| I want one. But I don't think ATT offers it nation wide yet. Only get ~2 bars of EDGE out where I live, but I've had Sprint EV-DO REV. A for 3 years now :/ |

T-Mobile has been using UMA for home coverage for years now. Oh, and they DONT make you buy their router or femotcell. Just get a UMA capable phone and use your existing wifi for better coverage. Pay $10/mo and you get unlimited calling too.
Much better deal than Sprint/ATT/VZW are offering.

Re: I want one. Its a moot technology already. By 2010, LTE and 5g coverage will be more dominant, and there will be no need for these |

Re: UMA I also like UMA because you don't need anything "extra". My parents have T-Mobile, but live in the sticks with poor coverage. I got them cheap UMA phones (without the $10/umlim) and works great. Now they have 5 "bars" at home and no extra monthly fee, and no equipment to buy (unless you don't have WiFi already). |
