How automatic is it if I have set up a couple of WLAN networks and 3G as a last choise. I've heard that the new WLAN Wizard checks if it can make connection to internet when searching for open WLANs. Does this work properly?=)juha
I have a local network defined as priority 1 but still find that web browsing uses the provider network rather than my LAN ?
Launch the browser (Web), hit Options, choose Settings, then General, then change the "Access point" setting to "Always ask" (or to your WLAN access point, if you never user it elsewhere than home).
You can also set specific access points individually for bookmarks.
It's my first day with this phone, and I'd like to second whomever said GPS can be used without a SIM card. The SIM card isn't needed to connect to the internet, either (if Wi-Fi's available).

For a 3G connection though, the card is needed... which is why I took the SIM out, since I CAN'T GET IT -NOT- TO Connect to 3G automatically. Any Help? My service provider charges a costly fee for this 3G connection, and I don't want it! I don't even need it! (there's Wi-Fi almost everywhere in the city I live in).
I didn't get the iPhone because I've seen how difficult it is to prevent the 3G connection (a lot of my friends and relatives have iPhones here in Mexico), and I didn't want to add accidental 3G fees to the already expensive iPhone price.

Besides all that, the phone is really good. I've used the few hours I've had it to explore most of its key features (haven't gotten around to trying the FM transmitter).
- The keypad is, as has been said, really not as bad as it looks like. In fact, it's not bad at all.
I found typing and dialing quite easy despite my own predisposition to not liking the keypad, so there...
- Organizing your media is easy, and the 2GB do for me. (Go bigger if you plan to exchange it for your iPod)
- The only design issue (4ME) is that the camera has no protector, as it did in the N73, which I owned and loved until it got stolen after 8+ months of use.
- I fixed the fingerprint problem with a plastic, transparent layer (I have more of those from a speaker I bought which had numerous randomly sized plastic protectors) Search for those, and get rid of the fugly fingerprints (not 100% effective, but I'd say 70% cleaner).
