According to Whatsapp support you can install it on any device running OS 4.5 or higher. You can download the latest OS version for the 8320 here: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...ilanguage.html
Download it to your pc and use Desktop Manager to install it. This process will wipe your 8320 of all data so do a backup with Desktop Manager first, then restore your data.

Once you're sure you've got OS 4.5 on your BlackBerry you can download Whatsapp provided you have a BlackBerry data plan. No BlackBerry data plan, no downloads.

You can download BlackBerry Desktop Manager from RIM's site:
BlackBerry - BlackBerry Desktop Software
This is better than installing from any included software disk that may have come with the BlackBerrys as you get the latest version. Sometimes those disks can be old and contain an outdated version.

The IMEI and PIN numbers are on the BlackBerrys themselves. Simultaneously press the Alt key, the Shift key, and H. The screen will have These numbers as well as the OS version (listed under App Version).

If you bought these devices used and they're password protected you can simply enter the wrong password in 10 times and they'll do a self-wipe/reset.

edit: JSanders beat me to it, and said it better.
