BlackBerry Smartphones have always been known for their outstanding performance when it comes to the overall user experience. This is primarily brought about by the proprietary operating system on all BlackBerry Smartphones which has been dubbed by some critics as the closest competitor of the Apple iPhone OS. The upcoming BlackBerry Curve 8520 definitely doesn’t disappoint in this regard as it is still able to live up to the high standards set by previous BlackBerry devices, despite the fact that it is only an entry level unit.
Same Old, Same Old
The refined look combined with the modern icon set are what make the BlackBerry user interface one of the most eye-pleasing UI’s out there. The same holds true for the one seen in the BlackBerry Curve 8520 as it too shares the same delightfully designed interface. The OS on the 8520 hasn’t seen much improvement since the previous models aside from a few tweaks and adjustments here and there. But then again, why fix anything if it isn’t broken, right? This means that past BlackBerry users will have no problems adjusting to the slightly upgraded OS installed on the Curve 8520.
For new users, it may be quite intimidating at first when you realize that each program has its own icon. However, a few minutes with the Curve 8520 should prove to you that its OS is actually very user-friendly.
No Hang-Ups
Based on initial testing, we have not experienced any technical freezing on the new OS which means that BlackBerry has probably addressed the concerns raised by Storm and Bold users. You’d be happy to know that the stability of the BlackBerry OS has been reestablished and that the hiccups have been cured. On the BlackBerry Curve 8520, users can now go back and focus on their work instead of worrying when the next crash will come.
