That's not really true. My Droid X will, if WiFi is on, connect to any network that it's setup to connect to. If nothing is around, it goes to the cell network. My older Windows Mobile phone behaved the same way. The only manual switching I have/had to do is if I had turned the WiFi radio off to save battery.

I'm sure that's how the K3 will work too. Unless I'm missing something in your post, I'm not sure how that's different from phones.
