As the 8520 is intended as an entry-level BlackBerry, two significant compromises have been made in the omission of 3G and GPS.
This leaves users with GPRS (2.5G) mobile internet speeds, unless they are using the handset's 802.11b/g Wi-Fi connection.
The BlackBerry Curve 8520 is expected to be launched through as-yet-unannounced UK operators in early-to-mid-August.
