One of the great things about the iPhone is that (once set-up) it will seamlessly flip from using wifi comms to mobile provider comms. So I sit in the garden looking at a site or two on the net and it is using my wifi link. I walk off and it automatically then moves to mobile comms to get web pages without me having to do a thing – nothing. And when I wander back it picks up the wifi and starts using that again. Can the E71 do this?

The reason I ask is that I have a Nokia E61 and this will not do the above. I have to endlessly click and do stuff to swap – and even to just pick up email it seems to want to keep asking me what comms to use. Very annoying. There is a third party app (Psiloc Connect) to help correct this but while some speak most highly of it others have problems. Anyway I would I’d prefer a phone (like the iPhone) which does the right thing out of the box really.

I do appreciate with the advent of 3G that wifi is not so vital perhaps but I do use my mobile device around the house a lot and I don’t want to be eating into my ‘all I can eat’ mobile data allowance – which is actually capped and expensive if I were to go above.

Thanks for your help
