HTC Tornado - Cingular 2100/2125 not to include WiFi in US?

By Ryan Block


We're all still tapping our feet over here waiting for Cingular's house brand launch of
HTC's Wizard and Tornado handsets, but we got word today the unit's WiFi capabilities are distinctly missing from the filing documentation for their
Tornado that appeared on the FCC site. Does that mean that Cingular's release of the 2100 / 2125 won't have WiFi? No, not necessarily — this could be for a specifically WiFi-free version of the handset — but it's certainly not very encouraging if you ask us.

Update: We didn't realize the 2100 was as anticipated as it apparently is, but after a flurry of write-ins one stalward reader, Uni, sourced
this doc [PDF] from the FCC site. Uni seems to have unearthed an alternate filing for the NM8TND (Tornado) that includes WiFi spectrum — 2.412GHz to 2.462GHz — and that sweet, sweet logo we crave. Cingular, end the mystery already, would ya?
