Default why apps work only with internet data plan???? - 10-28-2009, 02:12 PM
i have had htc windows phone n apple iphone, n apps in those phones used to work n get updated with "WIFI internet", now lately i bought a BB curve 8520 n the apps which i downloaded doesnt work on "WIFI internet"

No. Alot of apps need a Blackberry data plan to work.
This is because its a blackberry and is not like a HTC or iphone.

You need a BB data plan, plain and simple. You can use a generic plan or WiFi, but many things will not work

Two links from our FAQ might shed a bit of light on the subject:

How to use BlackBerry on Generic Data Plan - BlackBerryFAQ
