    Seems the same as a 8310 except the 8520's screen is 0.16" larger, 200mhz faster and 256mb memory vs 64mb on the 8310.
    Like i said, taken from the blackbery website. Didn't make sense to me either but here's a link comparing the 8520 vs 8900 vs 8300

    HAHAHHHAHAHA OMG... if we had documentation f' ups like that at my work, we'd get screwed. I mean, they indicate a "High-resolution 320x240 pixel color display", and then leave it blank that there's no color display.

    I am guessing that the table is incomplete and never should have been externalized without being complete.

    Prices was quoted on this website's homepage.
    Best part is, if u buy the phone outright Rogers will rape your wallet then offer you crazy bad plans for mth to mth. And forget pay as you go with a data phone. Ultimately, any decent plan Rogers will offer you requires at least a one year commitment. Seems so unfair and shady.

    Ladies and Gents, the 8520's have arrived in stores. If you're in the Montreal area Planete Mobile confirmed they have some in stock

    It always amazes me why people complain about no-term pricing when they can get the phone wherever they want. The reason Rogers, and MANY dealers mark up the phones so much is because they know people will still buy them at that price. Not everyone has an idea of what a phone should cost you know. If you are smart then do some shopping around but don't ***** and complain about Rogers business practices which mimic most others. There are some Rogers dealers that increase the cost of the pricing above and beyond whats shown on Rogers.com by another $100-150 as well.
    $17.50 EPP, $30 6GB w/tethering, $20 iPhone Value Pack, $12 100min LD saver

    something you may want to consider:

    the unlocked devices will lack UMA,
    so you'll have wifi, but wno't be able to use the UMA services

    that may not be a big deal do you, but I would personally prefer having UMA acess

    It's ridiculous how the BlackBerry 8520 is $399 on a 2 and 1 year plan. They are trying so hard to get people stuck in a contract.

    I don't think so if it's originally a Rogers 8220. I know you can unlock and debrand Rogers phones that are eligable for the Unlimited Browsing (for non Smartphones except Nokias E71, N95 & 5800 which will work with UB).

    If UMA eligability is based on the phones IMEI, it won't be a problem whether it's unlocked/debranded or not, as long as it is originally a Rogers phone....
