| |  Will we ever see a world phone with WiFi from Blackberry?
Just curious if any has heard anything... I thought the Tour would be the answer to this question but I was wrong  .

Can you be a little more clear? What do you consider world phone? Because the Tour is technically a "world phone."

Well, the Storm 2 is *rumoured* to have WIFI..and being on VZ and Vodafone having a high 45-49% stake in VZ, they'll make it a world phone.

Oh, ok. Well all BB's after the Tour is said to have wifi. So I guess wait for the next BB after the Tour and BAM, wifi.
Storm 2 should have wifi and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a world phone since the Storm 1 was one.

oh dear.. perhaps the Mod can change the title again?..
ta-dah!>>>> CDMA world phone with wifi?..
I frankly dont understand the myopia of Sprint & VZ with regard to BB's and wifi.. Surely someone in those companies KNOWS that CDMA is not a world standard and also travels internationally?..
If only TMO had a better overall 3G network coverage I would be there like a shot... Wifi and UMA is the poor mans international roaming!...
I am getting slowly tired of committing more and more to my BB yet leaving it on the dresser when i travel 6 times a year...

So, to make sure I understand, the Storm 2 is rumored to have wifi, correct?
What does "rumored" really mean? like 50-50 chance? 70-30?
Or, given it's use on VZW, 100% for everyone but Verizon?
(I realize that no one really knows at this point, just looking for any speculation by those who always seem to know this sort of stuff)

Doesn't really make sense to not include WIFI on CDMA phones.. their Windows Mobile phones prior to that have WIFI. Check the PPC-6700 on Sprint, and the XV6700 on Verizon. Same goes for their bigger brothers, the 6800, 6900..etc

This is more a carrier issue than a RIM issue. Sprint and VZ are not big fans of wifi on BB devices.
