Koodo is introducing the BlackBerry Curve  in response to consumer demand for a social media friendly, QWERTY  handset.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Since launching as Canada&#8217;s back to basics wireless company, Koodo has  focused on providing exceptional value by sticking to communication  essentials like talk and text,&#8221; says Kevin Banderk, Chief Koodo Officer.  &#8220;For many Koodo customers, easy mobile access to email or social  networking sites like Facebook and Twitter has become an essential  communication need. The BlackBerry Curve 8530 offers these customers a  high-quality smartphone with a full-QWERTY keyboard for easy  interactivity with popular social networking sites.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The BlackBerry Curve 8530 smartphone comes in charcoal and is expected  to retail for $300, or $150 for new customers who put the smartphone on  their Tab. Existing customers who have paid their Tab in part or in  full can also use the Tab to get the new BlackBerry Curve 8530  smartphone. Unique to Koodo Mobile, the Tab is an alternative to  fixed-term contracts that allows customers to put up to $150 of a phone&#8217;s price on their Tab. Ten per  cent of each monthly bill is then credited to the Tab. If the customer  decides to leave, they simply need to settle their Tab.
