Got this from Crackberry....
I do believe that the storm is build on the Qualcomm MSM7201 chipset. If that chipset is correct, it does list Wi-Fi as a capability. Can someone say, hack?

because it does have wi-fi but I think it's being disabled by verizon. The Vodaphone version does have wi-fi.
some more videos here.

Dude, I thought I was researching the Storm hardcore!! But you are going to a release party!! Nice!
My wife has been on my case about researching about the Storm. Glad to see some one else is doing the same.
Been on the crackberry site non-stop. I am up for my upgrade discount so just waiting for the Storm to be released

I hope it isn't pushed back any further. But at the same time, I agree with sanjbaby. I'm just getting too damn impatient.
As for the invite, you had to send a text message and hope that you were chosen. Now, you have to be one of the first 800 people in line and show the the txt message to get in, so we'll see. I'm gonna get there around 5pm or so

Just got home from the event...what a fuckin night. Just want to let you know that I was able to get into the after party and met Dave Grohl. Also, I was standing next to Kyle from Tenacious D during the Foo Fighters in the pit and met him. Both great guys.
Anyways, my impressions of the Storm are that it's a fantastic device, but it definitely needs some work. Plenty of lag, and at times, it did not work at all. Again, these are all beta versions which apparently they have had for several weeks. Regardless, the device feels great in the hand, the click-screen feels great, and the screen is absolutely beautiful. I honestly can not wait until the device is ready for launch and hopefully bug-free. Damn what a night. On top of that, I was the last person w/ my bro to close down Pink's. How often does that happen? Never!
