Re: No Wi-Fi???? said by Matt:Because WiFi sucks batteries? And if you have a BB with Verizon you already have an unlimited EVDO account? OK, but what do you do when you are in a poor coverage area? In LA, because of the terrain you can't count on cell coverage being great wheverver you go, no matter what provider you're on. If wifi is a battery drain you can always turn it off.

Good example there. I get 2 bars in my house, sometimes 3 and am in Edge territory. Wifi on the iPhone gets me around 3.3 mbps download, so for me, wifi is crucial.

Boston, MA | That's because the AT&T network sucks ass. With the Verizon EVDO network, there isn't really a need for WiFi, at least in the Northeast, where their network is superior to any other carrier. |

My neighbor works at the Verizon store in Millbury, Ma. Great reception there, not so hot here.

You can't make those kind of generalizations. Here in MD (close to the Bay), there is minimal signal to be found in most of the residential areas of Anne Arundel County, despite relatively flat terrain. The odds of you getting EVDO coverage indoors is extremely slim. I myself can't get more than 1 bar of 1xRTT indoors, leading to numerous dropped calls and frequent hour+ text message delays. |
