Good phone can do a lot
I really like the fact that I can do so many different things with it. I've never had a smart phone before and the things this phone can do are amazing. Compose a text while making a call. Email, send texts,use messenger and there are so many apps out there.
The only (minor) disadvantages I've come across so far as the ball can be a bit touchy sometimes. I've heard the ball on this model likes to die, mine hasn't but be wary of that. It doesn't get very good signal in my apartment but that might have more to do with my provider and the internet is a bit slow. The ironic thing is out of all the things this phone can do it can't make a simple to do list, I had to download an app for that.
But overall this is a very neat phone, I would highly recommend this phone to anyone who is looking to get a PDA to help themselves me more organized and connected.Lire l'avis complet...
Good Phone. Works nice! TONS of apps from BBerry!
Very good phone. battery life is pretty good. Charge every night if you use your phone constantly, every other night if used moderately. If you are a social network junkie and an IMer this will work very good for you. you can receive e-mails and IMs from several different accounts and stay loged into them all the time. All your Messages (e-mail, IM, text, MMS,) come in one message folder to view then in one click wich is nice. don't have to go through menus to view each one. Works really good if you run a buisness also, like a contractor for example, like I am. got an app to to create and e-mail Ms office documents like job estimates and invoices right from this phone. BBerry has TONS of apps for every kind of person for this phone. MP3 player works great. Camera works and takes good clear pics and vids. Dispite what some other people on ebay might say, THIS PHONE COMES WITH OS 5.0 and the BBerry program for your computer will update it as soon as a new one comes out. Overall operation of the phone is smooth. does everything that a touch screen phone will do except you have a keyboard and a mouse. It seems to be made pretty durable. I put mine in an otter box! 3g internet works pretty fast for a phone.(not a computer) It can take a while to load apps sometimes but only sometimes. Not alot of space for apps because apps get stored in the phones onboard memory about 120 MB and not the expandable SD card. The SD card on the other hand is 1 GB. I have 168 MP3 songs, about 40 pics, 2, 5 min. videos, and about 60 job documents and it still has a couple of MB of free space. The phone will support 2, 4, 8, and 32 GB micro SDHC cards. Never had a BBerry before but I'm starting to see what all the hype is about. Hope this helps!Lire l'avis complet...
Pretty good, if I do say so myself..
I originally had the Sanyo Incognito which is a good phone in my opinion, however I kinda got tired of flipping the little switch to unlock the fron screen, and I also got tired of having to flip it open to use it (First flip phone.). Now the 8330 on the other hand is perfect with a few minor minor issues. The keys are big and not hard to get to, sound quality is great, I can seem to always find what I need when I need it. Lightweight and slim, also the interface is not cluttered with a whole bunch of icons. However, granted I just received it and am still playing with it (I dont need no stinkin directions!!!), I have yet to find a hotkey which will lock the keyboard. As of this writing I have to go to apps and scroll down to the keyboard lock icon. OOPS!!! forgot to say that scrolling is real simple, smooth, and comfortable. Anyway, the battery life is okay at best. It does seeem to go down rather quickly, but that also depends on the apps you are using at the time. Also, I wish they had the microSD card located on the outside of the phone for easy access. Right now its located under the battery. BB appworld cool too. LOTS of apps to buy and download for free. LOVE the ability to leave reviews and screenshots for each app. Makes selecting alot easier. Other than that I would highly recommend the BB 8330.Lire l'avis complet...
Boost Blackberry Curve 8330
This is a great phone. I absolutely love it, however, I just wish that it came with the option of putting my Boost SIM card in from my other Boost phone and also with the option of PTT (push to talk) direct connect talking like my last phone. I think that since it is a Boost phone, it should have come with these options. I feel that all phones from a specific carrier should have the same options for all their phones, not some of them. If one phone from a specific carrier has a SIM card, then all should have SIM cards; & if one has the PTT options, then all phones from that carrier should have that option. Other than that, this is an excellent phone with no problems. It is worth the money.Lire l'avis complet...

I pretty much love everthing about this phone, i love boost, this is my third boost phone lol, they have all been good phones just i wanted better lol and this is by far the best, i've been with boost for 3 years now and nothing compares to their price and service, the phone is great, love how many apps there are out there, theres an app for everything, the 3g internet is so fast on it, can take a pics and then the next sec upload it to facebook, just an overall amazing phone, wish more of the apps were free but there still are alot of free apps, but i've had an android phone, not for boost and every andriod phone i know has like 3 times the free apps, like if i want something they would get for free its not mush but still lol, oh other then having to buy some apps, the battery seems to suck, like idk why, i get like 6 hours and then need to charge it again thats with me not using it much, maybe checking it and texting every 20 mins, but other then that i rate the phone an 8/10, if you want a smart phone, this is it, if you want a gps this is it, free app for that by the way lol, if you wanna be able to have an mp3 player this is in, takes good pictures, just can say enough about it lol,Lire l'avis complet...
Good smartphone, bad battery duration
I bought this phone for my wife, who likes to chat and use social networks on the go. This blackberry curve is a nice phone, is slim, light, the screen resolution is very good, takes terrific pictures but has no flash so you need good light to take them. With blackberry app world you can download apps like facebook (which by the way, sometimes causes the phone system to crash), twitter, and so on.
The bad: The battery duration is terrible. My wife makes a low amount of calls but anyways, she need to connect the phone to the charger by the mid day because the battery is draining out. This is a point to consider. I don´t know if i need to buy some larger duration battery, but this is dissapointing considering any phone should last at least the entire day.Lire l'avis complet...
boost mobile blackberry curve 8330
The blackberry curve 8330 boost , I purchased this phone as a back up for my
Current Boost Phone . What I like about this phone is the CDMA 3G net work , much better than the IDEN net work faster , like the software and the usb cable that allows data transfer between computer and phone , also came with a memory card too , the blackberry app store works well only down fall to this phone is no push to talk boost and sprint havnt up graded the push to talk to the push to talk to the cdma net work so for now its a trade off 3G For no churp but considering the 60 dollar a mounth unlimted , compared to other
phone services its the best deal out there ive foundLire l'avis complet...
blackberry 8330
I used to have a phone through t-molile that was 90 dollars a month.I saw the advertisement where i can get a blackberry through boost.I have always loved blackberrys as the touchscreen sometimes freezes and hard to text.Plus with the boost mobile shrinkage plan my bill can be reduced to 45 a month.That's half of what i was spending on t-mobile.Now i choose the blackberry 8330 as i am rough on phones.The knock on blackberrys is that the internet sucks.Well i can manage on my phone until i get home to my own computer.The call quality is good and for the price you can't beat it!! Now eventually i will bet the 8530 through boost,but buy it on ebay and save a few dollars.Lire l'avis complet...
A good phone!
The blackberry 8530 is a very good phone, if you already like Blackberry then this phone will be great for you. I personally like a bigger screen for surfing the internet and I am use to a touch screen, so I was looking for something different, but many other people like Blackberry for its reliability, long battery life, and good quality. Overall a very good phone if you dont need a touch screen, or a big screen.Lire l'avis complet...
Simply the Best Prepaid Phone Available
As a former AT&T iPhone user disenfranchised by steadily increasing hidden fees, I decided to give Boost Mobile a try when they began carrying the Blackberry Curve 8330. While it was a great phone for it's day, the 8330 was several years old and severely lacking on memory by the time Boost picked it up, making it less than ideal for running multiple applications.
Boost heard the concerns of their customers and quickly picked up the much more efficient Blackberry Curve 8530, which trumps the older 8330 in nearly every way. Aesthetically, the most notable feature is the lack of a trackball, which was notorious for getting clogged with pocket lint. It has been replaced by a new touch-sensitive trackpad, which admittedly takes some getting used to, but widely outperforms the trackball.
The physical size of the 8530 is very similar to its predecessor, albeit just a bit thinner. You will find the button layout to be nearly identical as well, although the 8530 has unfortunately opted for smaller shift keys, which is a small gripe and can be easily adjusted to. The addition of rewind, play/pause and fast forward keys have been added to the top of the phone, which are a welcome addition for those that prefer keeping their Blackberry holstered while listening to music.
Not much has changed in the way of the screen, as the size and resolution are identical to the 8330, although the 8530's appears to be slightly brighter. The phone comes equipped with the final version of the 5.0 OS, although the menu layout has improved from the 8330 - there are now 6 shortcuts available on the home screen, and the application icons themselves are larger, making them more distinguishable.
The voice reception is excellent on both the handset and included headphones with built-in mic. The speakerphone is loud and audible, and is even loud enough to listen to music in a small room. Web browsing is much improved thanks to the addition of Wi-Fi capability.
Unfortunately, the 8530 does not come packed in with a holster like the 8330 did, which most BB users know can tremendously help with battery life. This leads me to the only 2 downfalls of the 8530 in comparison to it's older brethren - the battery life is somewhat shorter, and the 2MP camera does not have a flash! This may not be detrimental, but is still inexcusable considering much older BBs have this feature.
What really makes this phone stand out from the pack though, is that it comes equipped with 256MB of on-board memory, up from a measly 96MB on the 8330. This means that you will no longer need to reset your phone on a daily basis, and will no longer find yourself doing a battery pull at inopportune times. With the vast and quickly-expanding Blackberry App World, you'll have plenty of room for the great apps, many of them free - including Facebook, Twitter, Pandora and Google Maps. Room for additional pictures, documents and music is no problem either, as the upgradable memory slot accommodates all sizes of MircoSD cards.
If you're a smartphone user that has grown tired of being stuck in a multi-year contract with one of the big companies and find your bill to be ever-increasing, even when staying within limits, this phone is for you. It's not quite an iPhone 4 or Droid X, but with many of the same apps for only $60 per month and the opportunity to shrink your bill to $45 after 18 on-time monthly payments, it's really hard to turn down - simply the best prepaid phone available.Lire l'avis complet...
