3. You can turn off the radio and leave WiFi on as well as BT. I use PocketAlarm and put it into Sleep Mode but turn on BT as needed. With this set up I only lost 10% battery power while away from a plug for two days with all radios shut down.
4. Nonetheless, shame this is not quadband. I have a cheap GPS phone here and use it with insertable cards.
5. Of course, you could get an iPhone..... but they get you $1 a minute. Better to buy a new phone. If you are in France you can get rates of about .3-.4 Euro/min.

Thanks for the great info. I just tried everything out and it works fine on my wifi at home. Should i expect similar results in europe if the connection is good? And i just purchased the 2.99 unlimited calling to US landlines/mobile phones. That should work if im in europe calling via wifi to the US? I dont plan on calling europe, just from there to here.
And i might be doing something wrong but i cant turn the phone in airplane mode and use wifi! Isnt airplane mode so that nothing goes in or out of the phone? I can turn of the "Data connection" and use wifi, but i cant turn off the phone icon thing in the comm manager and use wifi. Thanksss everyone!
