I bought the Storm the day they had the pre-release with Bell. The phone is awesome, aside from a few glitches here and there which I'm sure a manufacturer like RIM will not leave un-resolved in near future updates. As far as WIFI goes, I agree it seems old school for a phone not to have it. I've had an iPod Touch for almost a year now and the WIFI is just annoying when you don't have a hot spot. 3G serves me well. I probably wouldn't even use WIFI if I had it on this phone.
And in case anyone is desperately trying to figure out which locations have the Storm available, try Yorkdale Mall. I got mine from there 2 weeks ago. They were the only place in Canada at that time. I'm sure you'll have luck there for sure!
People WILL, and ARE boxing for the phone.
Cheers!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm in the market for a new phone and money isn't a limitation. I'm also not partial to any particular US carrier, but here are some of the features I'd like to have: WiFi, GPS, good coverage in lots of places, push Gmail (a must!), physical keyboard (a must!), a touchscreen, decent battery life and a relatively slim body. And please, nothing that has a fruit logo on it. No offense to the fruit fans, though. Thanks!"
