I use wifi at home when I'm browsing a lot, like reading rss feeds or the wap version of BBF, because it is faster than EDGE. I turn off the mobile radio to save power. When I'm not using wifi, I turn it off for the same reason, to save power.

I'm not sure how you will see it on your model and OS, but look in options / mobile network / connection preference. Set wi-fi preferred, or mobile preferred, as you like.
