FIRST CAME THE trim, consumer-friendly BlackBerry Curve 8300. Then came the Wi-Fienabled BlackBerry 8820.
Now there's the BlackBerry Curve 8320, an impressive PDA phone that combines the best of the previous two
models with an impressive bonus: While the 8820 supports Wi-Fi for data only, the 8320 permits you to make voice calls over Wi-Fi too.
The 8320 is smaller, lighter, and—as its name suggests curvier than the boxy 8820.
Physically, the 8320 is the same as the original Curve.
Unlike that device and the 8820, which AT&T offers, the 8320 is available from TMobile and it costs $300.
The big news, however, is under the hood: In addition to support for GSM and EDGE networks, the 8320 has Wi-Fi with Unlicensed Mobile Access (UMA)—a technology that lets you make voice calls over Wi-Fi.
It works with T-Mobile's $20-per-month HotSpot@Home service, which allows unlimited calls over Wi-Fi.
Though the service is pricey, it could lower your costs by reducing your used cellular voice minutes.
But the 8320 will connect to any 802.11b/g wireless network, so you can use your existing router to make calls and surf the Web.
Being able to make calls over Wi-Fi is a great option in areas where cellular service is spotty, though.
For both voice calls and data usage, the 8320 will default to Wi-Fi.
Should you leave the network's range, the phone will switch your call to the cellular network.
When I went out of range of my Wi-Fi network, calls dropped, even though cellular service was available.
Like all BlackBerry units, the 8320 is a stellar e-mail device.
The 2-megapixel camera which sports a flash and a 3X digital zoom took good snapshots.
It also has an audio and video player that supports most formats including MP3, AAC, WMA, WMV, and MP4.
The ability to make voice calls over Wi-Fi is very useful.
And combined with the 8320's sleek design and awesome e-mail handling, it makes a winning package.
