Amazon.com Product Description
Adding a fashionable touch to Research in Motion's formidable arsenal of telephonic, PIM, and media tools, the BlackBerry 8320 Curve for T-Mobile is also the smallest, lightest BlackBerry phone that includes a full QWERTY keyboard. This amalgam of the svelte BlackBerry Pearl and the more business-oriented 8800 combines RIM's long-valued corporate email and messaging platform with a host of advanced multimedia features, including a 2-megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth (for listening to music via wireless headphones). In addition to its quad-band GSM and EDGE connectivity, it also offers Wi-Fi connectivity for access to the Internet and email as well as access to T-Mobile's Hotspot @Home service. p table align=right width=400 cellpadding=10 trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/bberry-curve_8320-tmob-sunset-hero.jpg" border=0 align=top width=400 height=588brbrsmallibThe Curve's full QWERTY keyboard and the innovative trackball navigation system (placed above the keyboard) makes accessing your data and writing email a breeze./b/i/small/td/tr trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/bberry-curve_8320-tmob-sunset-duo.jpg" border=0 align=top width=400 height=295brbrsmallibThe 2-megapixel camera makes it easy to capture pictures to send via email or upload to your online photo collection./b/i/small/td/tr trtdimg src="http://images.amazon.com/images/G/01/wireless/detail-page/blackberrycurve-keys_and_features-400.jpg" border=0 align=topbrbrsmallibClick for larger view./b/i/small/td/tr /table bT-Mobile Service Options/bbr With T-Mobile HotSpot @Home service, you'll effortlessly transition between Wi-Fi calling and T-Mobile's wireless network while you talk. You can get unlimited nationwide calls over Wi-Fi--at home via your wireless router or at any U.S. T-Mobile HotSpot. You can also use the HotSpot @Home service via most open, or unsecured, wireless routers, as well as any secured wireless router for which you have access to the password from the owner. This phone is compatible with the 802.11b/g Wi-Fi standard as well as the following wireless security protocols: WEP, WPA (TKIP), WPA2 (AES-CCMP), LEAP, PEAP, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS, EAP-FAST, EAP-SIM, EAP-AKA. Whenever you're not using a Wi-Fi network, the Curve works just like a regular mobile phone, using your Whenever Minutes under your T-Mobile voice plan. p This phone also includes compatibility with T-Mobile's myFaves service, which allows you to call up to five of your most common contacts--on any network, even landlines--without using any of your minutes. Learn more about myFaves from T-Mobile. p bStaying Connected/bbr With BlackBerry's push email technology, your email will find you without having to initiate a connection. BlackBerry devices are designed to remain on and continuously connected to the wireless network, notifying you as new email arrives. In addition to the text, you can also receive and view attachments in a wide range of popular file formats, including Microsoft Office, Corel WordPerfect, and Adobe PDF. p Browse the web with the integrated, full-featured browser, which quickly and efficiently displays HTML pages as well as enables you to set up RSS feeds to stay connected to up-to-the-minute news and blog posts. And keep up with your contacts using a variety of instant message (IM) networks, including the integrated Blackberry Messenger as well as downloadable clients for Google Talk, Yahoo! Messenger, and Lotus Sametime. p For corporate users, the Curve delivers all the enterprise email and messaging capabilities you've come to expect. It's supported on BlackBerry Internet Service, giving you access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM Lotus Domino, Microsoft Exchange and Novell GroupWise environments. p bPhone Features/bbr The Curve is fashioned with subtly curving corners and chrome highlights. Measuring 4.2 x 2.4 inches, the Curve is just as slim as the Pearl (0.6 inches) and weighs in at 3.9 ounces--just 0.7 ounces heavier than its predecessor. It features a bright 2.5-inch color TFT screen that provides 65,000 colors and a 320 x 240-pixel resolution, and it includes a light-sensing feature that automatically adjusts backlighting for indoor, outdoor and dark environments. Like the BlackBerry 8800, the Curve includes a trackball navigation system located on the top of the QWERTY keypad, and it also features an integrated spell checker with a customizable dictionary to help maintain accuracy while on the go. It has 64 MB of internal ROM memory, and is expandable using MicroSD memory cards. The battery provides up to 4 hours (240 minutes) of talk time and up to 17 days (408 hours) of standby time. p You can snap vivid photos (though no video) using the 2-megapixel camera on the back of the Curve, which also features a 5x digital zoom, built-in flash, self-portrait mirror and full screen viewfinder. It can capture images in up to three picture quality and size resolutions that can be shared instantly by email, MMS or BlackBerry Messenger, or even uploaded to your Flickr account with the Yahoo! Go service. Photos can also be immediately set as a unique caller ID or Home Screen image. You can edit photos and create albums within the Curve using the PhotoSuite application. Pictures can be cropped, rotated and straightened, and flaws can be fixed by removing redeye or changing the brightness, contrast, and saturation levels. p Listen to your favorite music and watch downloaded videos using the included stereo headset, or use an optional wireless headphone thanks to the Curve's support for the Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP). The Curve is compatible with a wide variety of file formats, including MP3, WMA and AAC/AAC+/eAAC+ audio and WMV, MPEG4 and H.263 video. Dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset. p With the Voice-Activated Dialing (VAD) feature, you can initiate a call just by telling the Curve who to call from your contact list--either via the integrated speakerphone or using an optional Bluetooth wireless headset. Other advanced phone features include advanced sound technology that cancels out background noise and echo, dedicated volume and mute keys, and the ability to customize the Curve with polyphonic and MP3 ringtones. p bVital Statistics/bbr The Blackberry Curve 8320 weighs 3.92 ounces and measures 4.2 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches. Its lithium-ion battery is rated at up to 4 hours of talk time, and up to 408 hours (17 days) of digital standby time. It runs on the 850/900/1800/1900 GSM/GPRS/EDGE frequencies.

I bought this model from a T mobile store on 10/10/2008. Right after the purchase, I found that a few keys are not functioning well. Then I called the store on 10/14/2008, and was told to bring it back to store for an exchange. Unfortunately, I had a business trip traveled out of US on the same day, and I returned on 10/26/2008. Therefore, I missed their 14 days of exchange time frame. For this reason, T mobile refused to exchange my phone with a new one. The reason they explained to me is that after 14 days, they have to contact the manufacturer, and it can only go under warranty. I called them 5 times. I insisted to talk to a supervisor during my 3rd call to T mobile. I was told that the supervisor was on the phone with other customers, and would call me back. I waited for the call back for the rest of day, and nobody from T mobile called me. Then I made my 4th call to T mobile on the next day. The representative told me that she would guarantee that her supervisor would call me in 24 hours. I waited for 28 hours. Still, no one from T mobile called me. At last, I made my 5th call, and was lucky enough to catch a supervisor this time. She gave me the same reason that why I can not get a new phone for replacement. I've been with Sprint for many years, and have been with Verizon for a short period. However, I have never got such a bad service! I will tell everyone I know to stay away from T mobile. They do not mean to give you the service they promise. This experience makes me feel that they are looking forward to seeing you miss the date. If you did miss for whatever reason, even if you reported the defects of the device on time, they will say `haha, I got you! It is fault! I am not going to give you exchange!' After such experience, I will never consider using T mobile any more.

I am very happy with this keep-in-touch instrument. I replaced an ordinary cellphone with this, so it's a real step up for me. Being able to check on, and send, emails from just about anywhere is a real revelation! It just eliminates the need to be attached to a base during working hours. It was also easy to set up and is easy to use. Can you tell I'm happy with it?
