[AngeLEyes8100]

This doesn't have sims card right? I am getting this phone and putting my memory card in. Do i need to buy sims card for this phone or it doesn't take it and doesn't need it? I'm a new blackberry owner, thanks

[hhhh7838]

[KemetBlack]

can you unlock this phone somebody help me asap

[thelimerunner]

@KemetBlack As far as I know, it's not possible to unlock a CDMA phone. However, if you get the GSM version, like T-Mobile and AT&T use, it will be unlock-able.

[TheKillerMafiaHunter]

thumbs up if u have this phone like me!

[LIVEPCGAMER]

can it be unlocked ??

[mrsjustinbforever]

I want this phone sooooo bad! But i gotta wait about another year..i know have the samsung fascinate and i absoultly HATE ITT! :P

[McMaGGoTs]

@mrsjustinbforever how do you insert the sim card?



[mrsjustinbforever]

@McMaGGoTs On what phone?

[PerkyBrownie]

@McMaGGoTs verizon doesnt have sim cards. it's built in.

[jwemt81]

This phone is okay. I'd rate it about a 6 or 7 out of 10. I had it for about 10 months, but I just sold it on ebay and bought a got a Samsung Fascinate since that's what my husband has and I love it. This Blackberry was great for email and using Facebook, but web browsing isn't as good as it is on Android. The camera on it was okay, but I've seen better on previous phones I have owned. If all you really care about is using it for email, texting, and phone calls, then it's a good device.

[ixMeRKzProductions]

@jwemt81 Is It Good For FaceBook ?? BTW I DONT HAVE FACEBOOK AS AN APP :)



[McMaGGoTs]

@jwemt81 how do you insert the simcard?

[PivotmasterXH]

wow, now i can open a box!

[Kaderderz137]

ugh ... the battery sucks. but overall the phone is great. 

[chrispeace42]

i have this phone i hate it. blackberry sucks. i cant wait to upgrade to iphone or android phone!

[soulpimps]

@chrispeace42 is all aobut bbm dude

[Megaboy2boy]

can someone explain to me what is boost and virgin moble???

[IcyasIce]

@Megaboy2boy Prepaidd Versions of Sprint

[packerbacker16]

this phone sucks, I'm going on my 3rd return for a new one.

[mandaromi]

ugly green backround....

[sprucepantherkmt]

u sound drunk or high

[tredgkskate]

love this phone jus got it for my bday like 6 days ago haha

[JasnoGT]

Got mine on Boost Mobile last weekend...no complaints!! Its just like the one I had on Sprint a year ago before I switched to android. Now Im back with BB and love that im only gonna pay $60 a month (then it shrinks after 6 months)

I briefly had a Droid Incredible then I took it back. The phone was awesome but Verizon was gonna wallet rape me every month paying $25 MORE than Im paying for my BoostBerry...and with only 250 texts?... I'll just use my ipod touch for Angry Birds..thank u very much!

[arichie24]

tthis is what im doing.im saving up for the phone even tough ive got a pretty good phonneee but i hatee it..does anyone know how much this is inn british poundsss??? xxx

[xoxoSexaySamxoxo]

I WANT THAT PHONE. i hate my chocolate touch :/

[MASON7497]

@xoxoSexaySamxoxo hahaha me too! im getting this one. my dam chocolate has the worst touch screen ever!

[MasterAnzio]

guys im not sure if i should get this phone for boost or virgin mobile? boost is cheaper but both prepaid companies run off of sprints CDMA network, im thinking that virgin mobile has better quality but boost is cheaper. which should i get?

[DenniseOfficialTV]

@MasterAnzio BOOST MOBILE !!!! Lol , it has great quality & the 8530 is currently $159.99 for boost ! :D

[xMaryVAx]

@DenniseOfficialTV The 8530 is $199 with Boost Mobile here in VA. But it's 60 bucks a month for unlimited EVERYTHING...including the BlackBerry connect. :D

[Avatarblackwolf]

@xMaryVAx $200 here in Boston, bought the Boost Blackberry 8530 on New Years eve, and unlike the Verizon BlackBerry, the Boost Mobile comes with the SD card. The $60 a month is a great deal, cant go wrong.

[xMaryVAx]

@Avatarblackwolf When I bought mine, the packaging said it came with a 64MB (or something like that) but it was a 2GB card! :D I'm 100% happier with my Boost service than I EVER was with Verizon!

[J90lude]

I just got this phone today for free. I aint complaining at all. It's wayy better than the 8330.

[mikojack22]

great review!!, short but pretty accurate, thnx for the info, now i decided to buy this phone

[trueyou2]

i wanna see what the calendar looks like.

[clubpenscoot180]

i'm thinking about getting this for my upgrade but since i currently have the env touch its going to take a while to adjust to the blackberry's qwerty keyboard :P

[cappinkid]

@clubpenscoot180 yeah i lol i have an env touch too and upgrading to this phone

[clubpenscoot180]

@cappinkid OMG SISTERS! XD i'm upgrading to this too because my env touch spaz's and turns off by itsself alot -__-

[jwemt81]

I have this Blackberry and it's much better than the older Curve models. It never freezes and I love the carbon fiber backing. It's very durable. I also love the track pad. It's much better than the old track balls.

[lizzie0525]

thank god your review isnt like the rest of them taking 10 to open the box.you get straight to the point.

[letstalkdotcom]

Very cool video!

[MsNJohnson]

Can you store documents on this phone?

[jb1zzle2010]

im getting mine in couple months = ]

[kekewat07]

i got the purple one a couple days ago it seems fine to me

[juniorpong1]

@kekewat07 how is the trackpad????....has it given you any problems at all??

[TheUnkn0wnProduction]

Nah its awesome @juniorpong1

[kekewat07]

@juniorpong1 its works great!!

one thing is sometimes it acts kind of slow but i dont know if thats the trackpad or my phone because i have not updated yet

[juniorpong1]

@kekewat07 have you adjusted the sensitivity of it yet? and im guessin its waaaayyy better than that trackball lol

[XxAiRuNxX894]

im getting this phone sometime this week:] heard it wuz pretty throwed but the down side wuz the battery life is that true?

[frenchhorn97]

ahhh i got mine last month and it is awesome!!! it took me forever to get over the fact that i have my first blackberry!!!

[captainDorkwadd]

Getting this Phone this Week on Friday :) Pretty Happy about getting it!

[BRUTA1xBR3AKD0WN]

[Sgthavoc12]

@BRUTA1xBR3AKD0WN i just upped my contract to a 2 year contract and got this fone free

[daKrew8]

How do u take off the battery cover off properly?

[gurlyyoyp]

[DjDivado]

[weezystheshit]

[cjmcdonald44]

[MsMidnightBeast]

Do it come with brickbreaker?

[123end456]

@MsMidnightBeast yes it does

[ItsEasierToFallApart]

@MsMidnightBeast minee did 

[llkristyll]

Get this phone thru Virgin Mobile prepaid and save yourself a ton of money while NOT being stuck in a contract! :o)

[thesenatormatt]

shitty review

[TheZombiehunter16]

Do you need to purchase a internet plan when you buy the Curve?

[taraax14]

@TheZombiehunter16 yes u do

[nickjluva97]

@TheZombiehunter16 yes

[TuRkmEnOkaN]

8520/8530  whats diff?

[TheItaly296]

im ganna get that phone noww! Its soo siik

[pat52205]

@TheItaly296 no its not. its such a mediocre phone compared to what else verizon offers. Go with the old 9650 if your on verizon.

[TheOneBun]

Good, speedy review. Thanks.

[eXternal2007]

wow.. im glad you dont take like 15 minutes to flip the box open and take out the contents like every other video haha

[Brock2698]

im getting this phone today

[DansProductionz]

hey does anyone know if you could just pay for texting and calling? because that all i need considering i have an ipod touch for wifi and internet use etc. Any suggestions? or maybe how much will the bill cost?

[acethander]

And you need to have a data plan to access bb messenger and some third party applications.

[hall0ween138]

You have to buy a data plan for this phone which boasts wifi capabilities.. I don't get it. If I had wifi why would I need the data plan? Curious..

[RobynHode8]

@hall0ween138 Because you will probably be in areas where there is no wifi.

[J90lude]

I just might have to upgrade from my slow ass 8330!

[RainbowUnicornz10]

For verizon, can you trade in the old blackberry curve for the 8530 if your old one has broken down?

[kiusthugs]

Hey does it really come with headphones... Because in other reveiws i dont see one in theres.

[bromanlaca]

@kiusthugs no headphones in mines.just data cable and wall charger.

[BMJTRM]

@bromanlaca RIGHT!

[DanceClubMassacare0]

i wanna see how the web browsing is

[44444demon44444]

hey um i got soem questions..

how much extra does unlimited text go for zerizon if i were to get it in a 1 yr contract and a 2 yr contract plz help me in anyway possible before i buy this phone =]

[Deckhardt2]

For me it would be $100 a month for unlimited txt and mobile web and i think 500 minutes

[ChicBookFiend]

@44444demon44444

It depends on how much talk minutes you'd want. You can pay $59.99 for 450 talk minutes and unlimited text. Bear in mind that you also have to pay the BB data plan.

[allierox97]

can u get facebook on here?

[xclaimer365]

duh!!!!! it's a blackberry so there's obviously a Facebook app and you can go the internet to go to facebook

[PacorroBK]

im working where that phone is manufacturing , flextronics in mexico , we do two version verizon and sprint , i can say this phone is only shit, we have many scrap , of 1800 phones produced 200 have fails, are a proyect whit many problems in productions lines , i dont recomend this phone check it where was made, if are from mexico , your phone is shit

[DuckyPenguin]

@PacorroBK

Honestly, your input here is made totally irrelevant in my eyes due to the lack of care or thought you put into your comments. If you're trying to make a valid point about something, try to make it look half decent for people who are reading it. It doesn't say much about the value of your opinion, ya know?

[DPRI14]

should i get this or the storm 2

[AiraBabesz]

8520 did you meant?

[BERTILKAU]

no there is a new version

[MrVee95]

cool, thanks dude, ordered it :)

[MrVee95]

i dont know if i should get this or the BB 9700 :\

[soccerraj]

9700 for sure mate..

[jga1196]

I got this phone today! It works rele well and I LOVE the trackpad but I suggest getting a case for it because the phone feels too light and cheap just holding it in the hand

[DiZzyIzAn3RD]

can i go to the crackberry site from my phone and download themes for my 8530 just like i did my tour? because i ordered the 8530, and i'm waiting for it to arrive, and on my tour i used to download the themes straight from my phone.

[zackam1306]

when they say the new curve has an optical mouse what does that mean?

[ProZacPercussion]

its just a camera type of mouse, it doesnt have the trackball it just senses finger movement

[xxmeppiexx]

Question- Would it be completely pointless for me to get this phone if I don't use internet? [I text, pic msg, vid msg, and use mp3, but not internet] Would it be completely pointless? Because I want a GOOD phone that will work and not freeze constantly and stuff like other crappy verizon phones.

[leabuelo]

@xxmeppiexx well its a very good phone

you should get it maybe when u get it ull star to use the internet and all that stuff cause is really cool but its your choice

[ProZacPercussion]

yes it would pretty much be pointless, you have to pay an extra $30 a month with verizon to have this phone for the data plan, because its always using 3g.

[JLight619]

point is, this phone is good for new blackberry users, its light, 3g, wifi, easy to use, the bold doesnt have wi-fi and the trackball on the tour is horrible, the trackpad on this is legit, its just what u like, everyone likes different shit, so get what u want this is perfect for a 1st time bb user

[queenrocks77]

This is going to be my next phone. I have an 8330 but that track pad just looks so awesome!

[zuantuba]

what is difference from 8520??

[RyansShowTV]

wi fi

[Jackmiles2006]

The 8530 has 3G, and is for CDMA networks.

[JAD96Gold]

8520 has diff back and it has a trackball and there isnt play, fast forward, etc. on the top of the device

[cjc0522]

do you have any idea what your talking about?

[Motez19]

thats not true, it doesnt have trackball and there is play fast forward etc

[yoitzvic]

Do u Have Any idea what your talking about ? the 8320 has a trackball and there isint the play fast forward , etc the 8520 has everything this phone doesn it just doesnt have gps same fone diffrent model for gsm carriers .!

[jtsblocks]

can you put itunes on a blackberry or what program do you use?

[MikeyyMinic]

@jtsblocks

you can sync your blackberry with your itunes through a software that comes with the new blackberrys:)

[marti810]

yeah i believe the program is called mac for blackberry... i think im not 100% on the name.

[dadivproductions]

wait can use internet oin the car and outside of the house or is the wifi only for ur house

[FHC3JC]

Whats the difference between the 8520 and the 8530?

[J90lude]

The 8530 has GPS

The 8530 doesn't FAIL!!

[ryanbg328]

Those are the same phones, FAIL!

[JAD96Gold]

no sense at alll!!!!

[J90lude]

I meant to say the 8530 has GPS and the 8520 doesn't have GPS

[FHC3JC]

Is this better than the Tour 9630 or the Javelin?

[wnd2994]

of course not....this phone is awesome but u cant compare with these 2 other bb!

[kaaliyah3000]

@wnd2994

Why do say that, might I ask? Its about time for my upgrade in a month and I'm considering either this curve or a tour.

Money factor aside, which would you suggest to a 1st time bb user?

[bxshorty25]

i would say that it isnt better than the tour, but the javelin 8900 has no 3g so in that sense it is better than the last mentioned since 8530 for sprint has 3g ;)

[J90lude]

The tour trackball sucks FTL

[JustusKing99]

I just got this phone. It is a beast. It has wifi but you have to buy internet anyway which is 30 bucks a month. You have to get it to :(

[sinkingoxygen]

Wait a minute, so can you buy this phone and connect it to the internet through wifi without a data plan or not?

[sprintuserman]

He really slammed the shit out of the phone at the end.

[SleeplessGarden90]

how much does it cost u a month??

[lilcutegurl09]

yy is he going so fast ?

[anthony12m]

i have this phone it so cool but if you cant use the internet take the battery and put it back in it will work i love it

[frbjeffj]

Sheesh.. I just bought this 9530 and there was no friggin headphones at all .. sucks ... :(

[PlayStation310Lakers]

Is there a way I can upgrade to this without paying $30 for Internet and email

[banana8rambo]

i think bold 9700 is better

[JEudave13]

it is.. but the bold doesnt have wi fi:(

[banana8rambo]

really? thks

[JEudave13]

ya bro sucks ballss

[LemonPoop13]

I want this. alooot

[ahhhhmann]

should i get this or the storm 2

[natedornbirer]

UGH! a 2.0 megapix camera!? What were they thinking!? That's not an upgrade at all.

[skittleschocolate]

the old one ad 1.3 didnt itt? and it looks way better.

[MachikaKuro]

nope 8330 has 2.0mp camra so no change.

[skittleschocolate]

meh. its still sick

[onlocash]

He's talking in normal speed

nothing wrong with that

You could always hit pause if it's too fast for you lol

FYI by dafault memory cleaning is disabled. Now that I enabled it on my Tour my phone runs a lot faster

[ahhhhmann]

do you need an internet plan for this

[hurricanegame73]

Whats the shortcut to the "help me" screen?

[savtwo]

alt+shift+H
