Even though Droid has landed, it looks like there is a
BlackBerry invasion for
Black Friday. The
BlackBerry 8530 is now being sold by Verizon and is included in the
Buy One Get One Free BlackBerry Deal at Verizon. So if you buy the
BlackBerry 8530, you can get another BlackBerry or mobile broadband
device for FREE which includes the Gateway LT2016u Netbook.
This could figure nicely into your
BlackBerry Friday shopping deals.
BlackBerry smartphones are finally coming in new colors and the
BlackBerry 8530 comes in a violet. It looks like the
Verizon BlackBerry 8530 is geared more towards consumers.
It comes with
Wi-Fi technology, a 2MP camera, BlackBerry push technology, VZ Navigatorsm, Visual Voice Mail, V CAST Music w/Rhapsody and V CAST Video on Demand, Mobile Broadband Connect and support for popular apps like Facebook, MySpace, and Flickr. The listing proppounds "this smartphone gives you the power to do more of the things that matter in your life. Take your life with you, almost anywhere you go with the new
BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone."
The
BlackBerry Curve 8530 runs
BlackBerry Device Software v5.0 Integrated Email, Phone, SMS, Browser, Calendar, Address Book, and additional organizer applications.
The expandable memory uses swappable microSD/SDHC memory card slot,
supporting up to 16 GB cards today and expected to support next
