I plan to purchase an 8320 today. I have read every post here, and I am excited to do so. If possible, I would like to see if someone to clarify the following, as this is a pretty important/big purchase.
What do I need to get at the time of purchase if I want the following:
Internet Browsing on Wi-Fi (personal wireless router, starbucks wireless, anywhere)
MSN/AIM messaging without being charged per message (not required, but would be a nice benefit if free)
Essentially... What do you reccomend I purchase/do to save me the most money? I don't mind getting the uber-basic data package for Hotmail being POPed to me (I'd love that feature). Free calls that don't count against my minutes would be ideal, especially without the H@H (That possible?). I'll be sure to get the Feature Enabler, as well.
I understand that I should be able to browse the internet without getting that specific data plan by changing to "Wi-Fi Browser" in the settings, correct?
Ideally, I want to spend the least, while getting the most! In essence, what would you do if you were going out to buy one today? I greatly appreciate all help on this.
Thanks much!

Reason: added more
Can someone please confirm if BBweather works via WiFi or not? I get a weird error when trying to login and use the application over WiFi. I have an e-mail plan through T-Mobile.
Thanks.
Definitely no BB Weather over standalone wifi. It's possible that the OP still had the apn settings for TMobile entered when he did the test for BBWeather. BBWeather ONLY works over TCP so there is no way to make it work over standalone wifi.
Quick Question: I currently have a TMo E-Mail Data Plan ($9.99 to get my rebates). When the rebates are sent back, I'm planning to cancel the data plan. I've still got UMA and the 8320 WiFi Curve.
What will I lose if I cancel the data plan? All I really want is to log into Wifi networks for UMA and I'll sometimes browse the web on my phone at home (over WiFi).
