Right on schedule, T-Mobile USA has dropped the BlackBerry 8820. This Wi-Fi enabled handset sports GPS, a full QWERTY keyboard, microSD slot, and a whole lot more. Features-wise, this thing isn’t a whole lot different from the 8820 that dropped on AT&T last Fall, but with support for T-Mobile’s Hotspot@Home UMA calling service, we’re sure this appeal to more than a few of you out there. The phone is availbel right now from retail channels including t-mobile.com and most T-Mobile corporate stores. Expect to pay $349 with a 2-year contract.

BB with GPS + Wi-Fi. A bit late but still the most fetching offer from T-Mobile USA…

Seems none of the corporate stores in the Bay Area have it yet - some are estimating having it sometime next week. Pity.

I just went to the T-Mobile web site and took a look. I can’t find any reference to GPS on the device.

No mention of the GPS or UMA calling feature on tmo website. But I beleive the phone has those features. It was reviewed in ZDNET.
