T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve 8520 sold early at Walmart, unboxed

General

You know the deal… A big box retail store receives stock of the BlackBerry Curve 8520 a few days before it’s due to go on sale so an overzealous employee throws caution to the wind and sells one to someone. Obviously, the purchaser must then proceeded to go straight home and post an unboxing video on YouTube. The contents of the box provide no surprises either as the 8520 comes with nothing but the phone, microUSB cable, travel charger, stereo headset, installation CD and manuals. Hey, what can you expect from a smartphone that goes for $48.88 at Walmart? Hit the jump for the unboxing vid.

Thanks, Alex!

    ok my walmart has had the 8520s for 4 days now and we checked and were able and allowed to sell them when we recieved them and also they do come to walmart with a 1gb micro sd card preinstalled and besides that the only other thing that could come inside the box would be second rate holster like the one in the bold’s box which freakin sucks

    Some of you people are snobs, holy crap. “eh, it’s not 3g so I don’t care”

    I really wish some of you would shut the hell up and realize this phone isn’t intended to be the Porsche of blackberries. Once you learn than, we’ll all be better off.

    I gotta say that although I appreciate this guy doing the unboxing for us, I wish he would have taken whatever he was chewing/sucking on out of his mouth. I had a gun to my head within the 1st 30 seconds of this video. If you are gonna wide release a video of you talking take the sh*t outta your mouth for god’s sake. I don’t know if it continues after 30 seconds because I muted the vid and took the gun off of my temple.

    Also, is Smacky Rodriguez wearing a “What Would Lance Armstrong Do” bracelet?

    1. This unboxer sucked! He could have booted up the phone and let us get a glimpse into the new device and how the optical pad functioned instead of opening up the cd jacket to see if it’s compatible with macs!

    2.Also this is a very low end blackberry folks. Can we get that understood please. I know that most people don’t understand the words “Blackberry” and “Low-End” in the same statement, but that’s the case here. There is no 3G and frankly I really want to know how sturdy the phone feels because I’ve been thinking for a while now that they may skimp on solidarity which ‘berry’s are known for. I would go on a rant with how half of you don’t even get to fully utilize your 3G yet you complain cause it’s not included in the phone but I will spare you today!

    I dont know whats worse… that bed comforter or that he smacks his fucking gum in his mouth before talking which almost makes it sound like he’s rattling a cock around in there.

    Idiot.

  • Davva

    Definitely looks cheap compared to the Bold, Tour or Curve 8900.

  • Anon

    Awesome. This reviewer can open a box and chew gum at the same time!

  • marvONE

    I picked mine up at walmart earlier today, the optical pad is lovely, wish it was a little bigger but it is def a game changer for future berry devices

  • Pesci

    HeroFan a leather holster goes a long way. A blackberry needs to be on the hip so not including it and some other stuff like other berries come with sucks

    Would be a better review if the picture was in focus. Reviewer shows back of box without focusing his camera … what’s the point? Viewer cannot read it … is this deliberate?

  • Amir Saad

    No, all blackberry boxes come in the same format and usually the same contents to the best of my knowledge.

  • coolguy

    My guess is that this idiot works at WM and he took the phone home for a minute to “show it off” and then he took it back. Regardless, he is still an idiot and this is probably the worst “un-boxing” ever.

    Jackass.

  • Mari

    OK!How much does the Blackberry Curve 8520 cost without a 2 year contract??

  • Fiyero

    THANK YOU SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME.!!
    We all know a phone comes with manuals and cables and all that hooplah.

    Us technologically literate ppl DNT READ MANUALS!!

    Just show off the phone and go away. hahaha.
