You NO LONGER need a data plan with the 8320 to get email or use BBMessenger as long as you are connected to W-Fi.... He did say that they are currently debating as to if BBMessenger will count as a text message or be free as long as you are connected to Wi-Fi...
Bottom line is that ALL 8320's can get email and use BBMessenger without a data plan as long as you are connected to Wi-Fi...
I thought it odd that as soon as I would walk in the door and connected to Wi-Fi I'd get all the days emails... Then I got a BBMessenger message and decided to call and have them investigate...
The RIM guy said I was the 1st to discover this.... :woot:

Hi LunkHead,
I recently bought a 8320 for the reason that it's Wifi hence I hope NOT to subscribe to my local's Blackberry data plan, so i can still browse website without having to pay for BB's data plan.
I've been trying to get the wifi to work for days on end, and I think if you could kindly help me with settings, I would be really really greatfull.
By the way, I'm a residence of Singapore, and recently, we're having a island wide free wifi network. Hence my reluctance to sign up with a plan.
Help!
