| I'm even more interested to know why there seems to be no WiFi in HTC Touch Dual? It seems like there was a last-minute decision to leave it out - why? |

| The bigger P6500 would benefit by having VGA screen. Wonder why it is only QVGA. And yes, all phones these days should have WiFi, GPS built-in. Should be considered as standard features. |

| HTC Touch Dual has WiFi! Regarding other features: well VGA and built-in GPS are not something that can be in all devices - I think that HTC wants to maximize sales and minimize the cost of production, so that may be the reason why some features are missing in some units - because adding them would not increase sales significantly enough to justify increased costs of production. |

Any source? It's not mentioned anywhere on HTC's site (besides some older press material which has been updated now so that WiFi is no longer mentioned). I know the models on display at the event had WiFi, but I'm quite certain the production models will not have it.
This review says it hasn't got WiFi: http://www.smape.com/en/reviews/htc/HTC_Touch_Dual-rev.html
You should make a swearing headline about the lack of WiFi - this time it would actually be justified! |

Interesting! However please notice that sometimes it is up to mobile operators to activate WiFi or not. Example: HTC Artemis that is sold by T-Mobile has no WiFi but the same phone sold elsewhere has WiFi. |
