Wifi vs 3g.

What major disadvantages do you have if you don't get a data plan and just use wifi when you can?
 
If you have no 'mobile data plan' the major disadvantage is that you can't access the web, email, receive and send images, files, and video, etc. – in short: data traffic – when you're not connected via WiFi.
 
Yep thats pretty much it. You wont have access to data all the time, only when you are within range of a hotspot. You wont be able to use google maps on the go, or google navigation.

However, wifi is generally much faster than 3g, and uses less battery.
