Orange UK and Research In Motion (RIM) announced the launch of two new Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry smartphones to customers in the UK - the BlackBerry Curve 8320 and the BlackBerry Pearl 8120.

The BlackBerry Curve 8320 with built-in Wi-Fi offers an exceptional design and rich combination of features. Available in a liquid silver finish, the BlackBerry Curve 8320 is RIM's smallest and lightest full-QWERTY keyboard smartphone and includes a two megapixel digital camera, music and video player, a standard 3.5mm stereo headset jack and a microSD/SDHC card slot for expandable memory storage.

The BlackBerry Pearl 8120 with built-in Wi-Fi is ideal for people who want business-grade functionality in an ultra-sleek phone. It enables users to customise the Home Screen with shortcuts to frequently used business applications, as well as providing convenient and quick ways to trial games, ringtones and more from Orange Downloads. It also comes complete with a two megapixel digital camera, music and video player, a standard 3.5mm stereo headset jack and a microSD/SDHC card slot for expandable memory storage.

The BlackBerry Curve 8320 and BlackBerry Pearl 8120 smartphones combine EDGE/GPRS/GSM cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity for data access and voice support (UMA). The smartphones switch seamlessly between Wi-Fi and GSM networks, making them fully compatible with Unique from Orange, which allows customers to use one device for all their calls.

The new BlackBerry Curve 8320 and BlackBerry Pearl 8120 smartphones are available online at Orange.co.uk, in Orange retail stores throughout the UK, and through selected authorised dealers.
