Is it true the instinct lacks wifi?

Has anyone here purchased it yet?

Didn't purchase it, but played withone for about two hours earlier in the
week. Seemed like a well designed phone for those that want a touch screen
(I'm not one of those folks).

I didn't have time to look but is it stripped of Bluetooth PAN? That would
really suck.

It looks like they kept wifi off the feature list b/c they're forcing users
onto unlimited data plans when getting the phone. Thus no need for wifi.

Though I can imagine there might be circumstances under which it would still
be nice to have wifi....namely when travelling outside coverage areas but
yet still have access to a wifi connection.
