Why no WIFI?!?!

if this phone had wifi then it would not only be an iphone competitor but it would be an iphone killer.

it's going to have stand alone gps without a data package but no wifi? just another scheme by rim & verizon to get ppl to sign up for their data packages.

i'm still gonna get an iphone soon instead of this. but if they change their mind and add wifi then i'm sold and im sure lots more ppl will be too.

Iphone competitor haha, we over here at Verizon don't need Wi-fi which is why it doesn't have it.

Out network is more than stable enough to support and produce high speed data transfer.

AT&T from past experience needs Wi-fi, especially when dealing with their network.

My friends had the Iphone, I don't think not one of them have the garbage anymore.

yup!

Verizons 3G network covers 98% of there service area, and with alltel, it will be everywhere!

AND if there were WiFi, you would still need a Data pack with Verizon sence RIM ask Verizon to do it for every Blackberry.

So if you DID want WiFi, you would was your money for a data pack.

Veriozn 3G is a lot stronger then AT&Ts anyway.

AT&Ts goes into EDGE a whole lot if you go inside a building.

I LOVE Verizons 3G EVDO Rev A. ITS EVERYWHERE!

You Verizon fanboys are so ****ey about your "network", well no "network" advertisements, only the real world. I'm inside a building right now and I have 3G on AT&T, here, how bout you do a speed test, what are your highest, and what are your lowest speeds, real world, no "network"advertisements.

It's ok to be a Verizon supporter. I say we need haters as well. I think the world would be right without Haters.

They push people and companies to be better, so thanks for it.

I don't need to read reviews and to do bandwidth tests to know from hands on experience that AT&T sucks.

Yea, AT&T does suck.
Go out west for a month.

you will get a letter from AT&T saying:
Sorry! But we dont like Roaming, and you have use too much Roaming, so get off our Network!

HAHA! 🤣
Boy does AT&T suck.

Notice there tv stuff only says Best World Coverage.

HAHA!!

Face it, AT&T lost. They knew it was comming. They cant step up there game, so Verizon is taking over!

O yea, Verizons GSM/CDMA phones pick up the same coverage as AT&T when overseas. AND Verizons world plans are cheeper as well!

Thats why business are switching to Verizon.
With Verizons 3G Coverage, and GSM/CDMA phones, you can get 2 times the service.

AT&T is running out of Ideas on what to lie about next. haha!

And now that Verizons Storm has...

AT&T has been releasing the Bold for the last 3 months.

Seems every months they has a new reason on why they can't release it. Starting to become the company that cried wolf.

i doubt the bold will take any of verizons customers with it...atts service sucks...so bragging about it just makes no sense and the only reason you may still might not be able to hear us is because you ATT service is breaking up...oh wait...u dropped the call

There are only so many radios or frequencies that can fit in a box sometimes. In order to make it a "world phone" for Verizon, you have to put a hell of a lot of them in there.

Good luck with AT&T and their inferior network...not sure why you are here except to whine. I would be you will whine even more with AT&T 😢

Still, I like the option of having WiFi especially since I'm a cheap prick that would rather use my own internet that pay extra every month. I have a Dare right now, but ive seen nothing yet that says this will kill the Iphone. We shall see.

perhaps you are not aware but if you get a blackberry, any blackberry (pearl, curve, storm, 8830 it doesnt matter), you have to have a data plan. its not an option. you will pay 24.99 minimum for internet and email(10mb) and most will pay 29.99 for unlimited

Wifi would only be nice if you did not live in a 3g coverage area or just had to have the max speed possible. 3g is almost as fast and is avail across nearly the entire vzw network.

Since you have to have the plan, and since 3g is fast, whats the problem?

I'm just wishing that they made internet access free. that would be nice.

in korea ppl get to access the internet, pay for things, and watch mobile tv all for free all on their cell phones.

when is our country going to catch up! it would be nice not having to pay another 30 bucks a month to have access to 3g, is all i'm saying. the u.s. carriers have to be making a on all the ppl who are paying for that service.

well sdroklee you go and buy an iphone and ill laugh when im reading your post on here complaining about how terrible it is and how you wish you had bought the storm in the first place. this is coming from someone who has already owned the 3g iphone and done their whining about it.
