Blackberry 8530 Smartphone Review
With PDA s being restricted mostly to the business classes and technocrats, RIM has launched the latest handset 8530 Curve, mainly focusing on the new entry level customers who are still to explore Blackberry functionality meaning that target is on the mainstream customers who usually opt for a smartphone. What reveals this is the price of this handset, and the flexible prices offered in the market. You could generally fit this in the front of the Blackberry lineup as a refresher to the now ubiquitous Curve 83xx, and is meant to sit between entry-level models like the Pearl and Pearl Flip, and higher end models like the world-dominating Tour and Bold. So, what are the features? Well, users get an innovative track pad, Bluetooth, GPS, WiFi, 3G coverage and an impressive 2 MP camera. It gives you a hollow feel and certainly a less burden for your pockets. Even then the feel it gives you is something I felt dissatisfied with. So now let us move on.
Design:
Familiar and Fashionable:
The overall design of the Blackberry 8530 is quite identical to that of the Curve 8250. It is slightly taller than the 8530, but narrower, thinner and lighter. The Curve is built with stylish fashionable design aimed at the younger lots. Instead of a chrome bezel, you have a rubber strip around the side with convenience keys bulging out of its sides. The media control keys are located on the top of this device and the fascia colonizes the track pad in place of a traditional track ball. Track pad shapes out to be one prominent thing you would appreciate no matter what kind of person you are. This is one of the strong points in this mobile. Talk, End, Return, and Menu keys have been redesigned. But sadly, this hype is let down by the screen and the LED Indicator light. Rather than the screen, the LED irritates you with it being greater than the tip of a ball point pen. RIM has made sure that overall, with a narrow thin and lighter design this device feels like a much compact device in your hand. It is very plasticy however; we will not go as far as to call it cheap feeling, but RIM is really toeing the border here.
For rough users this is a news that they would love to hear. With the Curve 8530 being smaller and lighter dropping this down will not be a problem compared to the delicate phones in the market. Weighing nearly 106 gm this beauty would never trouble your pockets.
Display:
The display screen is 2.4 inch with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels supporting 65K colors, the same as the original Curve. While this resolution is fine for general use of the phone like navigating through the operating system, emails , calendar or alarm clock etc; this makes a huge difference in when it comes to the part of web browsing. The screen gives you an annoying experience when you try to zoom a full web page, and the appeal is not as good as the one seen in 8900 or storm.
Keyboard:
The keyboard in design is not much different from its siblings in the series. It comes with small plastic keys which are easy enough to type on, though not as fast as the QWERTY keys in 9xxx series. If you are hoping for an escape from the plastic spaced out keys, then you are out of luck. The keys are small and tightly packed and raised such that typing or tapping out email is not a problem. Overall, this QWERTY keyboard is designed for ease and reliability.
Track pad:
What sets the two devices apart is that the 8530 replaces the trackball with an optical trackpad. The 8520 was the first RIM device we saw with this, but we have seen it on all RIM devices since save the trackball pad-less 95xx series. The trackball was not perfect, but we are far from being crazy about its replacement. We definitely appreciate the sensitivity options, but no matter what we have it set to we just cannot be as precise as with the analog ball.
Buttons and Ports:
In the bottom portion you could see a 3.5mm headset jack, microUSB charging along with one or more convenience keys. On the right side there is the volume rocker with a second convenience key. The top houses the play back keys. The battery door features a nice looking carbon fiber finish, which is the only visual difference from the 8520. The camera is just above the door.
