BlackBerry 8320

First came the trim, consumer-friendly BlackBerry Curve 8300. Then came the Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry 8820. Now there's the BlackBerry Curve 8320, an impressive PDA phone that combines the best of the previous two models and has an added bonus: While...

2-megapixel camera ; Wi-Fi support

Expensive ; Inconsistent voice quality

Voice-over-Wi-Fi feature makes an excellent phone even better.

Review: RIM Blackberry 8320 Curve for T-Mobile

It ain't perfect, but the new T-Mobile Curve is one of the tastiest Blackberries to date. Sporting smooth lines similar to other Curve models, the...

All the Blackberry messaging and email functions you know and love in a very slick body. Surprisingly loud internal speaker. Not iPhone sexy, but there’s something classy about the 8320’s subtle curves and sepia tinted finish. Bright, 320 x 240, 65,000...

Wi-Fi, while certainly a welcome addition, can be drop out for no apparent reason. Camera doesn’t support video, picture quality while good, is not quite as sharp as some Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones we’ve seen. Integrated GPS where are you

RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320

The new RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320 ($449.99; $249.99 and up with two-year contract) for T-Mobile is the carrier's best handheld for communication addicts, thanks to its stability, e-mail verve, and its ability to make phone calls from any Wi-Fi hot spot.

Wi-Fi calling actually works. Excellent e-mail and IM capabilities. Good phone performance

Wi-Fi doesn't speed up browsing. Needs MS Office document editor

Unlimited Wi-Fi calling pushes this already excellent BlackBerry ahead of the pack.

RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320

A lot has changed since 1997, when the Blackberry first made its appearance. Back then, the phone was clunky, plain and somewhat cumbersome to use. However, as smart phone technology improved, the Blackberry was able to get a makeover. An example of...

Overall, the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320 is a phenomenal smart phone. It's affordable and it offers many modern-day features, especially when it comes to texting, emailing and Internet browsing. However, I will say that it is a bit disappointing that the...

BlackBerry Curve-8320 Pale Gold

T-Mobile's version of the Curve is one of the best smartphones around. It lacks high speed data access data but adds WiFi for data access and unlimited UMA calling, and the inclusion of a 2MP camera with flash and standard headphone jack make this the...

Excellent QWERTY keypad ; WiFi for Email/Web and UMA voice calling ; Legendary push Email system ; Trackball navigation ; Media player with 3.5mm headphone jack

No 3G data ; No GPS ; Web browser not on par with best smartphones ; Memory card hidden behind battery
