On a similar note, some Sprint users are now rocking the Pre Plus main board through a similar, albeit more difficult, main board swap and software tricks.]]>Jul 26th 2010 3:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/

I only wish manufacturers would care for their loyal customers enough to offer a small upgrade fee to add WiFi as an option. Nowadays everyone is looking for the next phone so they can jump the boat, whatever happened to rewards for the loyal ones. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/
The TP2 is released comparable to the VZW TP2 but is priced at $350 everyone screams bloody murder..

The Evo is released comparable to the Droid X but with an added $10 fee per month which is still alot cheaper than the Droid X is per month and people scream..

And the Palm Pixi is the same phone minus wifi, and most people on a budget phone won't even use wifi and people still scream..

Option number 4 is just say F it and raise the monthly rates to AT&T and VZW levels.. Who the hell would even use wifi on that tiny screen..]]>Jul 26th 2010 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/Jul 26th 2010 3:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/
Wasn't the Pixi marketed towards elderly woman?

Does WiFi matter much to them?]]>Jul 26th 2010 3:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/the pixi does not require an everything data plan, as in since it does not have wifi, it is not a smartphone. It was designed to be a centro replacement so people could stay on their same plans. As in a bad ass feature phone, but without calling it that or any kind of marketing what so ever. It's a shame too, it's a freaking great phone. Possibly the best keyboard of 09.]]>Jul 26th 2010 11:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/
Yes the pixi does require an everything plan.

If you are talking about smartphones with wifi, there were plenty that had them before even the iPhone or blackberry did. ]]>Jul 26th 2010 4:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/
Haha...I bought an HTC touch a few months before the iPhone was even released and it had wifi, a touchscreen, and an OS that was arguably much more powerful and versatile than any new one (although admittedly slow and visually archaic).]]>Jul 26th 2010 5:56PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/
No.

The BlackBerry 7270 released february of 2005, had a wifi radio.


The fact you have access to the internet, essentially the most vast and easiest to navigate compendium of knowledge in human existence, and didn't bother to check this yourself is... well, kinda sad.

At the very least, you could've have simply querried google with "first blackberry wifi" and stumbled upon an answer within 5 minutes.]]>Jul 26th 2010 10:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/THAT was one heck of a job.

This seems more like my old Blackberry Pearl - disassembling and reassembling that was cake.

I hope they mention to take ESD precautions - at least drain/ground yourself frequently.]]>Jul 26th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/Jul 26th 2010 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/Jul 26th 2010 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/Jul 26th 2010 6:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/26/hack-brings-wifi-to-sprint-palm-pixi-courtesy-of-verizon-pixi-pl/Jul 26th 2010 8:51PM
