Verizon has it in some markets, but not others. It just depends on what sort of upgrading the carrier has done in the market--but in Indianapolis, for instance, I can plug my Treo into my laptop and use the Treo as a modem and I don't notice much difference in connection speed than I would with, say, a cable modem.

In cities that haven't been upgraded, though, I've noticed that the Internet is quite slow.

My phone, which has been on the market for a year, has integrated wi-fi. It's far from the only one available.

How seamless do you want it to be? You walk in it configures itself, connects, and bam, you're talking?

Will you settle for configuring for different Wi-Fi networks one time as you come into contact with them?
