You may wonder why I’m talking about the Blackberry 8530 Curve cell phone after only just talking about the Blackberry Curve 8330, and the answer is, frankly, simple.  The Blackberry Curve 8530 will offer a few new features that the 8330 did not, and thus, it bears some discussion.

The BlackBerry Curve 8530 Comes with a two megapixel camera with a 5X digital zoom, video recording capability, the Blackberry trackball, a thirty five key QWERTY keyboard, media keys, Blackberry Maps, an integrated speaker and microphone, Bluetooth connectivity, GPS, support for a variety of video and audio formats, e911 capability, and a battery capable of generating four and a half hours of talk time.

So you can see there are some new features here–a slightly longer lived battery, e911 capability which can be a lifesaver in and of itself–among the plenty of standard features, like that horrible Blackberry trackball that’s more sensitive than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.

If you liked the 8330, then there’s not too much doubt you’ll really like the Blackberry 8530.
