What decade are you living in? I'd say the number of contacts you have (if you're under 60, nevermind 50) who have a cell phone and don't have an email address are very f***ing slim to likely none.

I get wicked signal in my basement with my W580i. I also seem to get decent EDGE in my basement with my BB Bold. 3G ain't happening unless I'm fairly close to a window, though.

This is just another blatant example of crass marketing telling you what you "need", vs. what you really need. If you "need" a cell signal and you're in an apartment, go stand near a f***ing window! Was that hard? Sheesh!

I'm living in the decade after the one your stuck in.

What don't you get, if you don't need it, then don't worry about it. No point in complaining about something that is useless to you, no ones putting a gun next to your head telling you to use it, chances are, someone else could really use this service. not everyone uses the wifi on their phone to e-mail, most people use a cellphoen to umm you guessed it, make calls. I simply explained its purpose in greater clarity so everyone can understand what its uses are, and some peopel actually find it an advantage. where as a regular cellphone with Wifi capabilities in a vancouver hotel, with no gsm or wcdma signal ,is onyl good for e-mailing, i can't e-mail my kitchen phone back home in toronto, so the uma phone is actually the winner here in that senario, dont stress bro, its not a competition.
