Default UMA for Android

More or less confirmed. UMA app coming to "select Android devices"

This will most likely mean Vibrant and G2 for now. I'm just happy to have the option. As reported, UMA Lite will not support UMA-GSM handoffs, but we all know those fail 80% of the time anyway

The screenshot is from an internal training module, it appears.

T-Mobile to bundle Wi-Fi Calling app with future Android devices? -- Engadget
Engadget posted their version of the article as well. Looks like buying the G2 is getting to be a better and better decision.

As long as I can make calls/texts/data over Wi-Fi, then I'm happy!

w00t!

This means I can get service everywhere on campus with my Vibrant. Always good when you have classes in the dungeon

I plan to get Android for my next phone (I'll still come to CB though) and this is really exciting.

Last time I checked, Android supports wifi networks with 802.11x security. BB doesn't so even though I can have UMA, I don't have access to it anywhere on campus with campus wifi because it won't connect with that security. With android and this app, now I can.

can't wait.

Kick-arse!!!

As much as I love my 9700 and loathing my Andriods I had as they were pretty much bricks, this excites me as there are a lot of new killer Andriod phones on the market.

Always wondered why they didn't offer this on the older ones, when BB did through T-Mobile.

This is good news come upgrade time, granted it won't be for awhile.
