Blackberry offers WiFi to Russia

It's no secret that the Blackberry phones sold officially in Russia, do not have WiFi. This was done for the sake of security services who want to control all the correspondence with the device and it took off this type of data transmission. It got to the ridiculous - bringing your phone with WiFi bought in Europe or the U.S. to connect to the MTS or Beeline, you get the Russian language, the services of one of the operators, but at the same time you turned off WiFi. In RIM promised to rectify the situation this fall and have kept my promise. In Russia, all the new Blackberry will be delivered with the included WiFi, but you can use it only to browse the Web. Mail and other applications will work only via the built EDGE/3G-soedinenie what has been done at the request of the same intelligence. The owners of Russian Blackberry phones should not be worried that they will go unnoticed, their correspondence Russian security services increased interest. At the moment, the old model of Blackberry, which were purchased in Russia do not yet support WiFi. But he will appear, along with software updates, you will need to download it to your computer. After trying to find a Torch2 update, I learned that it is already available on the web about the day Beeline (for corporate clients, as it turned out it was made ​​available earlier). In addition Torch2, update is also available for the model 9700. In my view, the modern smartphone without WiFi support is an anachronism. The fact that in RIM opened WiFi for Web browsing is better than nothing. But I would like for quite a lot of money to get a full-featured devices, instead of their truncated versions. But I am afraid that the secret services do not allow RIM. It is interesting to watch us and read our correspondence.
