Blackberry owners

Look at your clock options. Mine has both already built in.

 

I got a Blackberry Bold yesterday -- my first smart phone. When I use the wireless setting, does that mean I'm not using anything from the data plan? Also, I take it that whenever you have an application open, that means you are using the data?

 

You're only using data when there is something transmitting. There will be arrows in the upper right corner of your screen. Just having an app open won't do that. Also, if you're using WiFi, no, you're not using your service data plan, you're using the WiFi connection.

 

@bydesign77 Thanks. I was a little confused because I had Pandora on earlier and it told me that if I was going to use it much, I should get a bigger data plan.

 

pandora can be very data intensive... it's receiving information all the time while something is playing. that's why i like slacker... you can cache station to play without using the service... and if you refresh while on wifi, you won't use any data ...

 

You can also buy a 4 GB phone memory card for about $15 at Staples. I got one the other day instead of an iPod - it holds about 550 songs, and I use it in my car with a cassette tape to headphone jack converter.

 

Stupid work. Our plan blows so pretty much anything you can download is off limits to me.
