Actually... There is a rumor that Blackberry Storm has a WiFi Radio but has been disabled on a special request by the network carriers.

Sooner or later someone will find a way to activate the hidden disabled wifi radio and then Storm will create a true storm.

I won't be surprised if the hardware is in there but I can't quite see why the networks would want WiFi off. Most operators already provide unlimited plans for the BB's so there no real 'revenue protection' needed.
