so......, does the new iphone software allow this?
Yes, you can turn the Data Roaming off so you wont rack up the international data roaming charges...then, when you find a wifi hotspot, you can still download all your email and surf for free.

Supposedly Truphone allows you to receive a call on a network and then switch the call to a wifi network in mid conversation, thus saving big bucks on international network roaming. If/when the full version of Skype hits the iPhone they will surely include this nifty feature too.
