AT&T sez "June 13" for BlackBerry 8300?
AT&T customers can rest easy when it comes to getting their BlackBerry addiction satisfied as of late. First, it was the Pearl-esque 8800 reaching AT&T customers months before T-Mobile -- and now it's the BlackBerry 8300, allegedly hitting on the 13th of next month. It's still unclear whether or not AT&T axed the WiFi or not because the product sheets are show it will be launched with support, however the testers are saying "no way." Oh, might as well 86 the intergrated GPS, too, becuase it won't make this version either. But don't sweat too much -- there's already another version in the works that adds location based services for you map lovin' folks. Keep a lookout for the pricing deets![Thanks, anonymous tipster]
RIM: we'll have WiFi BlackBerrys this year
Perhaps the biggest gem to come out RIM's Wireless Enterprise Symposium held earlier this month in Orlando, Senior Vice President David Yach let it slip that the company's first WiFi-capable handsets will launch in the second half of 2007. While pointing out that most of its rivals are owning RIM in the WiFi category, he said that the integration isn't great and RIM had been holding off on adding the feature until they could get it to the point that it would "just work." He goes on to say that WiFi will be used as an alternative when cell coverage isn't available -- and that carrier cooperation has been necessary -- suggesting that VoIP will be a focus. Frankly, RIM, as long as you hold out on delivering 3G to your throngs of AT&T and T-Mobile customers, we'll take all the WiFi we can get.Boy Genius exclusive with the BlackBerry 8800!

Nokia handsets to get iPass WiFi connectivity client
Owners of WiFi-enabled, Series
80- and S60-powered Nokia handsets will soon have "one-click" access to over 50,000 hotspots worldwide thanks
to a new software client being developed in conjunction with trusted connectivity services provider iPass. Already
available for Windows, Macintosh, and Windows Mobile devices, the iPassConnect client gives people an easy way to
connect to any hotspot across some 28 different networks, including T-Mobile, Wayport, and The Cloud, offering both a
consistent user experience and simplified billing. The first models to receive the iPass treatment will be the 9300i and 9500 Communicators, which should see the
new software sometime this summer, followed by a version for E-series devices
by the end of the year.[Via PC World]
