Everyone nowadays seems to be upgrading to a smartphone, since regular mobile phones cannot use apps and stuff like that, I guess Alltel saw the trend and decided to maximize on the opportunity and extended their line of smartphones with the BlackBerry Curve 8530 Smartphone.

The new Blackberry Curve 8530 features a 320×240 resolution display, a 2 Megapixel camera with video recording, a trackpad for easy navigation, a full QWERTY keyboard as most smartphone has, built-in GPS with BlackBerry Maps and geo-tagging functionality, 256MB of internal flash memory, supports microSD/SDHC cards up to 32GB, Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity.

The BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone is available now at Alltel retail stores for $49.99 after a $100 mail-in rebate with activation of a 1-year service contract and qualifying Smart Choice Pack.
