Default How to select Hotspot browser only?

I had to upgrade to OS 6 on my BB 9700. I want to use my browser on WiFi Hotspots only, and not use the network's 3G service. Under OS 5 I could select Hotspot Browser only under Browser Options. I can't find this option under OS6.

If make Data Services [off] under Mobile Network Options, then the entire data services including BIS is off.
Can someone please help?

Downgrade back to OS 5, then you'll have that functionality back to use again.

From what I've noticed,Wifi is used mostly as long as your in an hotspot zone.. I have wifi @ home and work and it's always connected instead of using slow ol' 3G!!
