Good |
- THE GOOD
"The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8530 offers ease of use and a compact design. Its features include Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth, GPS, and a 2-megapixel camera."
- THE BAD
The smartphone feels a bit cheap and it has a low-resolution screen. Its call quality could be better.
- THE BOTTOM LINE
"Some design issues aside, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8530 is a great value for Sprint customers looking for an entry-level smartphone."

Great product for value
Created: 21/05/13
) Easy to use, very good working condition. I really missed having a Blackberry and now that everyone has all touch smartphones, it got pretty boring to have an Iphone. I love the color and miss the buttons! I love the blackberry because i can fit it in my pocket and won't fall out.

I didn't get any information on it, in order to activate it you need the serial code which is given to you after flash including the new phone number both of witch I did not receive.
Not able to use it where I live.

) I bought beacause the price was a temptation. Unfortunately, I canot use it in the Virgin Islands where I live, so I had to return it without using it.
Decent phone, great music player
Created: 24/04/13
This is a decent phone for an older model. I bought it for my husband, who likes having a hardware keyboard, but he didn't want a Blackberry. I put all my music on it, and it's great for that. The speaker is fairly loud, with decent sound quality. It does have the infamous Blackberry startup speed, although it takes roughly 3 minutes, which is better than it could be. The camera seems to be pretty good, but since I'm not using it as a phone, I can't say how good that is. I would assume the sound quality is good as a phone as well.
