Re: Touch Pro Coming out in 6 to 8 weeks

So I had a lengthy conversation with one of Verizon's (upper) technicians. Purpose, 1) complain that I was disapointed when I bought my son a vz6900, got home and found out it didn't have wifi, I could have read the details closer. OK it's no big deal to my son.
2) It is a big deal to me. I want wifi on my next phone which perhaps will be the Diamond or the Pro. She assured me that they left off the wifi (crippled) on the touch to make it cheaper. (yes, paid $49 at Best Buy for it) She (convincingly) told me that she didn't think that they would deliberately cripple the phone just to sell the data package. (lol) She pointed out that they use the wifi feature to sell a lot of their phones. Obviously there is a lot of speculation on HOW crippled the phones will be when they arrive. I'm not sure but it seems foolish to just guess. Where do these people get their info on less memory, no wifi, disabled features? Unless your in upper management at VZ how would you know?
