Smartphones without the data plans
Jul. 23rd, 2009 10:43 pmI've talked to a few people who use or want to use an iPhone but don't want to use the data plan. It's apparently possible to just use local WiFi for service like an iTouch. That's fantastic.
I don't want an iPhone. I like my Verizon service and always have. People may complain but it's been very reliable for me over the years.
What I *am* interested in is using a Blackberry over WiFi instead of a data plan. I don't need to be connected 24/7 but it would be more convenient than a Laptop and I know I can get one through work, but they may be unwilling to cover the data plan (which is okay if I can use WiFi). Anyone know if this sort of thing works?
