BlackBerry Messenger!
BlackBerry Messenger provides BlackBerry users with the familiar look and feel of desktop instant messaging programs only this time you can take it with you wherever you go.

And as BlackBerry Messenger uses data, it wont put a dent in your SMS text allowance!

Do it wirelessly
Stay connected to the things that matter to you thanks to the Blackberry Curve's Wi-Fi. Wirelessly back up and copy your media to your PC, WiFi also means SPEED. The Blackberry Curve empowers you to access the Internet at high speed.
2.0 Megapixel Camera
With a built in 2.0 megapixel camera, the 8520 takes quality pictures that you will want to share with your friends. Store them in your phone, email them to friends or upload them to your blog
Bluetooth 2.0
Bluetooth 2.0 is the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. With Bluetooth 2.0 one of the biggest advantages is the possibility of listening to music with a compatible wireless headset in stereo. Less wires, less mess, more noise.
Music Player
With a built in music player, you can carry your tunes with you, in your pocket, and listen to them when you want. Most digital formats are recognised on the phone, including MP3 and AAC. The 8520 Curve has dedicated media buttons on the top of the phone so your music is always at your fingertips.
Java
Java is often a forgotten feature on many phones, and is probably used in many ways without you even realising. If you play games on your phone, it is likely they are java apps. But java is so much more than games. It allows you to add extra functionality to your handset by installing third party apps to the phone. Add email functionality with Gmail, add a web browser from Opera Mini, add a business directory with Yell.com or keep an eye on a new purchase on Ebay.
Built in Hands Free
For the moments when you want to take that call but your hands are busy doing something else, the built in hands free option on the Blackberry Curve comes into its own. Also can turn the handset into a makeshift conference phone
Expandable Memory
With phones offering so much these days, memory is a premium. Very often on board memory is very low, so an option to add extra memory with the addition of a memory card is invaluable. If you are using your phone as a media player, expandable memory allows you to add songs, store videos and keep photos, and take them with you, all located on your phone
