The BlackBerry Curve 8520 shows that the future of the BlackBerry is here… kind of.

By far the stand-out feature of the Curve 8520 is its new optical trackpad, which replaces the trackball for navigation – and it rocks.

In a confusing move though, the 8520 is the third Curve available on T-Mobile, in addition to the original and the 8900, which was released early this year.

The 8250 has several elements that depart from traditional BlackBerrys, beyond just the trackpad. Features such as dedicated media keys across the top of the device, a smaller LED indicator, updated look for the call and end-call keys, and new ‘hidden’ convenience keys on the side of the phone all work together to position the 8250 to expand its reach to younger market segments that other BlackBerrys have failed to capture.

The revamped BlackBerry Curve 8900 by RIM is the convertible sports-car of BlackBerrys. It is sleek, light, comfortably sized and incredibly powerful.

The Curve has been an abiding standby for BlackBerry nation, and the newest model promises to deliver on expectations. Much of the 8900’s improvements can be attributed to design considerations and software and usability.

There is still room for improvement in some areas, though. Most notably, the Curve 8900 lacks 3G, but T-Mobile’s version does have UMA-enabled Wi-Fi. Also lacking on the Curve 8900 are the rubbery keys sported by models such as the 8800 and the Bold. These deficiencies are small, however, compared to the considerable assets the device boasts.
