The design looks even smaller with dimensions of 109 x 60 x 13.90 mm and surrounded by an oval-shaped shell. Unfortunately the plastic edges are still without a layer of silver and 3G look cheap rather than the Curve.
Turning to the back, this phone uses without rubber textured plastic cover. In the back right of the 2-megapixel camera also goes down without a flash.
However, when tested detikINET inside and outdoors in bright conditions, capable of capturing images that fairly clean. But indeed, to dark conditions, the camera Curve 8530 is less reliable.
While the upper body, RIM pin dedicated short-cut to the media. Such a shortcut to access music and video exactly as in Gemini.
