| T-Mobile USA, Inc., and Research In Motion announced the Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry Curve 8320, the first BlackBerry handset available in the U.S. that supports T-Mobile HotSpot HomeSM over a Wi-Fi connection and great in-home mobile coverage. With built-in support for T-Mobile HotSpot Home, customers can enjoy great mobile coverage and, with the HotSpotHome Add-On Plan, customers can enjoy unlimited calling over a Wi-Fi network as well as unlimited Wi-Fi calling at nearly 8,500 T-Mobile HotSpot locations nationwide. When you leave home or a T-Mobile HotSpot, calls are seamlessly transferred onto T-Mobile’s wireless network, and the same is true for transferring calls from T-Mobile’s network onto Wi-Fi networks. T-Mobile introduced its HotSpot Home service in June. The BlackBerry Curve 8320 provides advanced multimedia capabilities including a two-megapixel camera, a music and video player, a 3.5mm stereo headset jack and a microSD card slot for expandable memory storage. |  |
