Today T-Mobile USA has started offering the RIM BlackBerry Curve 8320. The original 8300 Curve, sold in the USA by AT&T, lacks the new 8320's WiFi and UMA support. This new WiFi based UMA support will allow users of T-Mobile's HotSpot@Home service to use an 8320 for free VOIP calls over their home WiFi network in addition to being able to do the same from any of the thousands of T-Mobile HotSpots located in the country.
Apart from the WiFi data connectivity, which can also be used for things like web browsing in addition to VOIP calls, the 8320 is nearly a clone of the original 8300. As such, it sports the same quad-band GSM/EDGE network support as did the 8300 that we reviewed back in July. This new T-Mobile version of the Curve does add support for AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, and ICQ instant messaging right out of the box, and it also, naturally, supports T-Mobile's MyFaves system.
The BlackBerry 8320 Curve is available on T-Mobile in two colors: titanium and gold. It can be purchased now on the T-Mobile website for US$249.99 after an instant rebate of $150 and a mail-in rebate of $50, when purchased with a new 2 year commitment.

Can you tell me for the 8320 what is the memory card that should go into it to record videos. I just bought a Memory Stick Mobile Ultra and it does not seem to fit. Please let me know what kind I need

All of the BlackBerry devices use microSD cards. It says that much in the manual and even in teh spec table, above....
