... the slightly less 802.11-inclined 8110..." Idk, to me that was just really funny.

..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.
Don't blame AT&T, blame RIM. They're the ones making the blackberries that lack 1 or more features. I prefer the GPS and don't care for the wifi (but would use it if it was available).
George that is not the case. Carriers have the option whether they want these features on the phones. Like AT&T's Pearl had PTT while others didn't. I'm too lazy to check right now, but I am pretty positive that TMobile's newest iteration of the Pearl has both WiFi and GPS.

Long story short: Blame the carriers, not RIM.
