better than i expected

Here are some highlights of the phone: * Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g) * Bluetooth 2.1 * GPS * 256mb internal memory * 528MHz processor * 2.0mp camera * Dedicated media keys * microSD expandable up to 32gb Blackberry 8530 slightly smaller than other BlackBerry models. It doesn't have any flashy onyx or chrome highlighting. The all black design look sporty. The rubberized surrounding feels good in your hands and contributes to the overall simplicity. When compared to the old Curve 8330 it is slightly thinner, a little taller, and a little less wide Connectivity Luckily, like with the new Storm2, BlackBerry added Wi-Fi! As some of you know, Wi-Fi. Only certain phones previously had Wi-Fi, but now it seems every new smart phone that rolls out is getting it. Finally. The Curve, unlike the Storm2 and Tour, is CDMA only. This means that it can not be used on GSM networks. Unfortunately they only gave it a 1xEV-DO rev.0 data connection and not the rev.A, which is a little bit faster Camera & Media The camera on the Curve could be better. It's only 2 megapixels and doesn't include a flash. Pictures are okay if you're in a well lit room, but they come out a bit grainy You can pretty much forget about getting good pictures in low light situations. Here is a picture taken in best case scenario with good lighting. They QWERTY keyboard somehow feels bigger to your thumbs than it appears. This is due to the way BlackBerry angled the top of the keys. However, after using the keyboard on the BlackBerry Tour for a bit, I prefer the Tour. BlackBerry made the keys on the two devices slightly different. I really liked the addition of the trackpad. It seems that BlackBerry is moving away from the noisy trackball. It feels like a little mouse for your thumb, to put it simply. I had no problem getting used to it. I think that previous trackball users will really appreciate the trackpad. The standard BlackBerry send, menu, back, and end surround the trackpad extending off of the same piece of plastic used for the screen.
