Re: 3G vs WiFi - which does the VZW TP2 use when both are available?

I still find that if I randomly check, WiFi or Data Connection will be turned on or off.

I'm inclined to just turn off Data Connection manually when I'm home, and use my WiFI. If I do that, will the phone automatically turn it back on when I leave my home and WiFi?

I guess I wish there were some way to configure it so that it automatically turns off whichever data connection is not available.

And in a related matter - what exactly does the slider for WiFi do when you vary it between Performance and Battery Life?
I know that if you leave your house and try to browse the internet, it will turn the data connection back on, but it won't turn off the wifi either. Since I use push Gmail, I just leave the data connection on and keep the charger nearby, turning on/off wifi as needed.
