I'm guessing no. Otherwise you would have seen the part where they didn't test WLAN against the head because it wouldn't be used for VoIP. Seriously, it doesnt take long to factcheck and considering the source, you should have. I do like this website and you guys usually do a good job! Don't want to seem to negative, but its just that I get all excited and it took me all of 5 minutes to find the truth. Sorry all, but it looks like no UMA still, which sux because I was hoping that it would become available for the G1(which I use and love) too! BGR, did you read the FCC filing? I’m guessing no.

I currently have the G1 and I like android, I just feel it needs a little work and then it will be a lot better of a phone. And I like the fact that it will have the cupcake virtual qwerty and an upgraded camera from 3.2 to 5.0 megapixels. I do hope that it has autofocus and a good lens as well though because if it doesn't, there isn't any point of the increased megapixels. BG, get a hands on with this one ASAP and compare it to all the hard hitters on each carrier and of course the G1... This is what I’ve been waiting for.

HTC doesn't exactly send their premium handsets for the android spec, so this thing could be a POS. And... WHATS THE PROC SPEED? My G1 is slow. You can have a gazillion megapixel camera - if your image SENSOR isn't bigger (read about DX vs. FX vs. point and shoot cameras) your image quality will always be garbage. If consumers wouldn't get hyped up on manufacturer PLOYS, but only legitimate qualitative differences, manufacturers would have to comply to compete where consumer focus IS. Learn what matters... only respond to IT, and the products you get will be better. :) Heres the thing; now you’re committed to cupcake being solid – and its the first iteration.

The 5 megapixel camera sounds nice, but will be useless if it doesn't have autofocus and doesn't take good quality pictures. Let's hope it does both extremely well, then T-Mobile and Google will really have a winner on their hands.
