I think the Bold will have UMA as does the Curve. Why go backwards? The Pearl II has it right? As far as the 3G goes, I sure hope so.

Considering the only decent thing about Sprint is their handsets, I know a lot of people that care when Sprint releases them.

I guess the price is applied for hardware modification (add TalkForever, change 3G band to 1700)
but it’s too early to speculate the price this time, because there’s still several months away

So there is nothing miraculous here… No 3G (1700 band required, remember?) and no UMA. Poo what a waste of a device launch

I wouldn’t believe any of that information. If you go to Blackberry’s site and check out that specs there http://www.blackberry.com/blackberrybold/ you will see when you click on “features” and then wi-fi that it really speaks of being able to do Wi-Fi calling.

Here is what it says, “Simple and straightforward. Lower your cellular costs and get service in areas where cellular network coverage may be limited or unavailable, with BlackBerry® data services over Wi-Fi® networks.”

Sounds like UMA to me. I could be entirely wrong, but I guess we will find out in September. :)

Wow looks like a lot has changed in the last 24 hours. The picture posted was updated on infosync, the guys that released all these rumors. UMA is unknown, and 3G is a no. Oy
Hopefully these are not the final specs

Unlicensed Mobile Access is what uma stands for and uma is for t-mobiles hotspot@home or now know as talk forever mobile …it is so you can use wi-fi phones that have uma in them to use them basicly like VOIP phones
