Now featuring built-in GPS capabilities and trackpad navigation
“Should I get the new BlackBerry® Curve™ 8530 smartphone?” is a question many people are asking this holiday season. With so many features there is much to be said for it. Consider these facts:
Built-in GPS
GPS on your BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone works with BlackBerry® Maps to pinpoint your location and get turn-by-turn directions. Try selecting a contact from your address book to get precise directions to the contact’s location. Or type in keywords like “restaurants” or “gas stations” and off you go.
Easy-to-use
The BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone is designed to be intuitive and comfortable. Like a laptop, the trackpad lets you glide your finger for fast and precise scrolling through websites, menus, and icons. The 35-key backlit QWERTY keyboard lets you type messages quickly. And the bright 320×240 pixel screen displays more than 65,000 colors for a great viewing experience.
Connect at 3G speeds
The BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone is the first BlackBerry Curve smartphone to feature 3G technology for fast downloads and uploads. That lets you spend less time waiting and more time doing what you love.
Wi-Fi® capabilities
As if that weren’t enough, the new BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone comes with:
- Dedicated media keys
- Bluetooth capabilities
- Integrated hands-free speakerphone
- Out-of-the box Mac synchronization
- 256MB flash memory
- 4.5 hours talk time; 10.5 days standby time
Connect to BlackBerry data services through Wi-Fi hotspots at home, work, or places like airports or coffee shops. Wi-Fi connections frequently offer faster download speeds compared to cellular networks. And free or low-cost hotspots can reduce monthly data costs.
Media savvy
Take photos and record videos1, 2, 3 with the 2.0-megapixel digital camera, then post them to Facebook®, Flickr®, and MySpace™. You can even sync your iTunes® or Windows Media Player music between your computer and smartphone with BlackBerry® Media Sync.
