One of the great things about the iPhone is that can connect to wifi networks. This was generally unheard of on cells phones until recently. The iPhone is the leader in cell phones that can connect to wifi. The iPhone's ease of use with safari and other applications make the wifi ability really stand out.
One of the problems of currently not having an adequate data plan on my iPhone is that I have to use wifi more. Now using wifi isn't the problem, just finding free wifi seems to be the problem. In all Starbucks locations they have hotspots. One problem, they aren't free. They aren't even reasonably priced. I'm not going to pay 10 bucks to connect to a wifi network for an hour. I'm also not going to pay 25 bucks a month to get hotspot access all the time because I'm not usually at a hotspot.
One of the funniest things is finding peoples private wifi networks which are open. Come on, who doesn't encrypt their home wifi or business network? It's actually surprising that there are tons of open networks everywhere. I can't believe people actually leave them open but I'm not complaining. At my work, I can get free wifi in a few of the corners. I have to be close to the window but at least I can connect and use the internet. I usually only have 1 wifi bar but it still works. There is about 1 out of 10 wifi networks that are open. I'm sure if you just walk down the street you will find them everywhere. Take advantage of it!
