This technical BlackBerry 7520 review is based on a computer algorithm, it doesn't constitute an actual hands-on review. It outlines its strengths and weaknesses so that you make a sound decision.
The Good:
- Speakerphone: It has a speakerphone, which can prove useful in a car or in other situations. (score: 10/10)
- Full Keyboard: It has a full keyboard. It helps not just when typing text but also when browsing the Internet and adding new phone book contacts. (score: 7/7)
- Push-to-Talk (PTT): The BlackBerry 7520 supports Push-to-talk (PTT), a technology that allows you to instantly talk to other people owning a PTT phone on the same network, just by the push of a button, as with a walkie-talkie. (score: 7/7)
The Not-So-Good:
- Weight: 6.10 ounces of the BlackBerry 7520 is a lot of weight. Whether you carry it in your pants pocket or a purse, you could find it heavy. (score: 0/20)
- Talk Time: A talk time of 175 minutes. This is just basic. (score: 8/20)
- Stand-by Time: A stand-by time of 75 hours. Not quite sufficient for most users, in my opinion. (score: 4/20)
- Phone Book: It can only store phone book entries. If you have many business contact or friends, this may not be enough for you. (Find phones with more phone book entries) (score: 4/20)
- Wireless Data System: Not Bluetooth-enabled. (score: 0/7)
Overall Score: 40
