[maemo-users] [maemo-users] Nokia 770 US Version, 802.11b only?!

[From: John B. Holmblad]

Reggie,

in my opinion it would be a big mistake on Nokia's part to support only 
802.11b and not 802.11g as well. Also the 770 would have to support, at 
a minimum,  Wireless Protected Access (WPA) if not WPA2/802.11i  in 
order for the 770 to be viable in the market given the well known 
exploits against the older Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security standard.

Furthermore, it is my understanding that, in order to carry the WIFI 
alliance

certfication, the 770 would have to support WPA as a minimum.

Perhaps someone on this list from Nokia could comment on these points.
