curve and hotspot@home
I am thinking of buying the curve, for email, internet and because of the wifi.
Is it that good of a phone for this?
Also, I currently have a wireless router for my home network, can I just use this and not have to buy one from Tmobile?
Can I be at a friends house and connect to his wireless router and make and receive free calls?

10000% its a great phone! I am using it for the same exact reason you are.... I was sketchy about the UMA hotspot... but it's AWESOME! CLEAR AS A BELL!
You DO NOT have to use their router. It will connect to any open wifi (or security enabled if you have the pass key). Then you will get unlimited calls for 10 bucks a month... I use it becuase cell service suks at my house.... haven't dropped a call yet.
Yes... you can be on your friends wifi...
Hope this helped... Oh and PS if you can wait.. I got my Curve for $99 bucks, with a $50 mail in rebate... (that included a 44.99 overnight shipping charge). Now that is only good for new activcation.... They may have different prices for upgrades... Still beats the 249 T-MO wants.
