Blackberry curve 8250 Review
RIM launched a new radical handset Curve 8250 mainly targeting upon new entry level consumers who still haven’t experienced Blackberry Functionality. RIM has justified the absence of trackball with the atypical rubberized buttons and an optical track pad. Facing stiff competition from its rivals it seems to have made a good move by incorporating optical track pad.
Aesthetics:
With a superior material quality emphasized by curvy features it displays a sleeker look. The front fascia features a glossy snazzy finish while the rear panel is a smooth finish surface. Embedded with a Track pad that replaces the track ball for more reliability. Although the design is very much on the lines of prior predated Blackberry models. The model sizes up to 109 x 60 x 13.9 mm and weighs106 g.
Display:
Sports a 2.64 inch Thin Film Transistor display of 65K colors supporting 320 x 240 pixels and Quarter Video Graphics Array. A colorful and vivid display is a result of the aforementioned features. QWERTY keyboard is easier and reliable without being cramped.
Camera:
Sports a 2 Mega Pixel camera of 1600×1200 pixels and supporting Quarter Video Graphics Array with a primary lens essential for capturing video. Fun Factor is being added through application Photocall (enables the users to tag photos to the contacts).
Connectivity:
Supports second generation GSM and data transfer takes place through General Packet Radio Service, Enhanced GSM Evolution, High Speed Circuit Switched Data.WLAN, Bluetooth (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and USB.
Generic Traits:
Equipped with a Blackberry Operating system. Features an onboard storage memory of 256 MB and armed with Micro Secure Digital memory slot expandable up to 16 GB. Standard Lithium-ion Battery with a rated talk time of four hours.
TechnO Review:
Mostly targeted at mid-tier consumers Blackberry comes with a fine reception quality that enables a clearer and dynamic sound. Economical an ergonomically embodied features.
@Roana,
Playing videos with your bb is as simple as ABC. Just connect ur bb to a laptop or any computer, download ur video straight into ur bb memCard, close and remove d bb when done. Navigate to ur MemCard and open to play the video. Enjoy it!

I have the blackberry 8250 and recently the track pad (middle touch bit) had frozen. I took my phone into the shop, and they happily sent me another phone- as i had evidence that i brought the phone. You need either the orignal SIM card which came with the phone or the reciept. But apart from that the phone has been very good! I think that this phone is suitable for anyone. One thing i was disapointed in was the camera- i wanted a flash on the camera, but the phone unfortunatly does not have flash.
Does curve 8250 support flash photography
NO. There is not a flash installed in the phone. But I have heard that if you use an LED type light in the background, like behind your head aimed at the point you wish to photograph, that you can get a pretty good picture still.
Waiting for C6 or N8 to come …
To anyone wondering how to find the radio on the Blackberry Curve 8520, It doesn’t have one and neither does any of the other Blackberry smartphones.
However the is an APP for that….LOL.
Please is the curve 8250 a 2G or 3G phone and what is the major difference between 2G and 3G?
no its not a 3g or2g its a edge and the 3g is just for speed it goes faster but it also drains ur battery
ive just brought a blackberry curve 8520 it wont let we receive anything from bluetooth can anyone give me details on how to do this plz thanx
To recieve music or a picture using bluetooth, go onto your main media folder, then press the options button and click “Recieve Using Bluetooth”.
