    Hello everyone! I just got a BlackBerry today, and it is simply the most Wonderful thing I've Ever Had. But, upon reading these forums, I have stumbled upon a problem.

    Not doing preliminary research (a fault on my part), I had assumed I was purchasing a BlackBerry that was top of the line, a BlackBerry Curve 8310.

    Curious about its capabilities, and finding the documentation lacking, I stumbled upon CrackBerry.com. To my dismay, it turns out that there's a BlackBerry 8320, with WiFi support!

    So much question is this:

    Should I return my BlackBerry 8310 for an 8320? What is the price difference? I got my BB with a service plan renewal: Will they allow me to trade-in my 8310?

    If you want a 8320 you would have to get it here in the buy/sell forum or ebay since its a tmobile bb and you are with att.

    I don't think at&t carries the 8320, you will likely need to get the 8820 if you want wifi.

    Yup, no 8320 on AT&T. I have the 8310 & I love my phone. If you REALLY need the WiFi, then you might want the 8820 - which lacks a camera.

    Just remember if you do stay with ATT and go for an 8820, you won't have a camera. Alternatively, there's lots of threads on here about unlocking phones so, if you do want to stay with ATT, you might be able to use an unlocked 8320. I am no unlocking expert so I can't say whether or not you can. Some searching here should give you lots of answers.

    More of a carrier issue than anything else.

    AT&T does not support UMA Internet calling (basically VOIP for cell phones). T-mobile does. So T-Mobile has a more advanced Curve option (I believe the AT&T fans might tell you that their AT&T Curves have navigation connectability that T-Mobile doesn't).

    More really an issue of what you want your Curve to do.

    I'm personally not a big AT&T fan so the choice of using T-Mobile is pretty clear cut. If you want to do more research on UMA calling, take a trip over to T-Mobile's website. But do keep in mind that getting a T-Mobile Curve will NOT allow you to make UMA calls on the AT&T network because AT&T simply does not support UMA service.

    Thank you very much! You have helped me quite a bit. I think I will stick with my 8310 then; I've already become attached to it so much, I couldn't bear to give it up, lol.

    You will enjoy it more than you know. And once you get addicted to using the GPS you will enjoy it even more.
