Default x7510 - Is it possible to make the system autoselect the best connection?

I am having problems with the x7510 which I have not had on my Tilt.

Problem 1 - related to email:

For every email account, during setup I am asked to select the one and only internet connection that will be used for the email account:

Edit account setup -> next
E-mail Setup (E-mail address) -> next
E-mail Setup (Your name ..) -> next
E-mail Setup (Incoming mail server) -> next
E-mail Setup (Username ..) -> next
E-mail Setup (Outgoing (SMTP) mail server..) -> PRESS ADVANCED SERVER SETTINGS LINK

Now the software wants me to select ONE and only ONE internet connection for this email account.

Every email account on the x7510 has the same behavior (even the Outlook Exchange Server) and I have 3 email accounts on this phone.

problem 2: related to HTC weather screen

The weather screen will not update the weather unless I am connected to a wifi (802.11) link. It will not update using the data link through my cellular phone provider.

problem 3:

Opera browser seems to be telling all web sites that I am a mobile phone so I get only the huge cartoon letter web pages. I would prefer to get standard format web pages - that's why I bought a 640 x 480 screen.
NOTE: This did not happen with the ROM that was in the phone when I bought it (browser showed full-featured web pages), only after I flashed the ROM below from the cmonex sticky.

Questions:

Does an app or registry fix exist that will let me tell the x7510 to use the best data link that is available, preferably by rank? In other words, show me a list of all available data links (Wifi, Bluetooth PAN, MEdiaNet) and let me rank them in order of my preference of use rather than forcing me to slog through 5 levels of email setup to change to use wifi when I am at home in a cellular dead spot and the re-slog through those menus when I am on the road out of range of wifi but with a good 3G signal? Is auto-select such a tough thing to implement?

Also, how do I adjust the link that HTC weather uses to get its data or is it hard wired under the hood to only use wifi?

And lastly, how do I make Opera stop telling the servers of the world that I am running on a 320x240 web enabled phone?

Thank you for your help,
LittleBrotherJ

Default I found a fix for the weather

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363417

Is a fix for the weather.
The new HTC Home screen has a smaller clock at the top and a different layout but at lest it downloads weather data over the cellular network.

If I find fixes for the others I will update as needed.

Thanks,
LBJ

Default Weather Fix

The site below has instructions with pictures on how to fix the weather problem. In a nutshell make sure "This network uses a proxy server to connect to the internet" is not selected under settings and connections.

I have had to mess with this twice because of switching sim cards while traveling.
