  Very Great Phone

PROS: Easy to use trackpad,great picture and color. easy texting(which is awesome).

CONS: cant find what im looking for most of the time cause there are so many apps to summage through which can be a good thing too, if you are a app kind of person!

  This phone is crap

CONS: This is the third 8530 in 6 months. It eats batteries and just dies. Company provided or I would never buy this piece of ****!!

  Battery life

CONS: Extremely short battery life. At first one day, now less than a year in and it's dropped to less than 5hrs. Less if used that's standby time. ;~(

  I think it is the best phone out here. I love I can get the internet anywhere.

PROS: It is a great phone all around.I have had my phone for a year and still don't know all the features.

CONS: I have nothing bad to say about the phone.

  Very good entry-level smartphone

  Smartphone?

PROS: None

CONS: What a joke! This 8530 is anything but smart. I would rather have the cheapest flip phone available. Blackberry should pay people to use this phone. I wouldnt take it if it were free. HORRIBLE in all ways. Worst apps, slow wifi (wifi is soooo slow does it really have wifi or is that just a symbol?), awful interface, battery life sucks, I could go on & on. Dont like anything about it. A telegraph would be more usefull, maybe even morse code with a flashlight.

OVERALL SCORE:1/10

  My thoughts of Blackberry Curve 8530

PROS: I love the phone. I like that it does not come with a trackball. I like how the memory card easily inserts into it. It is small and handy.

CONS: It is brand new and the battery life is supposed to be the better of the two. I feel the battery life does not meet its standards.

OVERALL SCORE:10/10
