H6315 does not seamlessly switch between Wi-Fi and GPRS

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

For what I know, the 6315 is not supposed to know how to ROAM between Wifi
and GPRS.

It actually does roam smootly, just depends on the way youve set up
your connections. I threw out all T-Mob connections and created my own
clled "My ISP", just the way the other PPC's usually have. Then I set
both work and internet connections to "My ISP".

If you do not want the GPRS message to pop up because you do not
subscripe to GPRS plans, just delete all entries under modem
connections.

Two questions:

1. I have exactly the same setup; it roams seamlessly between two Access
Points of the same WiFi network, but never roamed between WiFi and GPRS.
2. How can it roam for you between WiFi and GPRS if you say you don't have
GPRS?

BTW, this setup will not work for someone that needs a VPN.
