Default How to turn off data?

When I had my Aria, I could turn off the data connection but I cannot find the setting on the captivate.

Any ideas?

I would also love to know how to turn off the 3G data so I can be 100% positive that I'm not eating all of my monthly allotment when I think I'm on wifi

I use "APN on-off Widget" from the market. It's a simple 1x1 widget that allows you to enable and disable APN (data) connectivity with a single tap. It's color coded green/red for data on/off.

There are a few apps that can do this for you. Here is one of them: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.DataOnOff

Download "network" app from the market place. Start the app, press menu, and press disable data. Works great for me. Would prefer an edge only option.

when by a wifi connection, can you just connect to the wifi connection to disable data?
