Blackberry Curve 9220 Review: Hardware, Interface, Apps, Price and Verdict

This Blackberry Curve 9220 review will tell you about the complete features, Interface of the Blackberry OS 7.1, some apps that come with and whether it deserves your attention.

Introduction

The Blackberry 8520 created waves when it was released a few years ago, mainly because of its entry-level pricing and still looking a lot like its more expensive predecessors. Well, now it looks pretty outdates with its old BB 5 OS and an oldie kind of a look. Loved it? No problem – Blackberry brings you another similar handset, the Blackberry Curve 9220, with possibly the same market strategies in mind. This guy runs the latest Blackberry 7.1 OS, has a look generally reserved for the more expensive BB handsets, and probably for the first time – an apparently great battery life. Whether it does justice to the reputation the 8520 has gathered and whether it should have its own share of accolades – let’s find out.
