Although it's slightly less interesting news considering we know we'll learn more at BlackBerry Mobile's Mercury launch event on February 25 , for those of you out there who like to check on where things are in the line of progress, at least one variation of the BlackBerry Mercury (BBB100-2) has now passed through the Wi-Fi Alliance for Wi-Fi certification.

As one would guess, there's not much here that wasn't already known about the Mercury unlike when the DTEK50 and DTEK60 appeared and confirmed the go-to-market names for the devices but, hey it's progress and it means we're one step closer to being able to pick up a Mercury to call our own. FCC should be next.
