The Curve 8320 is small for a device with a full QWERTY keypad. It measures 107mm tall by 60mm wide by 15.5mm thick and weighs 111g — ideal for the mobile professional.

The keyboard is remarkably ergonomic thanks to two design features: the keys are well separated from each other and are nicely raised from their surroundings. This makes it relatively easy to hit them accurately with even the stubbiest of fingertips.

Above the keypad is the now-familiar mini-trackball that allows for directional movement within and between applications. This centrally positioned navigation device is more ergonomic for left- and right-handed users than a side-mounted scroll button. To its left and right are menu and back keys, and, outside them, Call and End keys.
