why put wifi on a device cause most hotspots charge you and if u use wifi at home you must have spent all your money on the damn phone and dont have a computer at home

Actually yes, the Storm can multi task you can listen to music and surf the net, you talk and look up that much important stock update at the same time. Please do your homework before you type on here. because then you wouldn't seem like an idiot when you do.

I switched from AT&T from verizon back in august hoping that the bold would be out by then since my contract for verizon had expired. And being that verizon had no new phones coming out that appealed to me ( aside from the storm which was delayed as much as the bold was) i decided to suck it up and get the Iphone...GASP!!! i live in the Washington DC area and my experience with verizon was great in the city and decent at home at best..(to be fair where i live no carrier really gets reception past 2 bars due to a military base near by). I had been a verizon customer for 8 LONG years and have had the spectrum of "hot" phones that they've provided, which to put bluntly are crap. they cripple phones to no end for what? Honestly i hate the Iphone hype as much as any other loyal VZW fanboy out there but my iphone is the best experience ive ever had with a cell phone. ive gone through all the motorola, palm, and RIM devices that have supposedly changed the game when it comes to cell phones and ive never been happier than i am now. The network for AT&T is just as good as my Verizon Experience was, although my data speeds are faster with AT&T. Basically im happy i didnt wait for the Storm on verizon, i know people say that WIFI isnt important if you have a data plan blah blah blah, but really for a device like this it should be on there reguardless. WIFI on a Smartphone should be a standard feature! you may think you wont need it but there are times im glad i have wifi ready and waiting on my phone. Now if the Storm is really as great as everyone hopes it will be, ill just wait for GSM variant to be made (which it will) and it wont have ANY crippled features. Theres nothing worse than spending the money to buy that nice car you always wanted and pay all that money just to find out that theres no Air Conditioning or Radio in the damn thing!

your speed isnt faster with att... well unless they recently upgraded that area... Edge is slow as dirt... I can understand why WIFI seems super great to you because with your Iphone you cant download anything without being in a WIFI spot... The storm was never delayed.. The date has always been late october early november. In all your probably just an att fanboy trying to mask his argument and love for the network....

yes the speed is upgraded in this area to 3g, and i had 3g service with verizon as well. maybe the speed seems faster simply on a hardware basis. as for being an att fanboy, you can call me one now since i was a verizon fanboy for 8 years justifying their ridiculous actions with crappy phone choices and UI. As for having WIFI available on a phone it has nothing to do with haviong an iphone, i would just as much enjoy having wifi with an HTC phone or even t-mobiles G-1. Having wifi speed beats any network that verizon and att can come up with at the moment, and you dont have to worry about any crazy 5 gig data caps, which i was hit with on several occasions on VZW with my blackberry with e-mail in a month alone.
