T-Mobile BlackBerry Curve (8320) in the concrete jungle!
Yes folks, it really is a "gold" color. Here’s the but, though: it has been said to us that T-Mobz might be offering a choice of the gold color, and silver/titanium color at launch! We don’t have to go into too much detail here. You know when it’s coming, what it is, and what it does. Have a good weekend, guys! We’ll still be here banging away at the latest tech news…Couple more shots after the jumpage!
Thanks, Goat!
Isn’t titanium a kind of matte goldish color? I think that IS the titanium. It just looks more gold than it really is due to lighting and poor focus.
I guess if you don’t like it you can put a blackberry skin on it and have whatever color you want…
I’m super excited about this!!! I was sitting around twiddling my thumbs waiting for Sprint to drop the blackberry Curve, oh well for that. Since I’m already a T-mobile prepaid customer (Sidekick), I decided I might as well keep the number, change over to contract and get my BB Curve!!! WOOHOO!!
I hear ya TiaBia! I was using an 8800 with att than I cancelled and went with T-mo because there cheaper and better customer service. When I went to T-mo I switched back to my old sidekick 2! I have been waiting since may to get my hands on the curve, much less back to a blackberry (crackberry addicted!) So through with the sidekick.
It actually isnt gold, not sure if its a bad picture or what.
But all retail T-Mo stores recieved a packet with info about the Curve, EVERY picture of it (and there are tons) show it as silver. Also on T-Mobile’s application Streamline, it also shows the Curve as silver.
Nice of Boy to “borrow” my photos. I posted this on Blackberry forms and you slap your logo on it. NICE>>>>>> at least give credit where you get the pics! The pictures were taken with a vary bad 8100. I will post clearer pictures but not at this site. I use to be a fan of this site until they “borrowed” my pictures……..very disappointing
Blackberry forms?
sounds like someone needs some cheese. I’m calling shenanigans on these being your shots of the evaluation unit. Proof? You say you have the phone, lets see some updated pics?
yup these were posted someone else amazing that BGR logo is placed on this site when the pics weren’t even posted by boygenius on the forums. They just put up a box of the retail of curve for tmobile but it got taken off since next thing you know they get put up on here with the BGR logo on it.
Guys, relax. Me and my team rarely visit that forum, and we were just informed of this a very short while ago. This was a simple misunderstanding. It has all be taken care of, and credit has been given to whom it was rightfully due.
Funny, I heard there was going to be a flannel striped one called the burberry… Eww :/
haha, well glad you gave credit where it was due. Could have been handled differently i think, not like it was valuable or anything.
I was hoping for matte black to match my MV Agusta. This “gold” just bloody screams ninja or gixxer. Yuck.
Another confirmation from T-Mobile themselves:
The BlackBerry Curve is in fact dropping on the hard date of September 24th. As per the color, I was told the only model they have now is a “dark gray pear,” but that like the popularity of the Pearl in multiple colors, the Curve may very well see different variations (i.e., the gold we see here). No pricing has been disclosed yet, but look for it in the range of the 8700 and 8800 models.
Also, the Pearl Colors are dropping next Wednesday.
*CORRECTION*
“Dark gray pearl” was the description, not pear.
Anyone have any idea how much the T-mobile curve will cost at launch?
Tmo will price these between the 15th and 24th of Sept. Keep on calling into the CSR’s and asking them.
I just hope the price is significantly better than the newly published iphone prices $399 (8GB) and $299 (4GB), considering the data plan for the iphone is relatively cheaper than what tmobile will be asking for.
All,
I posted clearer pictures on Blackberry forums if you want to look – http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-8300-series-discussion/93161-t-mobile-8320-a-4.html#post658015
release date is Sept. 24th and they will offer two colors. The pale gold and titanium colors. My first pictures well they sucked and I hope Boy will take the new ones from Blackberry Forums and replace them. Thanks
Why is it that the only Blackberry which has received WiFi certification from the WiFi Alliance is the Blackberry 8820? There is no mention of the 8320 receiving such a certification. You can check it here:

I don’t care.. just want them to come out already!!
BG,
One of your original posts on the 8320 said it came with a 2.5mm jack and not the standard 3.5mm one available on the 8300. Is this still the case? Because that would really be a shame considering its multimedia features. Thanks!
just got off the phone with the rep at the westwood t-mobile store in los angeles who confirmed that there will be a choice between gold and titanium
I am a T-mobile CSR rep and we will have a choice at launch on Monday sept 24th of Titanium and a “pale” gold for the curve. Hope that helps in your concerns on the color
I just pick up my 8320 LOVE IT! The only thing that I would add is for it to have GPS built in. And you dont have to get gold either……you have a choice between gold and titanium. I set up the hotspot at home and LOVE IT too! The WIFI is mac daddy.
