T-Mobile adds Wi-Fi calling, and I turned it off!

Today I woke up to find an update was available for my Motorola Charm through T-Mobile. For a moment I got excited thinking I may be upgraded from Android 2.1, until I remembered they are not upgrading my phone. After reading the highlights (outlined below) I thought the Wi-Fi calling was a step forward as a standard feature. I use other solutions, but the average user needs something simple and built-in.

My dreams and hopes where shot down fast. After the update and restart I was welcomed with a message stating calls over Wi-Fi use my cellular plan minutes. Really? So, I use my network connection and you still charge me? Not today T-Mobile. I promptly disabled that "feature". The rest of the update had some good behind the scenes updates, but horrendously includes more applications you can not remove. Leo Getz is still right about cell phones!
