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.

What Customers Say About BlackBerry Curve 8320 Phone, Titanium (T-Mobile):

1 month later, I get flash errors (risk of loosing my contacts). Received the curve as open box and call tmobile to figure out what happened. They said it's ok "the phone is brand new". Called for replacement and they offer a "used" blackberry.So in a 30 day period, I had to argue with customer service to get a used phone as a new customer. Suggestion: if you want a blackberry head to another mobile provider.Now where is that 0 star option.

Enjoy, it does a great job of video, too. Go to the video area (icon looks like a camera) click on it and there you are. The literature consistently says "Does not take video"---it does take video. Crisp, with voice, good color, you can zoom in and out as well. The capability came with my 8320 from Cincinnati Bell. Even the RIM website omits this feature, it's there. Only reason I am giving the device one less than full stars is it is such a difficult little thing to master compared to the iTouch, but it does so much more. Well worth the price and the time invested.

The phone is good, however, the internet on T-Mobile (edge) is super slow in comparison to other providers with high speed alternatives; 3g for Sprint, Verizon, ATT, or evdo for Verizon & Sprint. makes web browsing practically unusable, unless of course you are on a wifi connection. No data plan, no internet or email unless you have an available wifi connection. 4) required to pay for data plan: extra $$$ for something the phone is supposed to do out of the box. 3) Phone is Wifi capable, go online through any Wifi network (that you have access to: secured networks you don't have a key to don't work obviously).4) good messaging (SMS) and e-mail capabilities (outlook, gmail, hotmail, etc) as long as you pay for the required data plans (See cons below)5) Good call quality, build quality, and great feature set(for the money) on the phone itself, the plans are something else. Despite the complaint of slow internet through t-mobile, when it comes down flexibility of its use as a phone, T-mobile is the only provider at the moment that allows hotspot (UMA) calling or the ability to use the wifi connection of the phone to make phone calls, WITHOUT deducting minutes from your phone plan, as long as you pay for the $10 a month hotspot calling service.

Pros: 1) Unlimited HotSpot calling through T-mobile: Make unlimited national phone calls with this phone on any wifi network as long as you pay for the 10 dollar hotspot calling feature. 2) hotspot calling feature is available on a family plan (covers EVERYONE on their family plan for one low price) and it costs the same as a single line hotspot feature. Ordered the Blackberry Curve 8320 (actually 2 of them) with the favs family plan. There you have it, depending on what your needs are, this phone can be the either best phone you have ever owned, or it could be just a phone with too many features. 3) On the T-mobile side, the internet is absolutely slow slow slow. If you have the patience to deal with browsing on the edge network and wait X2 as long as dial-up, then be my guest, I'd recommend wifi. For me, its the best overall value for a phone, period.

i would call this an email phone. Amazon provided the best deal out of any other retailer out there, hands down, and they provided excellent service when I needed it. 5) if you are using outlook for work to receive email, it is then required to pay even more money for the BB enterprise server data plan in order to receive emails instantly or close to real time. Cons:1) Phone is slow when navigating through menus and dialing in comparison to dedicated cell phones (non pda phones)2) Screen is a bit small to actually do any real web browsing; its purpose is mostly to receive emails. yes you can web browse, but it is tedious, even with aftermarket software browsers like mini opera, etc. Otherwise, you have to deal with web outlook (OWA) which only pushes email about every 15 minutes to your blackberry device. other thoughts: Now if only it was 3G.

I lost my last Blackberry and upgraded to a curve and wish I had just upgraded sooner. Better keys, better browser, camera. just all around a great phone. The only thing I would like to see is a slimmer version.

That by itself makes this phone the best bargain out there. dollars a month for unlimited internet after 6 months.

The 8320 is that phone, with the key word being "lowest" possible price. Well to start off my original concern was that I get the best phone out with internet capabilities at the lowest possible price.

a month and it has WiFi so you don't have to continue paying [.]. I would rather the iphone but over the course of a year your going to pay a lot more for it.

I got the 8320 for -79.99 in my pocket after a rebate with a plan that only costs [.]. Internet is FREE.

My one concern was that this phone would be really big and look weird in my pocket but it is much smaller than it looks and fits comfortably in my pants pocket.
