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.

In case the recently revealed E-ten Glofish X600 didn’t rock your world, the up-and-coming smartphone manufacturer has pushed their new E-ten Glofish X650 through the FCC’s testing process. We had speculated that the Glofish X600’s spec-sheet failed to include 3G, nor a VGA disply, because they were saving those features for the Glofish X600+ (much like E-ten did when they bumped-up the Glofish X500’s display with the VGA-equipped Glofish X500+). Well, there’s no word of an E-ten Glofish X600+ in the works, but this E-ten Glofish X650 could serve the same function in E-ten’s lineup.

Spotted on the FCC’s website, the E-ten Glofish X650 sports pretty much the same internals as its little-brother, the X600, but adds an FM transmitter that should have you rocking-out to your favorite tunes (as long as there’s an available FM channel to broadcast said tunes). We’re even hearing that the Glofish X650 will have a VGA display – which may mean E-ten is done with the “+” branding in favor of tacking on an addition “50? to the model name to indicate a boosted spec-sheet. Unfortunately, there’s no mention of any 3G radio for the Glofish X650.

We don’t care what E-ten prefers, “+” or “50,” just give us some VGA goodness and we’ll happily accept whatever name they see fit to use.
