hello good afternoon, before buying the phone asks you several times if it was GSM and you said yes, it now send me a CDMA, and here in Venezuela does not serve to place the line, unfortunately I lost my money. Nuy'm disappointed for the purchase, trust what they told me it was a GSM.

Blackberry is still the king of text, talk, & email. This is my first Blackberry. Once I got used to the keyboard, I found typing to be very fast. I had previously used an Android & iPhone virtual keyboard. I thought I liked that but this is way better.

Short extract: First, lets discuss the software. Many tech people claim that Blackberry 5 OS is out of date compared to recent Android and iPhone updates and it is hard to debate that. However, the OS performs well, especially if you are an avid e-mail user like myself.

Short extract: The new Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8530, or Curve2 as it has been referred to, launched on the Sprint Network last month. A solid month after the Verizon Curve 8530 launch. There was not much hype with the launch, and numerous people I have talked to weren't too excited about it either.

Short extract: Sprint has recently introduced the BlackBerry Curve 8530 , which sits between the BlackBerry Pearl and the Tour in this carrier's lineup. Based on my initial impressions, it's hard to not recommend the Curve 8530 to those looking to make the jump to a BlackBerry.

Summary: Verizon’s second Curve is faster and sleeker than the original, but the Web browser needs work.
Short extract: Refined? Yes. Exciting? Not so much. With the BlackBerry Curve 8530 ($99.99 through Verizon Wireless with two-year contract), RIM has tweaked one of the top-selling smart phones over the last year and a half.

Short extract: Research In Motion has been fantastic in their ability to listen to customers and add features to the BlackBerry which have not been traditionally found in what many consider to be an enterprise smartphone.
