What's the point of having a BB if you don't have the data plan to go with it?

If I didn't know better, I'd have said that was a dc/dc answer.

whitearrow . . . are you saying that you're able to get AOL email on your BB except that you have a tedious process of accessing it? . . . is that via a wi-fi connection? If so, make AOL Mail your browser's homepage, which will bring up the Login page for AOL Webmail. . .
Otherwise, Corey certainly has given you the answer.

crisambo,that is exactly what i am saying.i can get to aol.com by getting on the browser and typing in aol.com but i was just wondering if there was a shortcut or something that i could do to just get to aol mail with 1 click.but what you have suggested sounds like a pretty good concellation prize if i can't make a aol icon on my bb.could you please tell me the steps involved to make aol my home page?i'm sorry no wifi just regular edge.
thanks,

To set Home Page:
in Browser mode, click on Menu -> Options - Browser Configuration -> scroll down to Home Page Address and change url to Http://mail.aol.com -> save

I thought you needed a Blackberry data plan to use the built-in browser?

with Wi-fi connection, you do not need BB data plan to browse with built-in browser . . . you just need to tweak the settings, especially the browser emulation (do not use Blackberry)
