Professional Review:

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. This version comes in titanium, but it's also available in pale gold.

The Curve's full QWERTY keyboard and the innovative trackball navigation system (placed above the keyboard) makes accessing your data and writing email a breeze..

The 2-megapixel camera makes it easy to capture pictures to send via email or upload to your online photo collection.

T-Mobile Service Options
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.

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.

Staying Connected
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.

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.

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.

The Curve is fashioned in a liquid silver finish with chrome highlights and subtly curving corners. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Vital Statistics
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.

Summary: Not for MAC users
Though the phone has impressive features, its one major drawback is lack of MAC compatability. This phone replaced my sidekick, and is really a step up when compared to that. The Curve is very light and comfortable, especially when compared to the brick that the sidekick 3 was. It also has more features and a better screen. Granted, BB did not advertise compatability with MAC, however, there are several softwares that are supposed to support it--including one available at the BB website. I tried that software and was utterly disappointed. The calendar would not sync properly, nor would anything else. So, even though my blackberry tracks meetings and what not, I cannot sync it with my MAC. No one wants to enter meetings in two places or not have a back up of the BB on the computer. But, if you are a mac person, this is what is going to happen. Had I waited, I would have probably gone with the new Iphone. Of course, if you are window based, this phone will be perfect.

Summary: Very satisfied with my blackberry....
I've had the Curve now for about 3months and I'm very happy with it. This was my first purchase for a blackberry, and I feel that it was the best bet for me. I have dropped it a few times, and the back comes completly off-but it still works fine. T-Mobile never sent my REBATE, but I'm ok, its a great phone.

Summary: great phone, terrible service
Since many people have described the phone here, I won't go into detail other than to say the phone is great. This is my 4th Blackberry and clearly the best one yet overall.

T-Mobile coverage and customer service is terrible however. I would strongly recommend that before buying the phone, you do some testing of T-mobile coverage at your primary locations. My coverage at my house is incredibly variable, frequently shifting from 4 bars to zero bars and back in the course of a minute or two, sometimes during calls (when I of course get dropped).

As for customer service, I have made 3 calls to them over a nine day period to request a minor change to my account, and they still have not done it. Each time they apologize and tell me they are going to do it, but it still hasn't happened. This last call they told me that I need to be more patient, and sometimes changes take several days to get done. incredible.

I have had cell phones for about 10 years, and used Sprint, AT&T, and now T-Mobile, and this is by far the worst experience I have had.

I wish I could write a better review, thank goodness I kept my old Sprint phone, so I have decent coverage in my neighborhood.

Summary: Phone is Great,AMAZON 2 Day shipping Baloney
Phone is great! Well this is my first Smartphone so I don't know other phones capability and easy access. I went though CNET and other forum to select this phone. Main reason was WIFI ability. Even though AMAZON plan does not have it but once you open account with T-Mobile you can add it for $10/m (unlimited calling). Desktop Manager (use for connecting Laptop) keeps disconnecting. But it is only 6 days, I will figure it out.

I got more headaches when I ordered this phone with 2 day shipping option (as advertised by AMAZON); guess what I got phone after 11 days. I did not expect such improper coordination between T-mobile & AMAZON. After talking to T-mobile customer service and getting OK for opening new account, T-mobile customer service did not knew whom should they inform so they ask me to contact AMAZON. AMAZON customer service said all checkpoints in my orders are green and product will ship soon. But they keep on postponing the expected delivery date 2 day.. 3day.. and so on. So finally after 6day, I sent an email to AMAZON customer service, after (more than 24 hrs later) I got email stating my order is in shipping and I cannot cancel. One day pass still in shipping and I cannot cancel. Finally next day shipped on Friday and because of the weekend UPS cannot delivered it. So I got the phone on Monday. No apology from AMAZON.

Summary: A word on international calling with WIFI
This is a great phone. I just wanted to let everyone know about TMO's rules regarding international WIFI use because there is a review on this site which claims that you can use this phone overseas and call the US w/o additional charges. Based on TMO's terms and conditions, that is not true. Here is the language:

"Service Limitations, Connectivity & International Use: Wi-Fi Calling is not available at T-Mobile HotSpot locations outside the U.S. You acknowledge and agree that your use of any Wi-Fi network is permissible and that you (and not T-Mobile) are responsible for your use. Cell Broadcasts (alerts that go to certain customers) and Wireless Priority Service (WPS) may not be available with Wi-Fi Calling. If you have the Wi-Fi Calling add-on feature and use the Wi-Fi Calling service outside of the U.S., calls to U.S. numbers are not included as part of the add-on feature and are charged under your Rate Plan; calls to international numbers are charged under international rates. Please see important international 9-1-1 information below. You will be responsible for all internet access charges. "

So my question is: Has anyone tried WIFI calling from overseas to the US and if so, how were you billed?
