Need Phone with Wifi Capability

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:54:22 GMT

Can someone recommend a SE phone that I has wifi capabilites ? T-Mobile doesn't have many SE phones but I want an unlocked one that will be able to utilize the wifi calling that T-Mobile offers. I assume that wifi calling is not proprietary, but I may be wrong. I don't want an andriod phone, because i only make calls and text, nothing else. It can be a current SE model or discontinued.

Thanks

you should think about it, Sony Ericsson will stop releasing non-smartphones by the end of this year, they already stopped supporting/updating symbian and windows phones for more than a year, and the latest Java phones like the txt or txt pro have a LOT of issues and SE won't seem to be interested on updating. the alternative, get a cheap android phone, like the X10 or X8 and then use a custom ROM to update it to the latest firmware.

I would suggest Hazel or Elm in that case. You can find more info about them on the website.

But you will have to check with T-mobile if they can be used for calling over Wi-Fi using their service.

Thanks Johan and u-w. Is the WiFi capability the same as UMA ?

It's not the same.

We have two phone models with support for UMA. W705 and G705. These are older models and may be hard to get today.
