Most of the phones in the Blackberry Curve family share similar features and it’s no different to the Curve 8320. It’s not only the features but the design as well. The QWERTY keyboard is a great and common feature in the Curve family and given its size the mobile itself is a little wider than usual other mobiles like the N95 or the Nokia 6300 for that matter. However, even with all the technology it manages a slim design of around 15mm. It’s simply a lovely phone to even hold and the colour and the size makes it all perfect for a business phone.

The keyboard in this devise is a pleasure to handle and differs slightly from 8310. It is an impressive improvement on the part of Blackberry. The convenient design makes it easier when sending emails and even texts. You cannot wait without typing and you know it if you have already tried this product. With the rest of the phone, there is a 2 megapixel camera that performs quite well but you cannot expect a great deal like in other phones say the iPhone. There is a trackball for navigation and a small media player to support your media files.
