The BlackBerry Curve 8320 is a slightly updated version of the very successful Curve lineup of BlackBerry cell phones. The 8320’s only major upgrade over the 8300 line is the addition of Wi-Fi, which can also be used with T-Mobile’s Hotspot at Home service to make calls over Wi-Fi. The BlackBerry Curve 8320 provides very good messaging and organizational functionality on an easy-to-use and stable device, as is typical of BlackBerry devices. The addition of multimedia features on BlackBerry devices is a welcome addition, and we found the Curve’s music and video playback functions to be good, but not great. The 2-megapixel camera takes good pictures for a cell phone, although it doesn’t compare to high-end cameras found on some Nokia and Sony-Ericsson phones. Battery life on the Curve was also solid. Overall, the Curve is a very well rounded device. Those looking for an all-in-one phone with excellent business functionality won’t be disappointed by the Curve.
