T-Mobile’s Samsung Katalyst
There have been mumblings about it before, but it looks as if we now have a more solid release time frame. Currently slated to hit shelves in December, the Samsung Katalyst will be a new addition to T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home service, and the first slider-phone in the Hotspot@Home line-up. The Katalyst is sort of basic, with mediocre features such as a now-standard 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth, SMS, MMS, myFaves support, etc. It might be safe to say the pricing won’t be hurting your wallets, which is always a good thing. So if your T-Mobile coverage is lacking at your home or office, you can rest easy knowing come December, the T-Mobile Samsung Katalyst will be able to run on your existing Wi-Fi setup, and deliver all those missed calls and text messages.
“and delivery all those missed calls…”
Comon’ guys. Is it that difficult? Just give it a read before hitting the submit/publish button.

Having been part of the first round of @HOME TMO UMA tests, I can safely say that unless your broadband is committed to serving up the service it’s full attenttion, no phone will make a difference. So mediocre or not, don’t fault the phone on those merits. UMA service truly wasn’t intended for the masses, unfortunately this phone does little to dispel that premise.

When the service was announced they had a $10 option if you wanted to use minutes from the unlimited bucket only from you home and $20 if you wanted home + hotspots. Now the $10 seems to be gone. Why?
