Not that I have any inside info, but I bet the Treo 650 has BT but not WiFi.
For some reason Palm is ignoring the WiFi market. I can also see where the
Telcos wouldn't necessarily want WiFi in a smartphone. It would take some of
their wireless internet business away. Not that I agree, but I can see their
twisted logic.
