  • BIG BIG MISTAKE by RIM.

    SORRY>>> No WiFi NO GOOD... no matter how many other features it may pack..... not being able to connect to my home network is a deal breaker.

    What on EARTH were they thinking?

    iJah420 say they weren't.

  • No WiFi?? I won't be buying this phone then.Why would I when there are other fantastic touch screen smart phones out there with it. I don't get why RIM left this off,but it was not a good move. Posted by Andy Goode, Enlgand
  • No wifi may be a deal breaker for some, but to be honest I work in an office with 8 blackberry users and none of us have ever used the Wifi feature on our blackberry's. For us the ability to run Bloomberg on the Blackberry means that iPhone will never have a chance of taking our business.

    Will be interesting to see how the size compares to the iPhone.
