Using my blackberry without a data bolt on just wifi. Please help

I got a Blackberry curve 8500 for christmas and want to use it just wi-fi.  I don't need a data bolt on on the package.  Can this be done??  I have had conflicting information and want to know if anyone else has had this problem.  Please please please help.  My contract is with O2.  Any help at all would be appreciated.

Yes, you can use it for Phone calls, SMS texting and using the WiFi hotspot browser (Options > Advanced > Browser = set to Hotspot and save). Now you can surf the web using that browser. You can use limited application such as (maybe) Pandora radio and those that work on WiFi only.
You will not have RIM push email functions, the BlackBerry browser, and any apps which make use of the BlackBerry data like Facebook for BlackBerry, AppWorld, Maps, Messenger, etc.
Limited yes, and possible yes. Everything, nope.
