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 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. Phone Features
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 User Submitted BlackBerry Curve 8320 Smartphone Titanium (T-Mobile) ReviewsDate: 2008-10-07 BlackBerry Curve 8320 Great phone. Speaker phone and sound quality are good, specially when it uses WiFi. Date: 2008-09-29 terrible phone service is good, its a terrible phone though, it freezes once a day and take 7 minutes to reboot. drops calls like no other phone i have ever owned. Ridiculous piece of crap. Date: 2008-09-28 Not so much about the phone but the ordering process with T-Mobile I told T-Mobile I wanted the Titanium, instead they sent me the Sunset Red. I called and they promised that they will ship out the Titanium right away, but when I followed up with them several days later, they haven't shipped out the replacement yet. I changed my mind and wanted the 8820 instead and asked that they gave me discount for it just as they did for the Curve, however, they wouldn't budge, didn't offer to give me any discount at all for the 8820 and told me that any time I wanted to leave, I can do so. They weren't apologetic at all for having made mistakes twice. So I left and went to AT&T. Their starter plan is $10 more expensive than T-Mobile but they have rollover minutes, so now I have the peace of mind knowing that if I went over my minutes, I wouldn't get charge for over $200 like T-Mobile did to me. T-Mobile needs to learn a lesson. Consumers are the people who have powers since they are the ones who spend $$$, and there are many companies who are eager to have their monies. Consumers can walk away as they please and go to any companies who provide better services and respect their times. When I called to cancel my account, T-Mobile was hoping that I would have a buyer remorse with AT&T and don't leave them. It was too late, having wasted enough of my time with them, I did not wish to do that anymore especially when I know that it will very likely to happen again giving the history. Date: 2008-09-19 Really Reviewed I think this phone is for a very specific person. Great for e-mail, good calling features and strudy. Help us review it at www reallyreviews com Date: 2008-09-16 Issue is not with phone but ordering process, Amazon, & T-Mobile I thought it was going to be a simple ordering of this phone and service through Amazon. Instead it became a long ordeal of hours of phone calls and wasted time. Amazon & T-Mobile don't have a good working system to get these things processed correctly. Neither side could answer what happened and why T-mobile, though approved my credit, didn't get the approval to Amazon. Amazon customer service were not all familiar with anything related to ordering cell phone service. In short, now I've lost the entire order as Amazon cancelled it saying they never received approval from T-mobile but I did get the approval from T-Mobile after I had to call them and be on hold for 30min while they processed my information which I provided to them AGAIN over the phone though I had filled it out during the ordering of the phone through Amazon. I'm very disappointed with Amazon.
