Blackberry Curve 8530 Review

The Blackberry Curve 8350 is one of the newest smart phones to be release on the Verizon Wireless network. While the Storm 2 was released just ahead of this phone, people who love their Blackberry should have waited and decided to get this phone instead. The Blackberry Curve 8350 has the ability to connect to any 802.11 b/g network. This means that even if your work doesn’t have the best cell reception, you can still get important emails and other information on your phone. Another great feature that the Curve has is its smaller size. Blackberry has been working to reduce the bulky feel of some of their phones, and the Curve has taken on a large bulk of that.

Another great feature that you will notice with this smartphone is that it has the Blackberry OS 5.0. This is the latest release of the Blackberry operating system. Blackberry OS 6.0 will most likely be released in 2011, at which time you should be able to upgrade your device to the latest and greatest features. Going back to the design of the Blackberry Curve 8530, the overall weight of the mobile device is only 3.74 ounces. This is extremely lightweight, even by the standards of mobile devices.

If you are looking for a device that allows you to do whatever you wish with media, then the media buttons on top of the Curve 8350 will be great. They allow you to quickly and easily access the media that you use all of the time. While these are a great feature for someone who wants to use their Blackberry as a mobile media device, they are not going to be a great feature for the everyday business user. Another change in this model from previous models is that instead of a trackball there is a track pad. This allows you to stop using the noisy trackball which might interrupt meetings or other important events.

There is a camera on this device, however, at only 2.0 mega pixels it isn’t the best in the world. However, you are still going to be able to take easy to view photos, and videos to share with your friends and family. Best of all, you can upload them straight to Facebook or your email from your Blackberry. The battery life on the 8350 is decent, but still could be improved.

Whether you are the type of person who uses their mobile phone to talk, listen to music, email or something else, the Blackberry Curve 8350 will suit you very well. Do not pass up taking a look at this amazing smartphone, especially with the deals that Verizon Wireless is offering on it. You may be able to score a $100 rebate that brings the price of the device below $100.00!
