For lovers of the Blackberry, you would have quite often heard the Blackberry Curve 8520 aka Gemini is the low end handsets made by Research in Motion (RIM). Unfortunately, as of early September this smartphone still can not enter Indonesia for one reason or another. But do not worry, Review1st been holding and fiddling with the Blackberry Curve 8520, or we briefly with her nickname, Gemini. Well, to satisfy your curiosity and that not disappointed or upset before buying, it's a special review of Review1st.
1st LOOK
The main points Gemini of course prices are 'cheap'. That is, this type of Blackberry with the most affordable price than his brothers who had already been circulated in the market.
For the record, this handset that is the product reviewed Black Market (BM) is not the official version of the market for Indonesia. Actually there was no significant difference with the official version except for the warranty and 'maybe' inclusion of the logo to the owner of the product. For example on Gemini that we use are made of T-Mobile at the bottom.
Okay, let's start in terms of design reviews.
Physically, the BlackBerry 8520 aka Gemini has a display such as the Blackberry Javelin or the Tour (the same descent Curve series) with a QWERTY keypad 36. But, Gemini is more petite and can be grasped fully by hand. In effect, the button became smaller.
The body is dynamic and less rigid, lightweight impressed because the components
casing made of plastic with rubber combination. Unique BlackBerry smartphones including resilient. In experiments tossed to the floor from a height of 1 meter, this phone is still intact no one any less.
1st TOUCH
Revolution in Gemini trackpad is used as a replacement trackball navigation is quite identical with the product manufacturer RIM. Create an information only so no wonder, trackpad is the button navigation that relies on sensors that are sensitive to touch. Maybe if the laptop is almost like a touch pad mouse replacement. Box model such as the D-pad, and when tested Review1st quite sensitive to touch. Our conclusion, trackpad on the Gemini can be an alternative that is not less powerful than the trackball.
Gemini exploit the operating system v4.6.1, equivalent to the Javelin and the Bold.
Of course not as sophisticated Storm with v4.7.1. View the smartphone is similar to his elder brother Javelin both icons and menus.
Standard BlackBerry features are buried in this smartphone. Starting from Push Mail, which can be used to subscribe to BIS / BES service. 10 supported email accounts plus the automatic settings. BlackBerry Messenger, Yahoo Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, Windows Live and AIM. There is also the Office To Go, but still the trial version. Memo pad, Voice Note, Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter (application center).
2-megapixel camera but not equipped with LED flash and auto focus. In addition, the available music player / video, Image / Picture Viewer, Voice recording and a few games. Unfortunately, only 256 MB of internal memory (shared). Meanwhile, applications from outside could only be installed to internal memory.
But for many other things like storing files or data available external memory slot for microSD cards. Not bad, for you who likes to store various digital data in mobile phones.
A little disappointment on the smartphone, namely the lack of an internal GPS receiver, although the available digital maps. Network was only supported EDGE class.
But a little relieved by the presence of WiFi, Bluetooth and microUSB data cable.
In class, Gemini becomes the product of choice for office and to the internet through the BIS service. His image is still solid despite the quality of the body material is somewhat decreased. But if you look at the affairs of the completeness of features, still less with some of its rivals (eg: Nokia E63) in the price range is not much different.
