BlackBerry Curve-8320 Pale Gold

User rating   Not rated - Add review
The Blackberry 8320 packs a ton of features into a sleek thin design that is sure to get the attention of the hardcore user who wants all of the extras missing from previous models. Key features include a 2 mega-pixel camera, Bluetooth, 3.5mm stereo headset jack, trackball navigation, expandable memory, music player and a full QWERTY style keyboard.

Blackberry 8320
What’s Good: Excellent QWERTY keypad; WiFi for Email/Web and UMA voice calling; Legendary push Email system; Trackball navigation; Media player with 3.5mm headphone jack.

What’s Not Good: No 3G data; No GPS; Web browser not on par with best smartphones; Memory card hidden behind battery.


Bottom Line:
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 most consumer-oriented BlackBerry ever.  All in all it’s an excellent smartphone that adds some entertainment value to BlackBerry’s renowned push Email service, and is actually a hair more responsive than AT&T’s version.
