      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;NegroLips submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8320:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alright, here we go. I love this phone, but there's a few things you should know. I'll talk about the few issues first. Be careful with this phone. I dropped it while walking out of Wal-Mart and the track ball came off which I had to replace. I don't know if it's just because the phone is old or what, but sometimes it just stops reading my SIM card and I can't receive or send messages/ make or take calls etc.. It might have been some fault of the previous owner (I didn't purchase the phone new.) With that being said, other that that, it's an amazing phone. If you get it, try to purchase a certified pre-owned one. I love the QWERTY key board. It has amazing travel and feedback, Just as good as my Sidekick LX (2007) which is also amazing. The camera is okay, but I would recommend keeping your regular camera if you plan to take pictures. This has to be the loudest phone I have EVER heard. I use it as an alarm as well. I can hear it ringing all the way across my house when it's on the quietest setting, and my house is a reasonable size. The browser is good for a phone, but no where near on par with surfing the web on an iPhone. If you need web, that's your market. I don't use my phone for email, but I hear the push works very well on all Blackberry devices. Well, that's pretty much all. Hope you find the phone you're looking for! This one is highly recommended.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I've owned many phones, but this one puts the rest to shame. It's my first smartphone, and I don't think I'll ever use a "normal" phone again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wifi!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2.0 megapixel camera. It takes great pictures, and has a flash. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Qwerty keyboard. It's so easy to use!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new OS 4.5 version has video recording.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Decent battery life. It lasts like two days and that's with heavy heavy use.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;None =)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Bought new house reception was good. Used leather case from T-mobile to holster phone, dumb idea. Tracball is all but useless now. Has a mind of its own and won't cooperate much. Probably needing a new phone now, wife's works very good still. No real problems other than wifi in previous house.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Considering upgrading to either the Bold or iPhone but don't really need to until this one breaks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PRO:&lt;br /&gt;1)  It should be noted that the Blackberry does NOT need the data package to use this as a phone  - you do need the data package for the iPhone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Con:&lt;br /&gt;Really can't think of any.....&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I upgraded my Pearl to the Curve about 1 month ago, and am I happy! This phone is practically perfect. Very easy to use, and great on scheduling. Internet is great, but I wish it has 3G speed. The camera works well,and the OS is easy to use. The shortcomings have to do with Tmobile's sorry excuse for the homepage. The only other issue is the lack of memory. Other than that I recommend this phone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;jeffjeff submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8320:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I really don't know where to start with this phone. This is by far the best phone that I have ever owned and I've been through a lot of phones over the years. This review is for the Curve 8320 in Sapphire Blue for ATT.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been through quite a few phones via ATT since my wife and I joined with them Sept. 08. I've tried the Samsung Blackjack II, The Motorola Q9h Global and the Samsung Epix i907. I just couldn't find a phone that I was really happy with. Out of the ones mentioned, the Q by far was the best unit until my wife and I decided to give these Blackberries a try. After two days of having this phone, not only am I hooked, but I would not give this phone up for anything. I have to give RIM a lot of credit because it takes a really good phone to satisfy me. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;1. User Interface- very slick and sharp&lt;br /&gt;2. OS performance- very quick and peppy, little to no delay between applications&lt;br /&gt;3. Handset/Earpiece- The loudest, sharpest and clearest audio I've ever heard in a phone.&lt;br /&gt;4. Speakerphone- Great volume and clarity&lt;br /&gt;5. Voice command- Precise and very accurate&lt;br /&gt;6. User Customization- The best in it's class. I've never seen a phone with as many options as this one. &lt;br /&gt;7. BlackBerry Messenger- Since my wife and I both have the phone, this really comes in handy&lt;br /&gt;8. Battery life- Using Bluetooth, data and running multiple apps, the battery holds it's on and provides a lot of uptime between charges.&lt;br /&gt;9. Wifi- Haven't used it because I have a data package, so I can't comment on this right now&lt;br /&gt;10. Email Setup- Very easy and user friendly to link your personal and corporate email accounts&lt;br /&gt;10. I could go on and on, but I'd be here forever. Just go and give this phone a try and you'll see what I mean.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;None to mention, this phone shines in every way. This phone is next to perfect!&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Through the years, I've been quite the device collector: RAZR V3 (then again, who hasn't?), Sidekick II, Sidekick 3, Shadow, Dash, to name a few I can remember.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was aching to recently upgrade from the Dash because it was old news and I was quite bored.  I usually tend to stay behind the times and never buy the new devices, but I wanted to try the G1 from T-Mobile.  After playing with it for a little bit, I thought it was an interesting device, but I just didn't have the patience to figure it out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead, I decided to take the leap and get the Curve 8320.  Although the Storm on Verizon was quite intriguing, I really like T-Mobile and touch screens tend to get on my nerves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I've only had the Curve for about 2 weeks, and hopefully I won't find too many flaws before the 14 days are up, but here is what I've liked and disliked so far:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Pros)&lt;br /&gt;Wi-Fi&lt;br /&gt;Speakerphone is great&lt;br /&gt;Decent reception&lt;br /&gt;Full qwerty keyboard is amazing&lt;br /&gt;Easy to use&lt;br /&gt;Not too big&lt;br /&gt;Easy to use with one hand&lt;br /&gt;Not cheap feeling&lt;br /&gt;Good apps&lt;br /&gt;3.5 mm headphone jack&lt;br /&gt;Decent music player&lt;br /&gt;Pretty good camera&lt;br /&gt;New OS supports video camera&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Cons)&lt;br /&gt;Browser can be slow&lt;br /&gt;Memory card slot is underneath battery door&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;systemwide submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8320:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Fantastic Phone/Device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is by far the best purchase I have made to date regarding a Phone from T-mobile. I have spent so much cash on all the other so called smart phones offered by T-mobile and quite honestly was considering moving to another carrier due to the poor phone selection. I've had all the windows smart-phones and T-mobile HTC's I can stand. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is by far the best brand and smart-phone offered by T-mobile. I was dumb as a brick for not considering one of the BBs in the past, but now I'm hooked. I started on the Treo 650 and was very happy, until the little brick got so out dated that I chose the MDA. Lets not go there.... :) Anyway, If your looking for a device that does everything and makes calls too, try one on for a few days. I think you'll agree, its one of the best in the industry. T-mobile has a 14 day return on all their phones. Used it a couple of times, but not this time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros: To long to list... use the pros from most of the other reviews. Thanks guys! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons: None to list. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOTE: I'm sure most everyone knows by now, but the new OS does support video capture and streaming video.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;theguynextdoor submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8320:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have owned this phone for a about 3 months now. Upon purchasing this phone, I qualified for a full upgrade. The phone was going for $449.99. After getting the full discount and also a $100.00 rebate and renewing my contract with T-Mo, the phone cost me $97.00 So that was one of the good things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using a blackberry before, I was familiar with the keypad. I was surprised with the wifi feature on this 8320. I was able to set it up and it found a signal even if I were to turn off the radio signal to the phone (EDGE).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One thing that I want to note, is that I just got back from a vacation overseas and I had to stop in Incheon, Korea International Airport. I did not want to use my T-Mo sim card and get charged roaming, so I turned off the radio signal, and turned on my wifi, and "wala" I was able to surf the INTERNET via the airport's wifi. That alone was priceless right there to at least let my family know that I was almost at my destination via email. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being with T-Mo, I was able to request a unlock code so I can use it overseas. Meaning, I was going to use their local phone provider's sim card. The unlock code was emailed to me in less than 24 hrs.&lt;br /&gt;The other things that I want to also say is that, I was upgraded the OS from the original 4.2 to 4.5. I was able to notice a change to my home screen with the addition of a video camera. The 4.2 OS doesn't have one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I added a 2 gig memory card for my music and pictures that I took from my trip. The speaker was loud for ring tones or even listening to music. The battery that  came with the phone was alright, but decided to upgrade the battery to a higher capacity one where I don't have to worry about in-between changes. The battery that I have now is a 2600mAh 3.7V Li-ion Battery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The reception on my 8320 is excellent, the wifi is priceless, being unlocked thanks to T-Mo is also added to the phone. I don't have any issues with this phone at all..I am pleased for purchasing this phone.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

With the Pearl, my hands were constantly cramping up after a long period of typing.  The SureType on the Curve constantly aggravated me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't sit here and type all of the pros and cons of the Curve because if you read other reviews, you will know exactly what you'll be getting with this device.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would highly recommend the Curve to anyone (and I have).  It's almost perfect.  There are a few shortcomings, but I truly believe there is no perfection in this world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get the Curve if you desire it.  You won't be sorry.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I switched my account from sprint about a year ago and started with the sidekick because I needed a qwerty keyboard. Then I recently switched over to this phone &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;Qwerty keyboard&lt;br /&gt;Battery life(last way longer then any sidekick) &lt;br /&gt;Wifi(even though I don't use it much. Still great that I have the option)&lt;br /&gt;Finally I can tether &lt;br /&gt;Wide variety of third party apps( reminds me of my old treo)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;No recording capabilitty( not of a big deal though)&lt;br /&gt;Micro sd slot is located under the battery&lt;br /&gt;Cheap feel &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The outside of the phone may feel cheap. But it does have a Solid OS and is reliable. Just from what I expect from a blackberry.this phone reminds me of my old treo 650. I guess that's why I like it so much.

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;K.Midas submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8320:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;4&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After about 8 months of owning this smartphone, I have finally concluded: Yeah, I'm just another Crackberry Addict. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-Pros&lt;br /&gt;1. I own the gold one and, imo, it just looks more expensive than the other colors out. &lt;br /&gt;2. Excellent screen size and resolution. (I like how the brightness of the screen adjusts to the lighting in your environment. &lt;br /&gt;3. Easy texting and typing thanks to the qwerty keyboard. &lt;br /&gt;4. Great camera for a 2mp. The flash, self portrait and using the full screen as a view finder is a plus. &lt;br /&gt;5. I like the browser on the phone but Opera Mini is a beast browser on the Curve. &lt;br /&gt;6. E-mail is second to none. &lt;br /&gt;7. Crystal clear calling and a very decent speakerphone. Although, sometimes, I get an occasional echo but I guess that's typical of phones with an internal antenna. &lt;br /&gt;8. Light, but the soft-touch rubber trim for a firm grip is a nice touch.&lt;br /&gt;9. Well worth the price of it now. &lt;br /&gt;10. It's a Blackberry. &lt;br /&gt;-Now for the Cons (Very few but worth mentioning)&lt;br /&gt;1. No video.&lt;br /&gt;2. To me, for some reason, the trackball feels a bit fragile.&lt;br /&gt;3. No flash-player for the web browser. &lt;br /&gt;4. No hot-swappable micro sd slot instead it's located behind battery. Not a deal breaker for me.&lt;br /&gt;5.Occasional rebooting.  (Removing battery and putting back in). This is likely typical of most smartphones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanx for reading I hope it helped. I recommend this phone to anyone who is in serious need of a Crackberry Fix.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

The phone works great with this upgrade and because of it is lacking nothing.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;smtelegadis submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8320:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;2.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I think the title says it all.  This phone functions exactly the way a blackberry should.  Anyone experienced with a blackberry will know what I mean.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pros:&lt;br /&gt;Nice Interface (OS4.2)&lt;br /&gt;Bright Screen&lt;br /&gt;Responsive Keyboard.&lt;br /&gt;Packed with Features (WIFI, microSD, &amp;amp; 2MP camera)&lt;br /&gt;Holster Sensor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cons:&lt;br /&gt;CHEAP Housing&lt;br /&gt;No loop for a lanyard or wrist strap&lt;br /&gt;Screen is Easy to Scratch&lt;br /&gt;Back Door can come off easily&lt;br /&gt;Ear phone jack is poorly positioned &lt;br /&gt;Rubberized coating peals easily&lt;br /&gt;Trackball gunks up really easy. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bottomline.  This is a solid compact smartphone but you need to invest in a shell case which defeats the purpose of the compact size in my opinion.  Go with a 88xx series or look into a different model.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

In fact I LOVE the UMA ability. It connects and works without issue on both my home (Apple Airport Extreme) and work wireless networks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excellent Bluetooth range with my Jawbone&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No the browser doesn't measure up to Safari on the iPhone (just sold mine) but I didn't expect it to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RF is excellent and I'm able to make and receive calls over TM's network in places where I've had trouble in the past.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Audio can be a bit "hissy" when turned all the way up but is otherwise pleasant. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Keyboard has nice tactile feedback.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Battery life is better than I expected.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I honestly haven't experienced any of the negatives mentioned in other reviews and as a picky user (I.T. Professional) I was looking for them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To sum up it's a good well rounded phone and I'm more than satisfied with my decision to ditch the iPhone for this Blackberry.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description> &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;RS submitted this review of the BlackBerry Curve 8320:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall rating: &lt;b&gt;2.5&lt;/b&gt; (out of 5)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I don't think this phone is worth $149-$199. More like $100 or less. Its pretty mediocre. I do like the Opera Mini, CNN blackberry on it but those are apps not the phone. the qwerty keypad is very very nice BUT when I want to dial for example 1-800-MYTMOBILE, I cant, because the letters on the qwerty don't match the regular phone keys. I was so weirded out by that. I had to go figure out what the MYTMOBILE numbers actually are. The Wifi is unstable and drops calls, but web browsing is a breeze and not choppy like the voice. The battery lasts 2-3 days with continuous use which is a huge plus for me. OH, the one thing I extremely hate abt this phone is when I'm on the phone with someone important, this phone turns off, and takes 7 minutes to reboot.  It happened 6 different times!!!!!!!!! I may need to check the firmware for this because since this phone doesnt come with alot of memory, I dont store anything on this, but still the problem exists. So no, while its a functional and convienent than other phones, I would rather go with HTC touch or Palm Centro but Tmobile doesnt have alot of selection so I had to stick with this. The good thing is I have a 1yr contract so this will make a nice paperweight when I get something else.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I have used it for a while and it slows down, freezes, is high priced, and the instructions are unspecific (yes i tried to research it on the web) oh finally the phone part is hidden under all the other useless things. besides that it is a good big phone&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;(Follow link to rate this review or report it to us as inappropriate.)&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
