GPRS or WIFI?

[macmacman]

Hi, if both GPRS and WIFI are present which wins? Does WM6 choose the faster connections, ie wifi to surf the web and receive emails?

Are there any settings for this? Many thanks

i'm interested in this too.
I flashed my Hermes with WM6 xesterday, and updated it today with the GPRSSettings via .cab-file.

20minutes ago i recognized the G in my titlebar, an it showed up that WM6 has established a 3G Connection for about 55minutes... does it cost anything if i'm just connected to the 3G network? or do i have to pay for transfered bytes only?

greetings

I think we only pay for what you download? So gprs can be connected for hours but if you only download one email and view one web page you pay for how many mbs you download.

yes, but what if i set up an emailaccount in the messaging-application, set it up to check my server every 15minutes, and haven't got any wifi connection available. Is there a way to limit my phone to wifi when checking for emails, without removing my GPRS settings? (because i need them for MMS i think)

Sorry, i don't know. Hoping someone can answer my first question:

now I'm not really sure, and probably you've seen it already, but in case not the first post in the following thread might help

The beauty is that Windows mobile knows it needs to use the "GPRS Internet", only when other connections are not present.
