T-Mobile has released the latest addition to the BlackBerry Curve lineup with the new 8520. This new Curve parts way with the traditional trackball for a new optical trackpad. This new type of trackpad is said to perform smoother and is less likely to cause problems like trackballs have in the past. The 8520 features a fast 512MHz processor, 2.64-inch 320 x 240 TFT pixel display, EDGE and WiFi data connectivity, and Bluetooth headset and stereo headphone support. A 2.0 megapixel camera and a microSDHC card slot make this geared more towards the everyday consumer. The 8520 is also the first BlackBerry to feature dedicated media keys and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The 8520 is available now at T-Mobile for $130 after a 2 year contract. It has also made it’s way into Walmart for a limited time (once they sell out) for only $48.88 after contract.
