Might sound like an unlikely request but is it possible to configure either the playbook or BB phone to prevent the playbook getting internet access via the bridge, i.e. I ONLY want playbook internet wia wireless LAN NEVER via the phone so as I don't run up mobile data charges? I've looked but can't find a way to do this other than stopping the bridge before browsing.
Since the PB doesn't always restore a saved WiFi connection, I've begun surfing assuming I was on WiFi but actually using the bridge. The speed drop is usually a tip-off.
The fastest and easiest way to ensure you won't use phone data is to turn off bluetooth on your PB whenever you are actively using data. It takes only two taps. This is simpler than cycling the bridge setting on your phone.
Same sentiment here. That new feature that's so hot killed the use of Bridge on my enterprise phone for fear of inadvertantly using unauthorized data. Thanks, RIM, for the professional tablet once again.
