BlackBerry’s newest consumer-class QWERTY smartphone — the Curve 8520 — seemed like a lock to launch on Vodafone UK on account of some scanned advertising a little while back, and sure enough, here it is. Considering that you can get virtually any phone in your wildest dreams for free on Voda as long as you pair it with an appropriately pricey contract, we’re not sure why you’d take up their offer of the 8520, really — especially considering that it tops out at EDGE speeds in a country where EDGE-only phones are antiquities better suited for museums than pockets. We guess that’d be what the “Why get this” section on the carrier’s product page is for, eh?
