The BlackBerry Curve 8320, previously available in the U.S. via T-Mobile, is now available on AT&T for $149 with a 2-year contract. The most interesting feature of this new release is the WiFi capabilities of the device. AT&T is bundling free AT&T WiFi hotspot access with the device for customers who subscribe to unlimited corporate or personal BlackBerry service plans. AT&T WiFi hotspots are widely available in Starbucks and Barnes & Noble stores, as well as in various airports and hotels.

However, there's no word yet on whether or not AT&T's pitch of "free and seamless access to thousands of AT&T Wi-Fi Hot Spots in the U.S." means that BlackBerry Curve 8320 owners can bypass the headache of entering their phone numbers and receiving an SMS text message with the temporary code needed to access the WiFi Hotspot each time they try to access a new hotspot, like iPhone owners do.
