wi-fi
does anyone know when this is going to launch? also with the wi-fi capabilities does anyone know if there going to disable that function because right now i have an unlocked nokia n80 with wi-fi and cingular was origianlly supposed to come out with this but did not because of wifi.

The N-80 was not kept from being released on Cingular because of wifi - it wasn't released because it didn't have UMTS/HSDPA in the 850 band, which is a requirement for all Cingular 3G phones - certain areas of the 3G network are 850 band only or 1900 band only, so a phone that didn't have both wouldn't be acceptable for launch.
Cingular doesn't disable wifi on phones, nor do they decline to carry phones because they have wifi.
The phone should be launching sometime in the month of November.

WiFi cannabalizes their PAY data services, do not be naive enough to believe it's not a factor.
Nokia E61 as the perfect example.

The e62 was launched as a way to provide a phone with PDA capabilities with low budgets--noticed that it also used a mini USB port rather than the Nokia proprietary one or the 262k color screen on the e62 and the 16.7million color screen on the e61? Although I do not see why they didn't launch both to appeal to people like us (e61)--phonescoop's constituency-- and others (e62). It's akin to the l7 vs. l6 but they did what they did.
