Orange and RIM have announced the launch of two new Wi-Fi-enabled BlackBerry smartphones to customers in the UK - the BlackBerry Curve 8320, previously only launched in the States, and the BlackBerry Pearl 8120, already available on Vodafone and T-Mobile.

The BlackBerry Curve 8320 (with that lovely built-in Wi-Fi) will be available in a "liquid silver" finish.

The Curve 8320 is RIM's smallest and lightest full-Qwerty keyboard smartphone and includes a 2-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 aimed at those who want business-grade functionality in an ultra-sleek phone.

In addition to the BlackBerry-ness, the Pearl 8120 on Orange will feature the Orange Signature Home Screen that can be customised frequently used shortcuts.

The 8120 also comes complete with a 2-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 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.
