A 3G-enabled BlackBerry just hit Boost Mobile in the form of the Curve 8530. Yay for prepaid customers! It couldn’t come soon enough after MetroPCS picked up this smartphone. With Boost, you have all the freedom that you don’t get with contracts, and you’re basically in charge of how much you want to use and pay for. There is also that unlimited plan for just $50, which basically gets you everything you could want with few limitations.
The BlackBerry Curve 8530 has been around for a while, but now you can nab it without a contract for $249.99. And with that unlimited plan, you can e-mail, tweet and BBM all day and night until your thumbs cramp up.
