		<description>FYI,

Verizon will be offering about 5 to 7 wi-fi phones in the next 6-8 months, with 4 of those being blackberries. Look for it in the future. :)</description>

		<description>Phil,

I guess I am disputing whether WiFi is as fast as GPRS. Yes, in theory WiFi is faster if you have a single user per station. But it is not that simple.....WiFi can deteriorate very quickly with a number of users. Even if not, the speed of the network is just one component. NET: It doesn&#039;t have much of an impact on customer experience.

So given I already pay for unlimited data, I am not sure what the extra benefit is.</description>

		<description>CE, I think you missed the point.  Before this, your unlimited data plan only allowed for access to the data cellular network (EDGE / GPRS).  Now you will be able to access all of AT&amp;T&#039;s wifi hotspots as well, on a (generally much better throughput) 802.11 connection.  Since you are already a data customer, it&#039;s free - you won&#039;t have to pay the $20.  That option is available for folks who want access but aren&#039;t an ATT mobility data or premium broadband customer.</description>
