BlackBerry 8320s I don’t know if we can chalk this up to faulty copy writing, but word has it that T-Mobile’s BlackBerry 8320 has video clip recording available. Video recording is something a lot of folks are looking for, it’s surprising that it’s a feature that slipped under the radar. Since the 8320 just came out yesterday, maybe some of you fine readers out there who picked one up can confirm or deny these rumors.

UPDATE: The overwhelming majority has spoken, and confirmed that the 8320 doesn’t have any video capture capabilities at present. Either T-Mobile’s let the cat out of the bag on an upcoming feature, or it’s just a full-blown marketing screwup.

I would quickly take this down. There is no video capture utility built in. The version OS that comes with the 8320 is still 4.2.2 and RIM has not added the ability to the OS. I’m a lil shocked bbc would put this up when it couldve easily been verified before it went up and started a baseless buzz.

The rumor came from the T-Mobile website:
“Capture short video clips to keep for yourself or share with friends and family.”

T-Mobile did the same thing when the 8800 was released, why is it so hard for them to get their specs right?

What gets me is that video capture on the Curve should be a no-brainer for RIM. I’d bet money that the CMOS sensor that RIM used for the Curve and the upcoming Pearl II has on-chip M-JPEG compression. It would be pretty stupid not to use a camera that doesn’t do the compression for you, so all you have to do is handle multiplexing the audio and video into an AVI. Even a pathetic CPU can manage that. For example, here is a 2Mpixel smartphone camera sensor that can do 30FPS M-JPEG output at SVGA size… forget just VGA size.

I FOUND IT. Yes another clue. create an email, use the menu to attach a file. It provides a folder directory to search including, music, photos and VIDEO. Interesting that such a folder is there. Also the BES server has a new it policy in the .4 service pack that controls ‘video recording’. It looks like it is coming.

What type of video does the 8320 accept on the sd card to play, I’ve tried a lot of different types I get audio but no visual.

I work for an T-Mobile Exclusive dealer and no it does not have it. Why they advertised that it did I do not know but I also have the BB Curve 8310 from AT+T & it als o does not have video capabilities, but the BB Pearl (8100 Series) phones do although the Curve (8300 Series) is 50 to 100 dollars more. ??????????
