WiFi Internet for Curve 8330?

[gravydavey79]

Hi there, I was wondering if anyone can tell me if I can go on WiFi at home (or lin places that offer free WiFi like, coffeshops, Pubs etc) with my Curve 8330. I did it before on my old B;ackberry Tour.....If so can anyone tell me how I do it? Where I go....options etc? Thanks!!

Neither the 8330 nor the 9630 have Wi-Fi. Those devices lack the hardware (Wi-Fi radios), so you cannot use Wi-Fi. You need to use the mobile network.

Yes. The 9000 has a Wi-Fi radio. I used a 9000 prior to November 2010.

You can also use the CrackBerry App Store (Mobihand)

I like it better than AppWorld, since I've had better success when I've changed devices and upgraded my OS. I have not lost any paid apps if I bought them from Mobihand.

Mobihand also gets updates to several apps I use the most more frequently than AppWorld.
