Carrier: AT&T/Cingular............maybe he just forgot to change that in his profile.Why would you be disappointed? Your not even a VZW customer. That would be kinda like me being disappointed in YOUR wife!
LMAO @ your post. I'm thinking the OP had no idea how funny this would become.03-29-09 11:02 PM - i USED to be a verizon customer. I love everything about verizon except for their limiting of simple features just like this. Like i stated, maybe you don't need the wi-fi, but im saying my plan that includes a business of 15 lines NEEDS wi-fi, if their service had this... They would have 15 more numbers just like that. Afterall this is a forum and i am free to speak my mind.Why would you be disappointed? Your not even a VZW customer. That would be kinda like me being disappointed in YOUR wife!03-30-09 12:33 AM
- I'm missing something. I don't know if anyone has noticed this, but No CDMA blackberry has ever had Wi-Fi. Not to kill a perfectly good thread, but I really don't think it's Verizon. Although Verizon is one of RIM's largest customers, they don't hold the lion's share of RIM's sales. I find it very difficult to believe that RIM would omit Wi-Fi on all CDMA handsets at the request of Verizon.
I don't know. Just a thought....
And for the record, a decent Wi-Fi G connection will tear up an EVDO connection any day of the week. Verizon has a top of the line network, but it's not Wi-Fi. A Rev. 0 EVDO device (which is what you typically find today) has a max throughput of 2.4mbs. Wi-Fi G has a limit of 54mbs, but typically you will see 5-6mbs. Even newer Rev. A devices have a max of 3.1mbs. It just can't compete. You may get a better signal on Verizon's network, but it's because you're trying to use the Wi-Fi in your neighbors house. I for one would love to see a Wi-Fi CDMA Blackberry, but it isn't going to be anytime soon.
Anyway, take this for what it's worth, but Wi-Fi is useful, and not everyone lives next door to a Verizon tower.

There is no good reason for this not to have wifi. Maybe VZW will surprise us all, the phone has not even been announced yet and final specs are STILL not know.
Ultimately I'm with the "it's not a deal breaker crowd" BUT really there is no good reason for this phone NOT to be the first CDMA BB with wifi.
