BlackBerry 8530 Prepaid Phone (Virgin Mobile)

I started looking at this a few months ago. I've been an iphone user for 3 years but just got tired of paying $80/month. I checked with Consumer reports and searched for all the deals I could find. This was the lowest price for a blackberry with no contract, hands down. I was skeptical about the customer service because of the reviews but I have to say they were very helpful and professional. I don't have one single complaint about the phone, set up or customer service. My only issue at all is that the signal strength around my home is weak. That has to do with the Sprint towers they use. Other than that my experience has been excellent.

This phone is Wonderful !!!! There is so much to do on it and it does everything quickly. I have had a Blackberry before and loved it too ...the texting is so easy and quick...the buttons are perfect.Get this phone you will love it !!! The Virgin Mobile / Sprint coverage is great !!!

This turned out to be a great investment , who knew !!! Finally a REAL phone and NO contract !!! It does all i needed it to do and more . Keys are a little small but you will be able to manage other than that i havent found any cons regarding my purchase . I would recommend this to a friend

I love this blackberry. I previously had an older version of the blackberry phone. When my two year contract ended, I decided to try out a prepaid phone. The price of this prepaid blackberry was more expensive on other websites. I like the customer service provided by Virgin Mobile. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Sure you can sign a two year agreement with one of the major carriers and get the phone for next to nothing, or you can drop the coin up front and just pay $35.00 a month for a smartphone with all the Blackberry apps. Um, why dear review reader are you still paying $100 plus a month when you sincerely don't have to
