Available in titanium or pale gold finishes, the BlackBerry Curve 8320 features RIM's smallest and lightest full-QWERTY handset design.

When users leave home or a T-Mobile HotSpot, calls are seamlessly transferred onto T-Mobile's wireless network, and the same is true for transferring calls from T-Mobile's network onto Wi-Fi networks.

The BlackBerry Curve 8320 provides advanced multimedia capabilities including a 2.0-megapixel camera, a music and video player, a 3.5mm stereo headset jack and a microSD card slot for expandable memory storage.

Great phone. My first PDA. Wifi voice works great. Just got the data plan. Internet works great. Really like the 2MP camera. Very useful. Great sound quality. Very consistent signal strength, and fantastic battery life. 3mm headphone jack, USB connection and cable included. Should have loaded a better voice recorder to the standard phone. Must purchase one to make it useful. Also, picture messages are not suported unless you buy the data plan. Also, Wifi at hotspots is only good for phone calls if you do not have a data plan. That sucks. I pay for free wifi service, but the internet only works at home, or on a router that I have the security settings for. Overall great experience.
