BlackBerry Curve on T-Mobile, with Wi-Fi and more - infoSync World:

"T-Mobile picks up the newest BlackBerry to get Wi-Fi, and enables it for UMA calling T-Mobile today announced the addition of the BlackBerry Curve to its UMA lineup. UMA phones, under T-Mobile's HotSpot@Home brand, can swap calls between VoIP-like Wi-Fi connections and standard cellular service. Under T-Mobile's plan, calls originating from a Wi-Fi connection do not count against a customer's standard minutes plan.

We had a chance to test the BlackBerry Curve on AT&T, and were generally pleased with the multimedia additions made to the stodgy BlackBerry line.

Additionally, we were very fond of the T-Mobile @Home service, and in fact our only complaint was the lack of a viable handset for users, as we found the Nokia 6086 to be less than ideal.

We think the addition of the Curve to the @Home lineup is a great move, and will make this a compelling service for business phone users. We have a review unit that we are testing in house, and we'll have a complete, in-depth review of the Curve's Wi-Fi and UMA capabilities this week. The new Curve will be available in Titanium or Champagne colors. Pricing and avaiability have yet to be announced. "
