(Review) - RIM yesterday announced a new addition of its successful BlackBerry Curve for T-Mobile users, dubbed the 8320. While all of the features and disappointments carry over to the T-Mobile version, there are a couple of things that made us smile. Please check out our original BlackBerry Curve review to get an in-depth look at the original series. For the purpose of this review, we'll quickly talk about the new additions and move on.

The first major change is the color scheme with pale gold and titanium as two T-Mobile flavors. Needless to say, both of them look stunning. While gold is slightly more on the stylish end, Titanium would fit well with any corporate culture. The excellent QWERTY keyboard and everything stays the same, though. And perhaps the most exciting feature is the addition of WiFi using T-Mobile HotSpot@Home service. We've been pleading with RIM to add a WiFi option to its BlackBerry series, and the company finally listens. Thanks, RIM. But what took you so long?

The idea with T-Mobile's Hotspot@Home service is to let you pick between an open WiFi network or a standard cell tower and switch your calls between the two. The exciting aspect of this is that if you are using a WiFi network to make calls, T-Mobile won't deduct minutes from your service plan. That means hours of added calls as long as you are within an open WiFi signal. Nice! We could get used to this. And the signal strength and transition between the two is quite slick as well. If you start out making calls over WiFi, but get disconnected, the service will automatically direct you to the nearest tower without dropping the call. Sweet. Unfortunately, you can't switch from a tower to an open WiFi system once the call has already been initiated.

All in all, the 8320 continues to be an excellent phone and another winner in RIM's remarkably successful line of smartphones. Once again, please check out our original review of the BlackBerry Curve to get an in-depth coverage of the unit.
