BlackBerry curve 8530 has all the features that of more expensive smart phones. GPS with turn by turn directions is a real plus. It is loaded with enough free apps to keep the novice busy for quite some time. The Blackberry Curve 8530 is an amazing smartphone that can do everything that an Iphone can. I can write a book on the features alone on this phone. The top of the phone has integrated MP3 player keys to control music and also doubles as a mute key during phone calls that is actually very useful. The external speaker is also on the top. You can use the usb port for chaging. The phone comes with a usb and a wall charger. Then a multipurpose key that can be changed to almost anything you want it to be! On the right side there are thre mutlipurpose keys. The new feature on this smartphone is the scroll ball's replacement. A small touchpad, trackpad, is where the old scroll ball use to be and this new touchpad is very responsive. In my opinion this is the best Blackberry so far and does not cost an arm and a leg to purchase. It抯 a great little phone with hundreds of features to love.

The BlackBerry Curve in my opinion is one of the best phones out there. Now that I have switched to a BlackBerry I haven't missed a call, email, or text. The battery life is great on this phone than my old phone and I am able to take more and better pictures. The phone comes with Wi-Fi setup, and Email setup, what could be better than having a phone that practically does everything by itself? I like the fact that with the BlackBerry while I am in a call I can still look up a number, access my email, access my texts, and change my settings etc. This feature is like the new Iphone. You get a full keyboard. The full keyboard makes texting easier and faster because it looks like a regular keyboard . The memory card storage is behind the battery cover so you never have to worry about accidentally popping it out and losing it. I am Very pleased with my new BlackBerry.
