BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) is not joking around when it comes to making their devices more appealing to a wider audience. The 8320 is expected to have a 3.2 megapixel or better camera, 3.5 mm heapdhone jack, microSD slot and compatibility with the latest Windows Media DRM files.
I still refuse to touch a crackberry with a 10 foot pole due to the horrible font rendering. I don’t care how stable your platform is, if I’m going to be reading massive amounts of text I prefer it being in a font that is not reminiscent of courier new.

There are various fonts to choose from.
The first Blackberry with WiFi was the 7270
when does it come out and will it go to other stores like orange or o2 in england
The Blackberry 8320will have UMA, so don’t forget to sign up for the T-Mobile Router while it is free ($50 cost with a $50 mail in rebate). Also, if sign up for the Hotspot@Home service before Sept.4 ,2007 (not officially confirmed) will only be $9.99. After Sept 4, may be $19.99. If signed up before Sept 4, the $9.99 will be locked for the future. UMA (Unauthorized Mobile Access http://www.umatoday.com/) will provide WiFi capabilities to use your home, work, or other wireless router to connect your phone calls and not use up your minutes.
