On their end, callers said we sounded great. Volume was loud enough, and our voice came through with almost landline quality. On speakerphone, they said we sounded much the same, except louder. We paired the Curve 8530 with the BlueAnt Q2 and it worked well, with great audio. We also used the phone with a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-ANC7 QuietPoint headphones, and music quality was really rich and full.

We experienced no dropped calls during our test period and had decent signal strength for the most part. However, we didn't get a very strong EV-DO signal, and it would often slip back into 1xRTT speeds. Still, we managed to load pages fairly quickly. The CNET mobile page loaded in just 15 seconds, whereas the full front page loaded in around a minute. As for video quality, it was the same with the other Curve 8530s--images looked grainy for the most part due to the relatively low-resolution screen.

Some features that are unique to the MetroPCS version of the Curve 8530 are MetroPCS's backup service, Metro Banking, the MetroWEB browser (though we personally prefer the stock BlackBerry browser), the Metro411 directory service, GPS with MetroNavigator, and the @Metro App Store.

The RIM BlackBerry Curve 8530 has an 1150mAH lithium ion battery with a rated talk time of 5.4 hours. Our tests revealed a similar talk time of 5 hours and 30 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests, the Curve 8530 has a digital SAR of 1.31 watts per kilogram and a Hearing Aid compatibility rating of M4, T4. MetroPCS packages the BlackBerry Curve 8530 with an AC adapter, a USB cable, a companion CD, and reference material.

The device itself just looks cool. Unlike most newer devices, the Curve 8530 sports an all black design. There is no flashy chrome bezel or leather battery door. Lets face it, the Curve 8530 isn't meant to look good - its meant to have the core BlackBerry components without the bling. The keyboard takes from the original Curve series, and you either love it or hate it. With newer keyboard designs like that of the Bold 9000 and Tour 9630, some may have given up on this spaced-out design. I still think that this is one of the best keyboard layouts, especially if you are new to a full QWERTY device.

As we move on to the "meat" of the device, there are actually a lot of things to take note of. First off, the Curve 8530 is running OS 5.0.0.337. This means that it packs in all the cool features of OS 5.0 that we looked at when I checked out the Bold 9700 - like BBM 5.0, improved browser, improved message options and email and more. One of the biggest additions is obviously the Wifi capability of the device. Until the release of the Storm2, Verizon had not seen Wifi on any devices, so it is a great thing to see CDMA devices being rolled out with Wifi. There are preloaded IM applications, as well as Facebook, Myspace and Flickr. These are sure to please students and those that are heavy into social media. Also included is BlackBerry App World, and all of the organizational tools are available as well. Calendar, tasks, memos, address book and more. Round it out with the BlackBerry browser and BlackBerry Messenger and you're set.

Typing on the Curve 8530 is a breeze. The keyboard is the right size for the device, and the 8530 just sits well in your hand. Its easy to hold on to given the rounded design and rubber sides, and small enough to carry around in your pocket. The device is fast and switching between applications is quick and easy. Some newer applications may have minor display issues on the 8530's lower resolution screen as most have been updated for higher resolution devices. The same issue comes into play with the web browser. Having a full HTML browser on a device is great, but the low resolution is at times hard to read/see. Zooming on the pages helps a bit, but some sites are just too difficult to see in the browser.

Its easy to jump into social media and IM with the 8530, as all of the apps are ready and waiting. IM apps (AIM, GTalk, MSN and Yahoo!) are all ready for downloading, as well as the Facebook and Myspace apps. I like the fact that its easy to pick up the device and not have to search for basic apps like this that the 8530 user will be searching for.

Playing music/video on the Curve 8530 is easy with the dedicated media buttons. I'm not one to listen to much music from my BlackBerry, but the 8530 makes me want to. Having the buttons on top of the device makes for easy access, and really adds to the value of the phone. You can throw it in your pocket or bag and easily skip or pause tracks without having to look at the device. If you're used to carting around a music player in addition to your BlackBerry, you may be able to stick with just one device now. The sound quality from the Curve is good overall. The device speaker isn't bad, but you can get much better sound from a good set of earbuds. The speaker sounds somewhat tinny at times, but you can tweak the settings to get a little more out of it. The included earbuds actually aren't too bad and the music sounds comparable to an iPod with the OEM earbuds.

Overall I think the BlackBerry Curve 8530 is an awesome starter device. I don't think that a seasoned BlackBerry user will pick this device, but they'll rather stick with something more "beefy" like a Bold 9700 or Tour 9630. As an entry level device however, the 8530 can't be beat. It has a great design and feel, awesome trackpad, great media functions and the latest BlackBerry 5.0 OS features. The addition of Wifi is a huge plus for Verizon users. The first full QWERTY device to have Wifi should appeal to a larger userbase than with previous releases. All in all a great jumping off point for those looking to get into the BlackBerry world. Granted some users will take it for a spin and may end up sticking with it. I think the only drawback for a long time BlackBerry user on this device would be adjusting back to the lower resolution screen (and perhaps the camera if you take a lot of pictures). In the end, it's a great device for starting out that should help bring many people over from the non-BlackBerry world.

Aries is a sibling to the BlackBerry Curve 8520, aka Gemini, and is really the same device but with CDMA guts (for deployment by carriers such as Verizon, Sprint, Telus, Bell, Virgin, etc.). Following the naming conventions found in the BlackBerry Curve 83xx series, it's pretty safe to assume that Aries will ultimately go to market as the BlackBerry Curve 8530.

The BlackBerry Curve 8500 series was announced in July 2009 and released the following August with OS version 5.0. This series continued Research in Motion's developing "consumer-oriented" philosophy of the BlackBerry Pearl and Curve 8300 series smartphones with the inclusion of additional multimedia features. It was also the first BlackBerry to introduce the new trackpad vs. the trackball in previous models. A CDMA version was released as the Curve 8530.

The Blackberry Curve 8530 is a follow up to the Curve 8330. It features a track pad and a keyboard below the color screen. It is lighter and has upgrades which include GPS navigation and WiFi. The phone's dimensions are 109x60x13.9 mm. The phone is carried by Attel, Boost Mobile, Cricket, Metro PCS, Sprint and Virgin Mobile. Verizon has discontinued the phone.

The BlackBerry Bold 9700 along with the Storm 2 are the first two devices to feature the newer, snappier OS, though RIM says several other popular devices like Curve 8900, Bold 9000 and Curve 8530 could also get the upgrade. Essentially, everything seems to run faster now. For example, BlackBerry devices were notoriously slow in indexing media; that happens in a jiffy now. 0852c4b9a8
