One thing I'm trying to figure out is to configure it to only connect to internet using Wi-Fi, I don't want to pay for the data plan, so I'll only use my SDA to get on internet when there is a free Wi-Fi arround. Thanks, David

To connect to wifi you will obviously have to turn it on and scan for available wifi routers. With T-Mobile you really can't connect to the internet if you don't have a data plan though, so you shouldn't worry about it. If you can connect they won't charge you anything more than the data plan you currently have. If you don't have one, you shouldn't be able to connect at all. -------------------- Phone: Sprint Touch Pro

It worked just fine in at least 3 locations, using no GPRS/EDGE whatsoever. I know that IE has a setting to "Automatically Detect Settings" that may be trying to first connect via GPRS, but turning that off should give you the ability to use wifi.
