I do however have wireless in my home. also does the phone make a noise when you recieve an email? as I wont have mobile internet will the email system still work when I am in the wireless area and will it connect automatically?

No, you will not be able to get true BlackBerry push email on your phone without a data plan. The phone will alert you when you receive a message.

For more info about using the phone without a data plan, see here... What do I need a Data Plan for? - BlackBerryFAQ
