VZW wi-fi

so i see that the device is said to have Wi-Fi but VZW doesnt advertise that at all and when i asked a guy that worked at the store he said it doesn,t does anyone know if it will or not, and also if it doesnt will there be a way to "unlock" the phone to activate the wi-fi?

Re: VZW wi-fi

why would they block wifi, it doesnt use their network. i think this is another apple fan rumor like they were trying yesterday with the exchange fee they were were misreporting all day.

If they didn't block the HTC Touch Pro 2's wifi, they're not blocking the Motorola Droid's either... especially it being their flagship Android phone.

Re: VZW wi-fi

I just got my droid. I asked the rep about the 5gb limit on the unlimited data plan - he said there is no limit on the droid - the 5gb limit is only on datacards for laptops.

So don't worry about the wi-fi

and if you still are ... the wi-fi is unhindered in the Droid (it's in my hands on wi-fi now)

everything is unhindered on the Droid !

Re: VZW wi-fi

??With this being teh Flagship, they will unleash the hounds with it. Maybe in the future ti will be limited. Also they are right . I am sure All networks would encourage Wifi as it allows you to use a wireless connection other than there data.Hence cutting back on the mobile use
