Yes, it's worth asking. We all should be asking for more. These people should know that as long as we are communicated in a straight-forward way and things are priced reasonably, we don't mind paying for what we use. It's when you create an appearance that you're screwing us over that we get pissed off. Wi-Fi, bluetooth, anything that would potentially let customers go around their network seems to get messed up.

The two phones I'm looking at don't have Wi-Fi and you can't even add the Wi-Fi card to them. The thought is that Cingular doesn't want there to be Wi-Fi because they want you to use their network. Huh? It doesn't make any sense to the consumer but makes a lot of sense if you are working for Cingular. This stuff always pisses me off...maybe I should ask the sales people at Cingular why there isn't any Wi-Fi when I actually do get me next phone. It is worth asking, right?
