Excellent, I'm looking forward to getting this phone. I figure if I don't like it I can switch to a blackberry curve but hoping I do. I have never had a cool phone just this old razr I have had for the last 4years.

Well that is part of what confuses me. On the samsung page it says in order to use the wifi I have to have a data plan. Is this a feature that only ATT can turn on in the software or something? I'm confused

I am new to all this cellphone stuff. I work on networks and have good knowledge of computers wan access etc. I just ordered a samsung jack(to replace my razr I have had for 4 years now) and from what I have read it has a web browser and email capabilities. How can I access these. I looked at ATT and it has a data plan but it doesn't mention actual web surfing capabilities. I want to know is there a way I can get actual web access, my email access etc. on my phone. I don't necessarily want to go through ATT to use it since I already pay for internet access for my network at home but would like to access my email and surf if possible.
