There's probably not even any room in the damn thing for a wi-fi module. It'd also add to the overall handset cost.
We blame Verizon because they said no to WiFi. They are a big carrier for RIM and you don't think they won't listen to what they say? Thought so. And the chip that the 9630 and Storm are running both have the capabilities to put WiFi in it. Verizon didn't want it on either.
