Well it allows you to take advantage of higher browsing speeds if your device isn't 3G capable, allows you to make calls if you have a uma compatible phone, or even network based streaming services and such.Author:

Wifi equals life. When i go to my friends house, we're usually in his basement, and i get no service down there. But when i connect to his wifi i can text, browse, and call people.Author:

WIFI allows you to use your home internet to browse and it does not take away from your DATA package, well at least not from places in Canada i am not sure any other country, but here in canada good ol wireless providers can't track your WIFI.
You still need a data plan to have WIFI work.
Also you cna use WIFI to use UMA service = Voip calling on UMA phones..... the BOLD is not a UMA designed phone although on certain carriers it is ... so in Canada it is not.
Now that being said UMA phones are like the 8900 and so forth ... i suggest you check into that for your phone.
So benefits of WIFI:
= No taking from your data plan in most places (check your provider to confirm)
= Faster browsing experience as oppsed to EDGE or even at times 3G.
= Faster downloading depends on your internet speed you pay for, i get up to 700kb/s on my BBold on my 15mb home internet service WIFI.
