Bought this phone so my daughter would have email access to receive and respond to college and coach information. The Blackberry 8530 is excellent for that purpose. She also likes the QWERTY keyboard for texting. The bluetooth was easily paired with our vehicle. The 8530 also provided a means of internet access, with rudementary features on a small display. The device is well suited to its intended purpose. When replacement time rolls around, I will definately try to convince her to switch to a more robust 4G device, and OS like Android. My Droid speed, applications, and integration (e.g. web browsing, maps, navigation, dialing, contacts, live events) are far superior to Blackberry. After several years of Blackberry's, I switched.
The blackberry curve 8530 is overall a nice phone. The outside appearance is sleek and inviting. The screen display is nice and the keypad is small but easy to use. The trackpad is also a nice addition.
Great phone wonderful messaging and email features the trackpad is great much better than a trackball. Wifi is a nice feature as well the phone is light and fits well in the hand and the battery life is awesome. it's the best qwerty keyboard i have ever used. And last but not least blackberry messenger which is awesome is the best messaging client available today
This is my first smart phone and I'm really pleased with it so far. Like any new phone, the first few days of use were slow, but since then I've really gotten the hang of it. I bought the phone for use with a small carrier and it's worked great so far. Right now the battery life isn't spectacular, but I think a few drain/recharge cycles should change that. I would definitely pick this phone again!
This is a great phone and definitely worth way more than the $60 price tag! Easy to navigate and super lightweight! Would definitely recommend for someone looking to upgrade to a smartphone. Super easy to use and a classy, sharp looking phone. A+ rating!
