Get an unlocked 8320! Terrific on AT&T! January 6, 2009
I bought this item on eBay (refurbished, brand new but out of box)- and it is just amazing. WiFi, Camera, Video (you need to upgrade the firmware) and a full keyboard - what a great phone.
Very small issues - sometimes the network cuts out (AT&T's problem), no mainstream IM client, no way to check email or use IM over WiFi and the browser needs work. I'm sure BB will fix these issues with later phones.
The buttons are a little small (I have fingers like sausages) but I've learned to type using my thumbs nonetheless.
Add an 8GB MicroSD card and you're in business! I don't need an MP3 player anymore!
To reiterate, find the phone unlocked if you can. Mine says T-Mobile when it starts up, but since it's unlocked I just pop in my AT&T card and it works fine.
 Great if you intend to add data plan January 6, 2009
This is another superb device made by Blackberry. The Curve is a full qwerty keyboard smartphone and has the ability to use wifi to surf the internet and make calls via UMA.
However...most services won't work with the Curve UNLESS you sign up for a data plan with T-Mobile. You would think the wifi ability would have some sort of push email function for free, but it does not, you have to pay for that. The wi-fi only allows you to do basic web browsing. Web pages are not html style and are mobile style. Looks like crap actually. Only real good use is to read some news or articles. You cannot use features such as Yahoo Go, Google Maps, or Push E-Mail. The push email goes through the blackberry server so it is not T-mobile's fault. $10 for push email, or $20 for email and data.
Blackberry's are powerful devices, but you have to pay for that full power to be unleashed. Get the data plan. You could also use this as a media player, as it plays back mp3 and video, but you will have to buy a separate memory card for that as the one supplied is only 256 mb.
However, since this is a hotspot enabled phone, I use this for work since I can talk all day and night without having my minutes deducted via the hotspot@home feature ($10 per household, all UMA phones on the plan can use it for one charge). The speaker phone on this thing is loud, sharp and amazing. It's probably the lightest Blackberry I have used besides the Pearl.
Calls via UMA are clear, and sharp. No problems so far.
If you are looking for a UMA phone, go with the Blackberry Curve. Just remember, you can't do email without paying for it.
I would give this phone 5 stars if only the wifi could be used for more than basic web browsing and uma calls. Give me free push email via wi-fi and it would be a 5 star!

 The BlackBerry Curve is the best phone you can get! December 12, 2008
The Blackberry Curve 8320 I ordered through Amazon is great. This Phone is a great phone to have if you love to text and use the internet. I didn't fully know the capibilities of this phone until I got it and now I guess I'm kinda of adicted to it. You can play games on it, download software for students and working people alike. Buying it through Amazon was hassle free and recevied a better price than anywhere less. With T mobile service I got with BlackBerry Curve 8320 Smartphone Titanium (T-Mobile)]]it works great and is very realiable. I would suguest this phone to anyone. One thing to keep in mind about the Curve is that it is very similar to a computer so you do need to be able to adapt to all the features. But once you have this phone I don't think you will every not have a blackberry because of all it's wonderfull capibilities.
Great device except for music December 2, 2008

After T-Mobile had me pay $100 for the device plus $30 a month for data, I was taken with the Blackberry Curve. The 4.5 operating system isn't quite as flashy as the new 4.6, but as updates might be possible, no issues are there. I downloaded Need For Speed Undercover, and the graphics are really good. The 2 megapixel camera stacks up surprisingly well to the 5 megapixel Samsung Behold. BUT............... I cannot, for the life of me and the help of two other people, get my new Kingston 4gb memory card in the freaking phone! The memory card is microSD, and the curve supports 4gb cards, so this should be an easy pair. But this is downright terrible! I saw that the new Blackberry Flip has a spring loaded memory card slot on the side, and thank god! If only the Curve had this, because music was of major importance to me. If you are looking for a phone to play music, then make sure you can get the darn microSD card in the slot!
