A lot of the other droid phones advertise WiFi, but the X doesn't. Why? Does it not have WiFi? What is different about it from the other phones that advertise WiFi?
I didn't see it listed in the features category on line. Looked under all headings.
So, if you are within range of a wireless router does that mean it will automatically switch to WiFi to do everything, even make phone calls?
That would be great, would take care of those crappy signals inside buildings and businesses.
Not only does the Droid X have WiFi, it has Wifi hotspot which the advertisements boast. So it can not only connect to Wifi, it can be a wifi connection.
No it does not automatically connect to wifi, you have to set it up. And your phone calls can only be placed over the cellular network.
Do any of the phones use WiFi to make calls when available? I think some of the competition does.
If you have Skype you can do free skype to skype calls over wifi with the latest update. However I have never heard of any "competition" having internet calling. Skype Mobile is even exclusive to Verizon right now.
Edit: Scratch that, Skype is still only over 3g. Reading thru their updates and the following update said it doesn't work over wifi, but simply doesn't require you to close your wifi connection before using Skype which runs over 3g.
