You know, I don't think it can be done.

so, I have a newbie question. If I turn off data and try to use the wi-fi will it work without trying to use 3g data?

redevil,

yes, once your Data is turned off, Blackberry Internet Service and/or Blackberry Enterprise Server (under Manage Connections>Services Status) will show the connection as WiFi instead of Mobile Network. Voice/SMS will still remain on Mobile Network. Hope this clarifies it.
