BlackBerry Smartphones Blackberry 8520

Hi, I love my Blackberry 8520. Had it a year now, but am I alone in thinking that the camera on this device is totally desperate. The images have no definition, and are too blurry. The installation of "zoom" appears completely dead. Everything else is great, but I would not recommend this model to use as a camera phone. Anyone who has views on my comments?

Concerning

Andy

Hello

My 8330 takes great shots!

Like what anyone else providing a little maintenance and watch the memory usage will do wonders for your device.

Thank you

    Look for the icon of the application that you can't find in the Applications folder, downloads, instant messages, one of the folders.

    Battery pull reboot is the best way to restart.

    Alternatively, you can press the ALT + SHIFT + DELETE key.

  • Curve Smartphones blackBerry 8520 connected to network bb

    I have a blackberry 8520 connected wireless to my ISP BT

    It will connect to the internet and allows you to surf the internet, but won't let me sign in yahoo mail. When I try the login box appears for a few seconds, then disappears behind an ad that comes immediately after it and the lock on the top of the page changes straight to an orange padlock.  I disconnected the e-mail on the pc and logged in again to see what is happening there. The exact same announcement came, but the login box was above it, allowing me to connect.

    The phone is connected to the network and works well.  I was able to connect with no problem.  The only thing I can find is now on the phone itself. Check connections, my homehub watch is on, but also shows a white dash, which means that it is not connected to the network.  I can't find anything in the help files on how to reconnect to the network.

    Can someone point my in the right direction.

    Thanks for reading and in advance for any help offered.

    Interesting. But if it is said that, just try clicking on Yes. And just, the PSK is the pre-shared key, or the wifi password.

    If it still does not respond, the solution may be to back up your phone using the BlackBerry Desktop Software and do a security wipe. To do this, go to Options > Security Options > Security wipe. Do a wipe of the application data. Once it is finished, perform a selective restore by using the BlackBerry Desktop Software and restore only the databases you need (e.g. messages, address book, calendar, etc.).

    Then you should be able to start from scratch.

  • Screen of the Smartphone Blackberry 8520 blackBerry

    Is could someone please tell me if the screen on the Blackberry 8520 easily broken? I used to have the Nokia N96 and Nokia N95 and when I put them in my bag in hand I've always had to make sure they were in a deal covering the screen.  My N95 had to be repaired as she knocked against something in my bag which broke the screen.  I have a case for my curve, but don't want to use it unless I have to like the phone want to show!

    Hello

    I think the BlackBerry 8520 screen is plastic hard like all keyboard BlackBerry devices (= anything but storm/Storm2). It is possible to get scratches if you try hard on the teeth of a key of the door, but other than that it is as strong as you can expect from a mobile phone. In addition, the device is very thin and has a small footprint.

    On the N95/N96 that both models are known for their really fragile screen, rather than the quality usually provided by Nokia.

    First, look for the latest version of the OS 5 for the no carrier device:
