For all you Blackberry users, you can now rejoice. RIM is releasing later this summer the BlackBerry 8820 which will have built-in WiFi. I think with the release of the iPhone, more smartphones will have WiFi as an option. The cell providers need not to be worried about this kinda of phones steal from their data network. Charge a flat low rate for unlimited internet and those that use a lot will be balanced out by those who are occasional users, but could not afford the higher rate package. So, I'm glad to see another phone with WiFi coming out. Unfortunately, it is coming out on the At&t network and I know that may disappoint some of you.
"TORONTO (Reuters) - BlackBerry maker Research In Motion Ltd. announced a new model of its ubiquitous smartphone on Tuesday, this one able to operate on both cellular and Wi-Fi networks.
The dual-mode BlackBerry 8820, as the device is known, will be launched by AT&T in the United States later this summer, the company said.
"The BlackBerry 8820 complements our carrier partners' cellular networks with the added ability to stay connected via Wi-Fi at home, through hotspots and corporate campuses," RIM co-Chief Executive Mike Lazaridis said in a statement."
