If you're in an area where reception is poor and have access to wi-fi, the pros are obvious. Having an office in the bowels of a large building make you appreciate wi-fi more than ever.
Well the argument is that there are some times when you don't have signal but you do have wifi access. Also, some would argue wifi is faster than the storm on 3G. I don't really know, because I've never used a phone with wifi, but it would have been a nice option.

Wifi will always be faster than 3G. Phone companies make a really big deal about having 3G but they never disclose the fact that it is the same speed as old DSL/broadband. While I have not had much trouble just using the cell phone service, If you want instant loading time and fast response wifi is essential.
Is incredible how people do not accepts that WiFi needs to be a given. Are options. Is the same as when we destroy the Iphone because no MMS, no Push Notifications or no Video. If the current QUALCOMM chipset has WiFi why not use it. The "network" is not perfect. For normal operation, Wi-fi is not necessary, but it would've been a nice extra.
I have all these machines, all this storage, and all this media just sitting here in my house, and I can't get to it with WiFi. Try to route through the Internet to get to this stuff is crazy. At work, I can't Remote Access machines down in the Server Room with my Storm. The list goes on and on. The Today Screen and Remote Access are probably the two greatest things I miss about WinMo. Coincidentally, those are two of the thinks BB sucks at. :-(
I pay almost as much for my phone access as I do my home access to the internet. Call me a cheap skate, but I want to get as much out my phone as possible. So for me it is not necessary.

Yep, my office meets that criteria and that's the only place I've been so far that wifi would have been useful. In most cases, if I don't have cell service, chances are pretty good that I'm a long ways from a wifi signal.
