However your BlackBerry has WiFi built in, and if you have access to WiFi networks, then you don't have to get a data plan.
Because he is smart and wants to get his stuff easily and efficiently done, instead of wasting his time with moisturizers apps. I'll use it again. Have my iphone abolished and I moved back to my curve. I appreciate my peace and privacy and love to call with friends, insteat of texting. The battery must only be loaded every three days. Nice
I have an important question... I have AT&T and i was wondering if i have to get Interent. My brother has the original Curve and he didnt have to get Internet.
Yes, BB's are very functional. And I love the designs of most of them. But phones like Nokia900 and the HTC HD2, to me, in my situation, are better. What BB do u have? Because I had a Curve.
im getting ot for christmas but i have one question....do u get free internet ...like wireless so if u already had wireless internet at home u could go on it fom ur blacberry???? i really need to know...thanx x
just a quick question, Does a blackberry have radio,do you need to have earphones to listen to it , can you be on bbm messenger whilst listening to radio on your phone thanks in advance
@rslax To use BBM you have to have a data plan, or depending on the network for example T-Mobile you can buy a blackberry booster £5 for 1 month or £20 for 6 months of bbm including internet, but that's if you live in the UK.
Does this mobile have some kind of tracking software? my old samsung had a software that sent some of my chosen buddies a sms when the thief put his sim-card into the samsung. then i could track him via his phone-number. does the blackberry have something like that? or some gps tracking? thanks for help!
Yes you can, you simply connect to your home's wifi network. You might have to configure the browser (in advanced settings) to use wifi instead of carriers data
This is a great little workhorse and have given me NO problems. Everything just keeps on working like it should. Great phone...cant wait to explore the world of Samsung Galaxy S III though ;) November is just around the corner.
so i dont need a data plan i thought u had to have one in order to get a blackberry im going to wait on the blackberry oynx(9700) can someone please respond
For the BlackBerry? You'll lose some application that have to do with entertainment (GPS, Facebook-shortcuts etc.) but the phone itself is still very functional.
@theproducerspart2 You can go on any website you wish. I was told that the phone was 2G only. I'm not exactly sure about storage but mine came with a 2GB memory card. The battery life WAS good but as I kept charging it (probably overcharged it) I find that if I'm using the phone a lot then it would last a day. The camera is not HD, but does zoom in and out for photos and videos. No flash. Audio input socket? Not sure to be honest. It is quite loud. And I've dropped mine a few times and no damage
How easy is it to unlock these BB. I'm thinking of getting the 8900 off Play.. If someone could give me anymore information then that would help thanks
hey im having this same problem. I also have the Nokia 5800 and am thinking about switching to the blackberry curve 8520 but i have no idea if it is worth me doing, please people i also need some more convincing as i know for a fact Blackberry's internet is faster than Nokia's but im not sure about Blackberry's music playback.
really? so I assume the speaker/sound system should be good? I don't expect amazing sound from a BB but since I'm a music freak so I'd want a BB with a decent sound system...
This is blowing my mind watching this in 2023! I adored my Blackberry Curve 😂
Where

I just bought one for $45 been using for a week I love it
Wtf!! Why are you using this phone in 2017?!!!!!
Worth £3 now

I have it, and I used it a LOT for texting, web, and music, and it didn't die for 3 and a half days. So it's really good!
Did this happen in the U.S.?
@AvailableSkilz No, Edge is not 3G.
@sorrowrange7 Most prepaid carriers offer data plans, so yes, you can use data outside of WiFi range.
@MegaHyperTyper Yes, the phone comes with it. It will walk you through the set up.
@TheKimmy562 Yes, T-Mobile offers a BlackBerry plan for BB phones.
@Beautystaa Some carriers let you use BBM over WiFi, BUT you need a BBM data plan for BBM to work period.
Are you going to do a review of the htc ace? and if you do is it better than the htc desire?
is the blackberry speaker for music is it very loud ? dont lie please
i'm very impressed with the battery life, it never fails me :) i love this phone.
It has great battery life
how's the battery now
@@KingEutony😂😂 probably he's not using rhe phone anymore
Between the 8520 and the 8900 which one do you recommend? What are the differences between these two?
@cooldanber Yes, all 3G phones can fall back to EDGE. WiFi connectivity is solid.
which blackberry did he compare it to? cause it looked like the new bold but has the trackball!
I used to have this phone during my college days.
thanks alot for the info !! Is it cool wif BBM ?? But which key to hold down for 3 sec ??
Getting mine tomorrow, so damn exited !!! Is it as good as i hope?
How’d it go?
@@NotoriousN_I_G_ You know what man? High school me loved that phone so much the buttons stopped working.
@@LaurenFawcett so it was trash? Thanks. Will not purchase. 😂
After you said buttons were not working...that changed my mind. Glad, to buy the iphone 14. No buttons just the lock and volume and still functions
@@LaurenFawcettdamn. After a decade you still replied😂
can you call from it?
Does the 8520 support EDGE? and if so could this be used in MOST places in general and how good is the wifi connectivity?
do you like this phone?? I'm thinking on buying it.... :)
I have an important question... I have AT&T and i was wondering if i have to get Interent. My brother has the original Curve and he didnt have to get Internet.
Hey,
I see in the video the BB has a MyFaves contacts shortcut.
How can I get it on my BB or is it some kind of app ?
Thanks
Yes, BB's are very functional. And I love the designs of most of them. But phones like Nokia900 and the HTC HD2, to me, in my situation, are better. What BB do u have? Because I had a Curve.
um does the curve have free wifi or do you have to get a plan with that
finally! a womans voice in a review. if men talk about phones they sound to.. manly, this is nice to listen to! thanks!
im getting ot for christmas but i have one question....do u get free internet ...like wireless so if u already had wireless internet at home u could go on it fom ur blacberry???? i really need to know...thanx x
isnt it actually like the regular samsung omnia with the mouse?
What's the difference between the 8520 and 9700???
Does it lose battery quick or does it have battery as long as up to 3 days or 24 hours?
on the contract im getting it comes with 500mb data does that mean bbm comes fully installed already
just a quick question, Does a blackberry have radio,do you need to have earphones to listen to it , can you be on bbm messenger whilst listening to radio on your phone
thanks in advance
Im thinking of getting a black berry and i wanna go pay as u go. would i still be able to use bbm?
May i know does it work well wif BBM ???
And had does the keypad lock work ?
Does this have full google playstore? Please help
Is this a good phone?? or is the blackberry curve 8900 better? also, what is the difference? x
Do you have to pay for the BBM or is it completely free ? Please reply back ASAP
I’m still have and still working as well but no one service providers support BB service anymore
should i get the blackberry curve 8520 or the samsung comeback
Does it cost to use internet services? (BBM and Facebook etc.)
2020 anyone? 😂😂
2023 🎉😂 The phones of today suck compared to this.
Who’s here in 2019 🤣
Jabu Phiri lmaooo me, I found my old one and came back to remember how shit this phone was
@AdriannaCubellis which one should i get
@DonSelwashington Im looking into gettting this phone how many features do you lose if you dont get internt?
@rslax To use BBM you have to have a data plan, or depending on the network for example T-Mobile you can buy a blackberry booster £5 for 1 month or £20 for 6 months of bbm including internet, but that's if you live in the UK.
will bbm work with pay and go?
how long does the battery last ??
when i click video it says please insert a media card...what does this mean plz answer
is EDGE sort of 3G?
(surf on internet outside)
A good alternative is the htc dash 3g tmobile. It will do wifi without a data plan. I don't know if BB does that or not.
@cj1803cj which one do you reckon is the best?
@iJenBubz what do bbm does?
Thank you sooooo much!! now i know what i want. 30 extra bucks a month is a waste. im sooo happy. THANK YOU!!!!
Does it have 3G or just Wi-fi?
How's the battery life???
Does this mobile have some kind of tracking software?
my old samsung had a software that sent some of my chosen buddies a sms when the thief put his sim-card into the samsung. then i could track him via his phone-number. does the blackberry have something like that? or some gps tracking?
thanks for help!
bb has wifi right so i can conect to my router right ? answr please
I have a blackberry curve 8520 but doesn't have the wee symbol at the bottom :/
woah didn't realise this phone had been out for so long!
do i have to get internet if i have at&t?
Yes you can, you simply connect to your home's wifi network. You might have to configure the browser (in advanced settings) to use wifi instead of carriers data
I'm considering gething this phone, i had a 9300 but it fucked up, is this better than the 9300?
hey if i got this phone i want bbm do i have to pay for internet to use bbm? or do i have to connect to something?
does it have a camera
What is the maximum micro sd memory size I can use with this?
This is a great little workhorse and have given me NO problems. Everything just keeps on working like it should. Great phone...cant wait to explore the world of Samsung Galaxy S III though ;)
November is just around the corner.
Should I get this or a Nokia N97
so i dont need a data plan i thought u had to have one in order to get a blackberry im going to wait on the blackberry oynx(9700) can someone please respond
Which is better Blackberry Curve or Samsung galaxy y 5360? (:
For the BlackBerry? You'll lose some application that have to do with entertainment (GPS, Facebook-shortcuts etc.) but the phone itself is still very functional.
how is the battery life?
One advantage this has over any other BB is the track pad. No more dirty unresponsive trackballs.
i have iPhone 3gs but i want to get this wat 1 is better??
whats the one on the right called
yeah the keypad lock does work you just hold it down for about 3 seconds, i just got one so i know.
what blackberry should i get!?!?!
Can you play angrybird on it?
what is 3G actualy?
@theproducerspart2 You can go on any website you wish. I was told that the phone was 2G only. I'm not exactly sure about storage but mine came with a 2GB memory card. The battery life WAS good but as I kept charging it (probably overcharged it) I find that if I'm using the phone a lot then it would last a day. The camera is not HD, but does zoom in and out for photos and videos. No flash. Audio input socket? Not sure to be honest. It is quite loud. And I've dropped mine a few times and no damage
I bought this for $5 ! And using it in 2020
I will get one for free tomorrow
@jens76852 awesome in what way? I know how good Blackberry phones are? however? do they really keep up to their name?
So this Blackberry can play video's from RUclips etc. because it has Java-script? Grtz.
how can i use the bluetooth in this bb 8520
how much does it costs
How easy is it to unlock these BB. I'm thinking of getting the 8900 off Play.. If someone could give me anymore information then that would help thanks
does it have 3g
@MobileTechReview
how do i internet outside without 3G ?
does the curve 8520 have gps
can this phone watch youtube videos using wifi?
BTW, BlackBerry doesn't natively play Flash and Opera mini doesn't add Flash. You should be able to play the mobile youtube.
i bought this phone yesterday and i actually like it....BLACKBERRY OVER I-PHONE ANY DAY!!!
CAN someone please compare the 8520 or 30 to the 8330 ... idont kno if i sould make the switch
Do. U think it can run call of duty
@davshelgo no, but it has blackberry maps or sumtin like that, like google maps
hey im having this same problem. I also have the Nokia 5800 and am thinking about switching to the blackberry curve 8520 but i have no idea if it is worth me doing, please people i also need some more convincing as i know for a fact Blackberry's internet is faster than Nokia's but im not sure about Blackberry's music playback.

I LOVE BLACKBERRY!
I think this doesnt have flash right? =/
@Ethatron1 BBM comes installed on all blackberrys, but it requires 5 £/$ a month.
