BlackBerry Curve 8530 Comes to Bell
As expected, the stylish, simple, inexpensive BlackBerry Curve 8530 has found its way to Bell Mobility. Scoff as you will at a 2 megapixel camera and 320 x 240 display, the fact that you can get GPS, 3G, Wi-Fi, a trackpad and spanking new OS for fifty bucks is a steal. It’s a definite step…
