Blackberrys are different. First you need a blackberry data plan to use any blackberry/RIM branded data apps. Some carriers require the blackberry data plan to get the service books required to use wifi data. EDIT: Scratch that last sentence. It seems some people are able to use wifi for non-blackberry apps without a blackberry data plan and some cannot. I don't know why.

In your case, it sounds like you turned off data service in options. When that is in effect you will not have data service at all, not even wifi.

You need to see blackberryfaq.com and spend some time reading.
