Re: Where is the WIFI

Its going to be in the next model I saw somewhere. Just get the unlimited data plan for around $20 and you dont even need it. You can use BT at home or with friends if you want to as almost everything supports BT.

Re: Where is the WIFI

I agree. What is the point of wifi on a device that already has internet? If you have wifi access you might as well use a computer.

Re: Where is the WIFI

Wifi would have been a nice option. I personally have wireless throughout my home, and my whole school campus is wifi. Almost everywhere I go downtown advertises free wifi.
An argument against the BB internet service would be the price. Why are we paying $20 a month for an archaic connection less than 56k? I get a 1.5 Mps DSL line for 12.99 / month.

Re: Where is the WIFI

~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~
Plus I get severely CRAPPY cell coverage at my house! So I'd LOVE wifi. It would be great to be able to use the darn thing without always checking for a signal is huge for me!
