ok...if you have more areas with coverage (edge) for your phone than wifi ...what are the benefits for the use of wifi?why turn on that feature? the only thing I can think of is if you have a laptop with no wifi and you use the phone for that...other then that- what are the pros (or cons) for having wifi?
It does not automagically pickup a wifi network... you have to scan for any and connect to them... I leave mine on all day and night... at work and at home I have a wifi network to connect to... so I leave mine on.
ok..so evrytime i am in a new area i have to scan....gotcha....if you are in a place that u had scanned for already in the past, will it pick it up?
as long as you have that network saved as a profile. whenever i walk into my house or my parents house, it automatically picks up the network and connects to it.

Yea UMA is great, but the OP is with AT&T and they do not offer it. In this case, UMA is not a factor ... unless the OP is interested in switching carriers but I did not get that from them as an option.
WIFI question: how do I "override" to use WiFi?
I am currently in the States and the roaming charges are outrageous. Where I am staying has WiFi, so how can I override?
Separate question: whenever I want to view a video like on Youtube, it asks if I want to WAP (whatever that is) but then I never get to see the video.
Help??
