I'm not 100% certain they took the physical wifi chip out of the phone, but they definitely took it out of hte software. I'd be willing to bet a 2125 that they took the chip out as well though. -------------------- Phone: Sprint Touch Pro

There is a setting in the registry for WiFi if you look hard enough. I was going to try to enable it, but was afraid to screw things up. Then again, who knows if the registry isnt built for other variants of the phone and they just left the entry in and disabled it... And no, it isnt insane. Considering Cingular and Verizon as well as others have kept thier phones original and disabled items in them on purpose before.

I am 99.9% sure they left the chip out, even without opening it and looking to be sure. -------------------- Phone: Sprint Touch Pro

You can go to the FCC site and see for yourself. -------------------- Support the Windows Mobile Community! Become a Subscriber

Most we recognize as being "programs", but not all (they are simply part of the phone's OS functioning i.e. "home.exe" ). I don't know what wifion.exe is doing on your phone unless it's just built into the OS since there's no hardware for it to support. But, interesting to note, my phone does have wifi built in and wifion.exe is NOT on my "associate" list...however, wifioff.exe is! -------------------- Devices: T-Mobile MDA (Cingular SIM), i-mate SP5m (sitting in a drawer at the moment while I attempt to migrate to PPC permanently), Cingular 3125 (unlocked and in use on T-Mobile), Motorola MPx220 (retired), Motorola MPx200 (retired) Accessories: Plantronics Explorer 330 & 2G Patriot Micro-SD (use w/MDA), Kingston 2G mini-SD used in SP5m, Plantronics Discovery 640 & 2G San Disk micro-SD (use w/3125), Jabra A210 BT adapter + Motorola HS805 (retired)
