Default 8130 internet virtually useless?

Please Login to Remove!

I have the 8130 on verizon (no wifi, dammit). The internet is virtually useless regardless of signal strength. Im lucky to just be able to check the weather withn 5 mins., thats if it can connect at all. but other days, its works flawlessly (but its a rarity). why oh why couldnt it have wifi capabilities!? anybody else have this problem with theirs? any solutions?

It couldn't have WiFi because it as not designed to.

You bought the wrong BB. Get the 8120 if you want a Pearl with WiFi.

Otherwise, on Verizon, you should have the best speed mobile internet available.

For me at least I like the wap sites, I have no real reason to look at full web pages on the screen of any mobile device, that's why they make computers. The wap site's load very fast and have just the right info.
