Blackberry 8520 Curve Red Released Articles the Blackberry 8520 Red is the latest addition to the popular series which offers quick text input from its front facing Qwerty keyboard and multiple social networking support.The range has proved popular with those people wanting a Blackberry phone without the large price tag of some of the more advanced models, the Blackberry Curve 8520 manages to pack in those essential features and offer a great looking exterior which could be mistaken for a top-end device.The new red edition joins a growing number of colour schemes in the range which now includes the Blackberry 8520 White, Violet, Purple, Blue and original black model.
