AT&T and Research In Motion have taken the wraps off the BlackBerry Curve 8320. The new model costs $149.99 after rebate with a two-year contract. It is available online now and will hit retail early next year.

The two companies say the Curve 8320 offers more extensive data coverage and allows you to converse and access data simultaneously, as it supports AT&T's 3G network. It also integrates Bluetooth with support for stereo headsets and Wi-Fi.

Users can use the latter to access more than 17,000 AT&T Hot Spots, including those at Starbucks and Barnes & Noble, nationwide free of charge—just like AT&T does with the iPhone.

In addition, the sapphire blue Curve 8320 features an enhanced HTML browser. It has RIM's now ubiquitous trackball for navigation. And you can download, edit, create and read Microsoft Office files with the preloaded DataViz Documents To Go software.

Like other full-size BlackBerries, the Curve 8320 sports a full QWERTY keyboard and a built-in spell-checker.

Additional features include a 2-megapixel camera with zoom, media player, and a microSD/SDHC card storage expansion with support for cards up to 16GB in size. The Curve 8320 supports the AT&T Music subscription services and integrates the carrier's Push To Talk offering.

There's no integrated GPS.
