Verizon BlackBerry Phone with WiFi

Verizon Wireless has an annoying policy towards Wi-Fi on its smartphones. The carrier has long-held resistance to the extra wireless option on the smartphones on its line-up. This has created a demand for a Verizon BlackBerry phone with WiFi.

Fortunately, the carrier has decided to make a drastic change in its view towards WiFi on its BlackBerry smartphones. Reports indicate that Wi-Fi will be available on all Verizon BlackBerry handsets launched after the BlackBerry Tour. Yes, that's right. We will finally see a Verizon BlackBerry phone with WiFi.

if rumors are to be believed, then the first Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry for Verizon Wireless has already surfaced. Reports indicate that the BlackBerry 8530 will be the first RIM smartphone on the Verizon Wireless lineup to carry WiFi.

Here are the specs for this rumored Verizon BlackBerry phone with WiFi:

• 320×240 resolution screen
• 1xRTT, EV-DO
• QWERTY keyboard
• 2 megapixel camera
• OS 5.0
• Bluetooth
• Wi-Fi b,g

Now, this info has not been confirmed so I can't fully be confident that the carrier will allow the BlackBerry 8530 to tote WiFi. Nonetheless, it will be exciting to finally have the device that many users have been demanding to get.
