BlackBerry Curve 8530: Hands-on Video

Cnet have recently been lucky enough to get their hands-on the Verizon BlackBerry Curve 8530, this handset is not a high-end model but is still pretty impressive.

The main areas where you can tell cuts have been made are with the overall build quality of the device, also the keyboard is not as good as some other models and the display is not as clear as some models (only offering a resolution of 320×240).

The handset does however offer dedicated media control buttons and a 3.5 mm headset jack, also the handset has integrated WiFi, other connectivity options include Bluetooth, 3G and GPS.

All in all the handset seems to be a pretty good messaging device, however those of you wanting a great web experience and a super-clear display this handset is not for you.
