re: bluetooth& WiFI

I've heard that Sprint has heard a lot of complaints regarding the bluetooth crippling issue, and they issued a statement saying they will not cripple this device. Also they will provide a software patch for the Treo 650 to enable bt dialup. If true, then they deserve credit for reversing a truly stupid decision. Who wants to pay more than $600 for an intentionally crippled device? Not me. Now my question about the audiovox/blue angel/harrier is why no WiFi? That was another truly stupid decision. I really don't care what the justification is. I don't want to hear it! I really despise being told that I should settle for a stripped down version of anything. If that's what I ask for, fine but don't tell me I don't need it.
