Can anyone confirm this? I am in Peru right now and use Wifi in the hotel to save on roaming charges. When I select on AppWorld, I get the following:
"You do not have sufficient wireless coverage or your connection to the wireless network is turned off."
I can not get it to work with wifi right now either. I get the same error
Ok glad it is not just me. I read on other places and soem people get it to work but none details how.
I don't think app world is designed to work over wi-fi most RIM apps usually don't work just over wi-fi.
You need to have network connection.
Not cool. I mean I want to download more apps so why the preference for network versus WiFi?
Yes its true. Rim knows about this but they won't fix it.
WTF? That is just a poor user experience
not really. Imagine if accessible to wifi, i believe that non-blackberry subscribers will be able to use which i think will erode the exclusivity by a part
I've used it on os6 w/ wifi only I think. I'll have to check when I'm back in wifi range tonight.

it worked on my curve for a while (a month or two) then it died off
Yeah this is not an "issue" but more of an "on purpose" by RIM.
....Doesn't make me any happier though. :S
yeah this sucks, i use my blackberry on the work trough wifi only cuz i work over seas in a Boat.. and when an app its release i cant download it until i get signal back
For App World to work over the wifi you have to be connected to the phone network and then as long as your BIS/BES is running through the wifi connection it should work.
Not sure if you incur roaming costs even if you don't make or receive calls while oraming
it sucks it was before.. why is not anymore..
i used before i work in a ship and i use my blackberry only trough wifi.. when im out there. .
