I work in a hospital where i get no service. Normally by the end of a 12hr shift my bold is either dead or crying in pain from low battery. I turned off the mobile network connection and just using BBM on wifi and playing on the phone i went through 12 and a half hrs at work only using 15% of my battery! I will be turning off my network connection often now. Screw txting! BBM is where it is at!!! I wont ever buy another BBerry without wifi.

Good post! There are some (especially verizonites) that claim they don't need wifi. This post is a fine example why wifi is a necessity.
Very true in everything you say but if your network provider uses UMA and you bought an 8900 you would have all that plus calls text & mms whilst still only using wifi.
I love my bold but keep an 8900 in the workbag just in case the local transmitter go's down which it does frequantly.

thats the only thing i miss about my 8320 curve. my best friends house is a deathtrap for tmobile reception. i usually hook it up to UMA, but my bold doesn't support it.

I also had a 8320 before I got my Bold last year and UMA is pricless. If AT&T offered UMA especially on the Bold it would bring it to another level.
