i have a bold, but if i turn off the mobile network and activate wi-fi
i can still receive updates from facebook.

Seems to work fine for me, using FB 1.6 on my 8900 with OS 4.6.1.250 installed.

Yep. I Use FB at home on wifi.

It works perfectly on mine, but AFAIK you will still need BIS to access the app. Since it's a RIM app, it's tied somehow to them.

[eLogikal]

Yeah, plus you can talk at the same time and still get updates while on 8900 on wifi

I use wifi just fine.

[insane79]

Well i got the bb 8900, i got the email unlimited plan with no browsing, the FB app doesnt work through wifi, i guess i have to go for a full data(browsing) plan for the fb app to work on wifi?? This SUXX..

Correct, to get data on the RIM applications like Facebook you must have more than a simple email only plan.

When wifi is enabled and your radio is enabled.. does WIFI take precedence?

Yes.

doesnt work for me :S. Well it works, but i have to have a data plan (it will still use wifi, but it needs a data plan)

[JSanders]

Correct. I think we've all come together on that conclusion.

Several months ago.
