Along with RIM, T-Mobile announced (http://www.t-mobile.com/company/PressReleases_Article.aspx?assetName=Prs_Prs_20070 925&title=T-Mobile%20and%20RIM%20Introduce%20Blackberry%20Curv e%208320%20With%20WI-FI%20Calling%20Feature) the BlackBerry Curve 8320 (http://www.blackberry.com/blackberrycurve8320) and its ability to also partake in the HotSpot@Home (http://www.theonlyphoneyouneed.com/) goodness they have recently dished out. Although it isn't a Windows Mobile device this report comes as good fortune for the faithful Windows Mobile T-Mobile crowd. Are more developments in the works?
T-Mobile has been standing in the shadows for awhile with the slow roll out of their 3G network which seems to be hampered at every turn. If you have been keeping tabs on what the major carriers have been doing with wifi then you are sure to know that T-Mobile has been offering a HotSpot@Home service that allows certain phones to jump on your home wifi to save you minutes.
The current offering has been meager and many have been eager to start using HotSpot@Home with their Windows Mobile devices. Will T-Mobile announce the Vario III in the US with this feature or will it take a 3rd party developer to jump on this, and if so what is taking them so long? What do you think?
