Wi-Fi enhanced connectivity

Wi-Fi Enhanced Connectivity offers a seamless transition between connections when you switch from the Verizon network to a Wi-Fi network.
When you launch an Internet-capable app like the browser, your smartphone scans for available Wi-Fi networks even when Wi-Fi is turned off, and prompts you to connect to an available Wi-Fi network. If you have a usage-based data plan, you can save on your subscribed monthly data allowance by using a Wi-Fi connection rather than the Verizon network.

Browse and download thousands of the coolest apps on the planet from Android Market™.
Download new apps with “Browse & install apps” on page 12. An optional microSD memory card can be installed in your smartphone—you can load it up with photos, videos, and music from your computer (see “Memory ca rd” on page 46).

If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.
Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory,
