I've searched the forum using "free wifi" and variants and so far haven't found the guidance I need -- thank you for your patience...
I recently bought/returned a blackberry wifi device when I found out that you can't just turn it on and surf the web using your home or cafe' wifi node. Rather you have to subscribe to a data plan and pay just to access your own home wifi node.
What about the Prophet? Can you just turn it on, configure it to your local wifi setting, and surf the web via wifi without a data plan with any provider?
Secondly (and please excuse my ignorance), does "push email" mean sending email from the unit, rather than, say, using a webmail page to send email?
...and related to this: can the Prophet just plain send email using a client installed within the Prophet, via any-old-wifi node?
Thanks for your kind understanding...!!
