You're exactly right. A ton of businesses and governments prohibit devices w/built-in cameras so I imagine RIM will always continue to have at least one device that doesn't have a camera.]]>May 29th 2007 11:38AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/
AT&T/Cingular (mostly) is against wi-fi on their phones. i could see this one on t-mobile.

I am currently on T-mobile and was about to get the Dash, but this would be better for my needs. My wife needs a new phone soon, but I want to get her on the BB bandwagon. HELP me with a release date!
It seems like this would be advertised a lot more if it was really supposed to be out during Q3 this year. The Dash is only reviewed higher than the Curve because of the lack of WiFi. ]]>Jun 8th 2007 4:04PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 4th 2007 11:27AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 8th 2007 6:25PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 7th 2007 10:49AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 9th 2007 1:39PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/ ]]>Jul 12th 2007 10:03AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 15th 2007 2:26PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 17th 2007 7:36PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/
It could be my PDA with wi-fi. Cingular is not good in my area.]]>Jul 18th 2007 12:30PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 18th 2007 1:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 18th 2007 1:41PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 18th 2007 12:49PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 19th 2007 7:04PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 25th 2007 12:03PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/Jul 25th 2007 12:05PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/thanks]]>Jul 25th 2007 12:07PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/
I'd like to see a demo of this phone utilizing the Wi-Fi connection to browse the internet.
: without a sim card
: without a purchased data plan
: without a blackberry enterprise server
: without VPN

for example a Linksys Wireless Router using cable / dsl like most home small networks.]]>Aug 13th 2007 7:48PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/05/28/hands-on-with-rims-wifi-equipped-blackberry-8820/
I'm a UK user and I picked up one of these on the orange network today. It's rather nice, it's my first smartphone (new business) and I like it. It has EDGE (not 3G), WiFi (which is very fast, tricky with my apple WEP, but got past it), very beautiful display, GPS built-in and of course all the Blackberry features (push mail etc).
It's the slimmest one that they've released and it's very sleek and pretty. As a mac user I have some thoughts - you can't sync using bluetooth, only USB (through pocketmac software) and you can't easily send a file to the device, you have to upload files to your own webspace and then download them onto the device or email them to yourself at the expense of using up your monthly MB allowance. However it does sync all ical and address book details quickly.
Roller ball is accurate and activates in low-light. Allows for Micro-SD cards too.

Anyone want any further information?
