I plan on getting an unlocked BB Curve 8900, cause i dont want to be tied down to a contract with tmobile. I dont want to pay for a data plan. I was wondering if without the plan can i still use the phones built in wifi to use the internet and apps?

Yes you can, but not all apps will work without a data plan. It will be good for downloads of movies/podcasts/music, streaming radio and video, internet email, etc.

yeas you can...see sonni kuba's post on apps that work with wifi only

The apps i dont mind. However its the wifi that concerns me. A friends BB connects with the wifi but he cant use the internet because it says you need a data plan. Would this happen?
