Default Blackberry 9630 Niagara for Verizon

BGR has posted some details on it. We've all known this was the CDMA variant of the Bold for a while. But wow, c'mon Verizon. No wifi? This pretty much confirms that VZW is the one behind the lack of wifi on the Storm and other devices and not RIM.

i think the saying is playing the devils advocate, WiFi does not bring in money for Verizon (or any carrier for that matter)...

not saying i agree with their standing (if it's really them stopping RIM)

Yes, but if you use WiFi a lot and can get the same phone with it with another carrier, wouldn't you go to the other carrier?

They can't think like that. Most people just want to get the best prices they can get.
