..moving on. WTF IS IT WITH AT&T?! Why can't they sell a BlackBerry with GPS, WiFi, AND a camera? On behalf of my fellow Engadgeteers, I will write a letter to AT&T, I will put my English degree* to good use.

Dear AT&T,
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?! Give us a fully spec'd Blackberry--make that two, one with a fully QWERTY and another with that half-cocked SureType that seems to be sellin' like "crack-injected hotcakes." We'll let you get away with these 2.5G iterations, but the next set better come equipped with the aforementioned in addition to 3G.

Long story short: Blame the carriers, not RIM.]]>Apr 23rd 2008 12:41PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/22/wifi-less-blackberry-8110-showing-up-in-atandt-stores/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/22/wifi-less-blackberry-8110-showing-up-in-atandt-stores/The 8130 has both 3G support and access to VZ Navigator.

If AT&T or T-Mobile pressured RIM to provide them with a product that included a 3G Radio, GPS capability for audible turn by turn directions and Wi-Fi, they'd do it.

I love the form factor and call quality of my T-Mobile Pearl 8120, but would welcome GPS support in addition to WiFi.

Once 3G is blanketed everywhere by AT&T and T-Mobile, WiFi might seem less important but GPS capability will continue to remain high as we head into 2009. ]]>Apr 23rd 2008 12:59PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/22/wifi-less-blackberry-8110-showing-up-in-atandt-stores/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/22/wifi-less-blackberry-8110-showing-up-in-atandt-stores/
lol

i was rofl @ "slightly less inclined"

i would LOVE to hear an AT&T rep say "or for $50 less we have this other blackberry. it looks the same but is slightly less 802.11-inclined"

or

"yes Mr. Smith this used car will be great for you! it has a radio, heater, and a slightly less cooling-inclined a/c" ]]>Apr 23rd 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/22/wifi-less-blackberry-8110-showing-up-in-atandt-stores/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/04/22/wifi-less-blackberry-8110-showing-up-in-atandt-stores/Thats a plus to me. 8)]]>Apr 25th 2008 4:50PM
