For me and my rogers bold. The only way is to turn mobile network off but leave data services on.

OK. I got this set up. Thanks. Another thing, how do you know if you're using wifi or the service plan? Is there any indicator on the menu bar or something?

Krivs, I just found out (thanks to aristile) that you have to keep data services turned on to use WiFi in the Browser. Make sure that every time you use Browser, you set it to Hotspot Browser...
