Launching a Web Browser on BlackBerry

The simplest way to launch a web browser from within a blackberry app is:

Browser.getDefaultSession().displayPage(URL);

Is there any reason I would need to use Browser.getSession(UID) instead of Browser.getDefaultSession()? What does that provide for the average use of opening a web browser that the default session does not, if all I'm worried about is showing the URL provided?

getDefaultSession() returns the session for the default browser, getSession(UID) gets the session for the connection specified by the UID which might be: BES, BIS_B, WAP, etc.

The following links provide a great deal of information on network trasports and browser sessions:
