Blackberry Curve 8530 Smartphone from Virgin Mobile

Stylish, fun, efficient, and very affordable is what the Blackberry Curve 8530 Smartphone from Virgin Mobile is.

I was given this unique, classy, and functional phone as a gift. Wow, what a gift this phone has been to me. The Blackberry Curve 8530 is an amazing phone with exceptional features along with Virgin Mobile's award winning prepaid pay-as-you-go service which is like no other.

Virgin Mobile has become a big contender in the cell phone industry now that they are providing new smartphones along with special rate calling and internet plans that are some of the best and lowest available on the market today.

It actually took awhile for me to learn how to use the phone and I know that it may sound unbelievable to people that know how to use smartphones, but I needed a little help, so I called customer service and the representatives at Virgin Mobile were very good at assisting me, answered many questions that I had, and helped me learn how to use the Blackberry.

The BlackBerry Curve 8530 for Virgin Mobile is like Sprint's variation of the smartphone, with special features such as a 2-megapixel camera, video capture, full QWERTY keyboard, 3G support, e-mail, speakerphone, music player, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone jack, memory card slot, GPS navigation, and access to apps. A 2 Gigabyte Micro SD card is included with the Blackberry. The phone also supports e-mail for up to eleven accounts and connects to Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange.

The Curve 8530 is a dual-band EV-DO (850/1900 MHz) phone, which means that it can reach 3G data speeds, making it great for streaming radio, browsing the internet, and highly efficient to handle a variety of apps. In fact, there is a link to an area called BlackBerry App World and there you will find thousands of free and paid apps available from third-parties, such as apps for Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Google Maps. The phone also has the ability to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots.

After purchasing the BlackBerry Curve from Virgin Mobile, you will then be able to choose one of their special low cost Beyond Talk Plans.

The Beyond Talk Plans start at only $25.00 a month and provide 300 talk minutes and unlimited internet and text messaging. For an additional $10.00 a month, you can choose to add BlackBerry data offered through BIS. For $40.00 a month, you get 1,200 talk minutes with unlimited internet and text messaging and the $60.00 plan gives you unlimited minutes, internet, and text messaging. You get all of this with absolutely no credit checks, no contracts, and no activation fees. It is free to have the phone shipped to you and it comes with a full 30 day money back guarantee.

What I like about the Virgin Mobile Beyond Talk Plans is that they all include unlimited internet, messaging, email, and data with 3G nationwide coverage for very low prices with no contracts! This is virtually non existent with any other cell phone provider.
