    I am looking for a Blackberry that has Wifi as I don't need the phone function, but I want to net surf and listen to internet radio stations via Wifi.

    AT&T
    * 8820 (GPS and Camera) You need data for the GPS though.
    * 8120 (Wifi & Camera) No GPS, but SureType device.

    Tmobile
    * 8820 (same deal as AT&T's version with myFAVES, yay! j/k)
    * 8320 (WiFi and Camera) No GPS, full QWERTY.
    * 8120 (same deal as AT&T's version)

    With the radio stations, I"m unsure if it possible over WiFi only. Hopefully someone can chime in as well.

    I have Verizon as a carrier, but they charge for every extra they can and that is why I said the phone function isn't important.

    To the best of my knowledge, there are no BB on Verizon that offers WiFi. That just leave you with AT&T and T-mobile as stated above.

    Internet radio was one thing I wanted when I was choosing a phone. I know some Windows OS smartphones do it. As far as internet radio for Blackberry, it's possible. I haven't found a way to do it yet. however, Sprint has their out internet radio package that comes with their On Demand package. However, I stay away from Sprint so I'm not sure which Blackberry they offer. However, the T-Mobile Curve is the one I have and it has wifi and the Blackberry e-mail and web package is only $19.99. I believe other carriers charge $29.99 and up for it.

    If you're not using the phone functionality, have you thought about going with a Nokia N810 or an ipod touch?

    I'm really thinkin that you don't want a BB. As stated before I would get an ipod touch. I have one and it is a great mobile web device. Welcome to CB

    Mmm, yeah if you really don't need the phone feature than an iPod Touch is probably a good idea - if not & you want a Blackberry then definitely the 8320 on T-Mobile.

    Here is another idea. You can get a Blackberry and an iPod Touch.

    The issue is internet radio. I was able to find some internet radio programs for the BB, but I'm unsure if they can be accessed through WiFi.

    I like the I touch, but it for now doesn't support flash, so it cant do streaming audio like what is running online radio, maybe they will change that.
