The BlackBerry Storm’s lack of Wi-Fi support is arguably its most disappointing feature. But all that will change if rumours of a Wi-Fi capable model prove true.

And yes, you're right, whoever reminds me of my previous praise singing of the reliability of my Bold/ company's Bolds! Feel free to feel smug!
Not as bad as the appalling Storm, but the inclusion of a spontaneous full reboot feature mid call is a shocking thing to feel is acceptable. As RIM clearly do with their persistent deaf ears attitude to IT managers and procurement managers.
I almost got a Storm, hadn't it been for France's SFR, who suck like no other provider in any of the various countries I have lived in ...

Never needed it sofar .... but the storm is one hell of a device, I hate da click feature when you use it, though ... no way to turn that off?

Lets hope they get rid of the click screen, can't stand that crap. A touch screen with vibration feedback would be better.
