Now BlackBerry users can finally surf the Web using WiFi with the new BlackBerry 8820. RIM has been stubborn about adding WiFi on BlackBerrys all these years. Did iPhone’s success finally pushed RIM to embrace the non-cellular connectivity?

Besides WiFi, which iPhone has, the BlackBerry 8820 laso boasts an integrated GPS. RIM calls it “an extraordinary business phone for people who really care about mobile communications and productivity.” It’s a true business phone, however, with added WEP, WPA and WPA2 as security protocols for business users on WiFi. These acronyms enable you internet connection to be secure from wireless eves droppers. It will also include VPN (Virtual Private Network) via IPSec-based software. UMA is also an important feature of the phone’s WiFi capabilities enabling users to switch between cellular and WiFi networks.

To me it looks like the dream phone of all serious business users.
