Specs


BlackBerry Curve 8530

Compare This Phone
Now introduced by Verizon Wireless is the BlackBerry Curve 8530. This phone definitely has it’s up and downs. For starters, the 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, the Optical Trackpad, OS 5.0, a 2 Megapixel Camera, Full QWERTY Keyboard, and a few design changes are all very amiable qualities. Unfortunately any 3G usage cuts down on the Battery life, and there is a definite build difference between the 8530 and what would be a higher-end BlackBerry.
