For some reason RIM has decided not to include WiFi support in its recently launched BlackBerry Tour. And now we hear that RIM is doing everything in its power to add WiFi connectivity to the phone. Since the phone is getting a new feature, the Tour will be known as the Essex. So in case you’re feeling sorry for yourself for purchasing a WiFi-less Tour, then the Essex could be a nice replacement. There’s no word when the Essex will be available and what carrier will launch it. Should we simply assume it’s going to be a phone heading to Sprint since this carrier asked for WiFi on all its phones a short while ago?
