Default Does the Spring 8330 have WiFi?

I'm asking for a friend. His internet got shut off at his apartment and he just got a new 8330 Curve. I told him some phones have WiFi.

Does this one?

No, the 8330 is not WiFi-capable.

Nope, the 8320 is the Wi-Fi Curve.

However, your friend can go to the library, download Smartview Software from the Sprint Website to a disc, install it on their computer, and tether using the 8330 as a wireless modem.

I hope I describe that accurately.

Yeah, but you need to download the set up application. Then move that to the computer and use that to install the program.

To the OP I'm a bit confused as to why he would want wifi on his phone if the internet at his house got shut off. You need the internet to get the wifi to work.
