I’d have to agree with tnkgrl a device like this should have wifi.

I hope RIM comes out with a non Verizon branded Storm with WiFi.

- Some people prefer an affordable prepaid voice/SMS plan, and rely on WiFi for data (often free and plentiful in cities)
- You can’t surf the web with EVDO on Virgin America’s WiFi-equipped planes
- WiFi allows unique additional features for a phone on your WLAN (see the iPhone Remote app, for example)

I’m of the opinion that a device the Storm’s caliber should have WiFi.

I have heard mixed comments on it from people who have touched one. Certainly looks like a nice device. Wi-Fi would have been a cool addition but if the network is good enough there is really no need.

I’m one of those who are happy with 3G over WiFi on mobile devices when necessary. I’ll have video posted of the Storm on 3G shortly. :)

As JK would say…
See-ya!

Looks nice though.

Verizon’s EVDO is stellar. And I’m stuck with ATT’s “3G”. =/
