Blackberry Curve 8320

Full Review

The Blackberry Curve is even more impressive than before. The compact and curve design made the 8320 score high on ergonomics. Add to this the widely spaced QWERTY with great tactile feedback. Like all Blackberry’s typing on the 8320 is also very efficient. The Curve has a 2.5-inch screen which is good enough for viewing emails and web pages. The trackball would not need much mention here as it still offers the same good navigational experience it has been doing for years. The superb Blackberry exchange server continues to be a winner because of its high security and functionality. For business users, it is compatible with Blackberry enterprise server, Microsoft exchange and also supports POP3 or IMAP4 email accounts. The spell check feature comes in handy while composing email. Setting up email is fairly simple and up to 10 email accounts are supported. For office documents, this time around, Documents to Go (to view and edit office documents) is also available. In terms of connectivity, the phone offers Wi-Fi. The multimedia features re also decent. The 2MP camera with flash and self-portrait mirror is quite good and the its music playing capabilities are complemented by customizable EQ presets and a 3.5mm headphones jack. For a Blackberry device, this is a huge improvement. Now, our final thoughts here: Blackberry devices don’t come cheap. If you are a current Blackberry user looking for upgrades at Rs. 13,300 this is a good choice.

Bottom Line

Affordable business workhorse to get the job done and packed with basic set of smart phone features.
