Valley Stream, NY | UMA (again) Who cares about femtocell, if you have UMA phone, just connect to any wifi. It uses your minutes and data (T-Mobile still has "unlimited") but since you can use it ANYWHERE, I am not complaining

Warner Robins, GA Reviews:

| The T Mobile G1's (Google Developer versions with the fancy case back) will use Wi-Fi connections with 3G/Edge turned off completely. If a compatible Sim card without data service from an AT&T phone (Nokia) is installed, there is no data service. Thus any billing of any type for data service from AT&T is totally bogus in this situation.
The beauty of such a customer owned phone as the G1 "Developer" version is that the provider does not directly control what operating system version is used, and does not have the ability to easily disable phone features, such as tethering and use of apps obtained from other than the provider.
The greed of mobile phone providers is monumental.

Valley Stream, NY | I use rooted G1 and I enjoy tethering (wired or wifi) it just lacks UMA that blackberries have, but I believe phones should have unrestricted access to net via wifi. Sadly even blackberries limit free wifi usage
