As its big brother Sprint moves on to the latest BlackBerry Curve 3G, Boost Mobile finally gets its predecessor, the BlackBerry Curve 8530. The Curve 8530 is rather long in the tooth at this point--it's about a year old--but if you're a Boost Mobile customer who's been champing at the bit for a 3G BlackBerry, this is your only choice. As a reminder, the Curve 8530 has a 2-megapixel camera with video-recording capabilities, 3G, Wi-Fi, GPS, and stereo Bluetooth. The Curve 8530 will be available for $249.99, with no contract required.
