I have the Bold 9900 and naturally I think it's the cat's meow, but there are times and activities that I'd rather not expose my precious little darling to. So when they announced the Curve 9320 and I had a chance to go over the specs, I thought it would make a great little rough and tumble phone for all the times I'd rather not have the Bold 9900 with me.

I've had the 9320 for a day now and it's exactly what I was looking for: the OS 7.1 is fast and responsive and the radio reception is the expected BB fantastic (and living in the country getting good reception is important to me) so messaging and phone calls are steady and strong. In short the Curve 9320 is a good solid communicator and at $150 you really can't go wrong picking up this little gem. If you are looking to get a phone (or phones) for your kids to stay in touch with, or like me you'd like a solid knock about phone for your more physical activities, then the Curve 9320 would be an excellent choice to have.

When the new BB10 phone come out I fully intend to get one and at that time I'll probably be letting the 9900 go, but I think I'll be keeping the Curve 9320 to ride along for more adventures. Oh, and the FM Radio works great as well, even out here I can listen to tunes while I zoom around on the lawn tractor - what's not to like.

Nice review! I usually keep a backup phone too, but right now I'm without!
