I'd agree with most Verizon users here...if you have a fast regular network data stream, who needs WiFi? I've heard the horror stories from my friends with their iPhones and dropping 3G...its like anything else - you can have the coolest hardware in the world, but if you got a bad connection, you're toast.

In SoCal, with the widespread availability of Verizon's network, there is little (if any) need for WiFi. Were I to live in a different part of the country, perhaps I would feel differently, but so far I've only heard complaints about the lack of WiFi from non-Verizon consumers. Verizon peeps seem to think being able to actually access your 3G network is better than WiFi.
