BlackBerry Curve 8530 is a not very powerful BlackBerry phone released back in 2009, packed with a 528 MHz processor, a 2 MP back facing camera and a small 2.4-inches screen.
The BlackBerry Curve 8530 feels a bit heavy comparing with today standards, with a weight of 3.74 ounces. This device is 4.29 inches long, but it's only able to pack a much smaller 2.4" screen. This device is a little bit thick compared to current devices, being as thick as 0.55 inches.
This cellphone ships with a fast 528 megahertz processor, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 MSM7627 system chip. To handle graphic intensive applications, this device also counts with an Adreno 200 GPU ticking at 128 megahertz.
The BlackBerry Curve 8530 is only equipped with a 2 MP back facing camera. To complete the camera, it also has geo tagging.
Blackberry equipped this cellphone with an average 2.4-inches screen, and a resolution of 240 x 320 (QVGA), making everything look good.
This cellphone has a mediocre 1150 mAh Li-Ion removable battery that provides the BlackBerry Curve 8530 a poor battery durationcompared to other devices. This cellphone has an estimated 4.5 hs talk time and a 252 hours stand by time according to Blackberry.
This phone provides wifi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a wireless modem or router). The BlackBerry Curve 8530 doesn't use a SIM card, because it doesn't support GSM services and it can work with CDMA carriers.
This phone also comes with a couple of nice features such as Bluetooth (2.1) and GPS Geolocation, and Light Sensor.
This cellphone is priced about 65 dollars, which is high for this kind of phone.
