I have been an original Pearl owner for a long time and my wife recently upgraded to the wi-fi 8120. I have it configured to my home wireless router. It will show "T-Mobile - xxx access point name" on the display. Does this mean I am making calls via EDGE or via wi-fi? I am 200 yards from a t-Mobile tower in my house so I always have full blown EDGE. The browsing seems wickedly fast at home on her 8120. I have never seen a UMA icon light up. I do not subscribe to hot spot at home. How exactly does this work?
With that said I expect the arrival today of my 8320. I know many who are running the 4.5 beta as well. I will probably stick with the 4.2.2 for now and I have quite a few 3rd party apps I need to run properly. BB Alerts being my main priority.
