Can I get that Blackberry with WiFi?

I have 4 more papers to mark this evening, but I’m almost done with the IS 6100 Paper 2 drafts.

Meanwhile, here’s an article from Engadget. There’s a new Blackberry model that offers WiFi connectivity on T-Mobile’s network: the Blackberry Curve 8320.

A similar model (the 8310) offers GPS capabilities instead of the WiFi feature. There’s only so much room inside the phone, so it’s one chipset or the other – not both.

It’s up to the carrier to offer the GPS, WiFi or both versions. So T-Mo went with WiFi.

Engadget also ran articles about a GPS service for iPhones last Wednesday. It’ll do until Apple adds real GPS hardware to the next iPhone.
