Also turn OFF Data Services under
Mobile Networks.
If you have a data plan or normal only service with the BB SOC (on your billing plan) then its by the MB billing which gets REAL expensive fast!

Wi-Fi TCP/IP Browser
Wi-Fi TCP/IP Transport
^ That's all you need for HotSpot Browsing (even OM5b2 or Bolt works). I'm doing this now.

Like dubdub stated it'll be annoying ... no emails, no IM (that I know of) and no BBM. But Calendar and other PIM will work sufficiently if sync'd over USB to Outlook/Notes.

Budgets suck don't they?!!
Arrgh another 2 more weeks to go and then I go data :D
