<3 Found this setting today, while looking in Settings > Connectivity > Destinations > Options > Default connection. It allows you to select a default destination instead of selecting which one you’re gonna use for each and every app. So every app that asks for a destination now (including java!) will shut up. Combine this with the confirmation to use data network and you have auto-connection bliss.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with every last native app, since older ones still use the request for access point api. You’re presented with the select destination dialog, which is still quite elegant.
I’m no programmer, but I’m sure it’d be relatively easy for developers to change the way the app requests connectivity. And other then odd exceptions (WRT widgets? really?) it works with a lot of apps already.
Oh, and I don’t have a FP2 phone to compare to, so I don’t know if this setting is new to V5 or if it was there on V3fp2, AAS’ Rafe says destinations were improved on v5, but doesn’t mention specifics on his 5800 review.
