any pda/smartphone that has wifi will connect to a wireless network, yes. It shouldn't count towards data download since you're not using your providers network to actually get the data.

so im looking for a new phone.

what i am looking for but kinda of unsure is if there is a phone out there that will connect to a wireless network? if there is does this use data/minutes?

what is the best phone to use for posting on boards and just general websearches? GPS/driving directions/location lookups?

does anyone know if verizon will be getting the iphone?

thanks in advance!!
