No WiFi from what I understand. What could have been a perfect product becomes an "almost"... :-(

Lack of Wi-Fi is not the only internet issue mate. This storm has no lightning, because it doesn't have Flash!

"...3.2-megapixel autofocus cam with dedicated flash..."

Did you even read the synopsis? Even though you can't see a flash doesn't mean it's not there.

I agree. No wi-fi, no interest. Unfortunate, as it sounded very promising. What were they thinking?

@ revolvert5:

He meant flash for the browser, so that embedded youtube videos and flash could be viewed directly in the browser. Follow the context clues bubby.

Uhh... Adobe Flash, dude. That's why it was capitalized in his statement - it's a proper noun. Camera flash isn't a proper noun, so it would be lower case. Did you ever pass 4th grade English? ;)

It took a year and a half before the iPhone got Flash support. Let's give the Storm at least half that time (8 months) to get a software update to support Flash. Its a bummer there isn't Flash support right away but its not unheard of not to support Flash at release and have an update for it later. There is support for all social networking sites and YouTube so that should curb some of the need for Flash.

I only see 3 negatives with this phone and none are deal breakers when you look at all the other features this phone packs that others don't. Lack of wi-fi, no Flash and lack of graphics accelerator. If RIM follows Apples lead they will release a super Storm with those three things added in about a year or so.
