Is WiFi function hackable on Sprint Touch?

FOLLOW UP:
I did a little research, and it seems Spectec is coming out with a wifi MicroSD card.
It says it's for WM5 though...
Anyone with a Sprint Touch care to try this out when there is an option to buy it?
... If I end up getting a Touch (maybe in a couple weeks) I will buy it from you if you don't really need it and only bought it to test it.
... curious...

I don't use internet on my phone much at all. Only when I am at home, friends house, hotspots, etc. I really only use it for updating the weather and checking email (and checking ppcgeeks.com). But the cost of the WiFi microSD card could be paid for within 6 months or less of EVDO service. I will just have to see how I like it using Bluetooth at home for my regular services. Maybe when I upgrade my phone/plan I can convince Sprint to throw in PowerVision for a couple months. We'll see.

Do you ever notice the SERO plan? Do a search here or google and you will know.

According to the FCC release.. the HTC Vogue 100 has wifi...I think its in there.. its just how to get in there and activated. I'm wondering if flashing the original HTC Vogue Rom would somehow activate the wifi.. I just hate that you pay 500.00 for a phone.. and then Sprint says "we don't want you to have this service and disables it"

So the HTC Vogue doesn't have Wifi...I just got off the phone with HTC America and they assured me that the HTC Vogue does have wifi but sprint has disabled it...because they want you to use the EVDO network and pay for it. It makes perfect sense for business though.. if I knew that I could connect to the internet through my wifi connection...why would i use sprint's service

I didn't know SERO was available for the Touch...
anywho... It looks like the signup website is down

I'm sorry, I feel I am certain when I say this device does not have the wi-fi hardware on it.

I can understand with GPS/aGPS, but what sense would it make to have a device that can do wi-fi and not turn it on? With GPS they can charge you for the service, such as TeleNAV, but they wouldn't be so stupid as to charge later down the road to turn wi-fi on.

Hm. i wonder if it's a physical switch that has to be flipped (like the Mogul) or something in software? I know that on the Mogul the ONLY way you could turn on Wifi was to flip the switch on the side. if it's a physical switch (or physical connection on the board) that must be used, we may never get this activated...except those with a Dremel.
