Has anyone figured out a way to enable WiFi on this phone? Is that even possible?

There is no wifi. Cingular took it out. 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.

I agree with Smeg, Cingular would be insane to pay for adding Wi-Fi modules to their phones, if they weren't going to enable them.

Does anyone know for sure if they left the WiFi chip out? 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.

All Smartphones have the wifi registry entry. I am 99.9% sure they left the chip out, even without opening it and looking to be sure.

The chip is not there. You can go to the FCC site and see for yourself.

So -- can you buy a chip and put it in yourself??

File Manager's "associate" feature shows .exe files on your device. 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!
