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?

I don't know why they can't tell the public or at least their own employees so only when asked, they can give out valuable information. Even if they said, there has been many issues with phone 'x' and there is only an 80% chance we are even going to carry that phone. I could live with that; but would still go look up and try to find out what problems their were and maybe avoid the phone all together. And if they just said 80% chance, not final yet, I would still be happier then as frustrated as I am when they try to hide new phones. And when they come out they act like we never new about them and are supposed to be amazed by how far the technology has come since the carrier down the street released it 2 months before them. And still we knew about it on a gadget site 8 months earlier when the FCC approved it for sale in the US.
Maybe we are just really dumb like that and we are just to dumb to know it...
