*Any* Hope for UMA on G1?

[f4phantomii]

Is there any reason to even waste the time hoping the UMA functionality will be added to the G1, or even Android?

Given that UMA is more of a T-Mobile standard, it seems unlikely at this point that Google would bother spending the time to add this feature.

Can anyone throw me a bone here? Or should I just give up even holding out hope?

By UMA you mean be able to use their router to make wifi calls at home? If yes then I don't think the G1 have the hardware to do that.

UMA needs special hardware on the phone side —- you can’t just use any Wi-Fi-enabled phone. But T-Mobile’s UMA-enabled phones should work on most any WiFi network — not just your own or T-Mobile’s.

No plans (can't do it).
Look at all the UMA phones out there or the ones comin' down the pipe. NONE of them are 3G. It's a handoff issue that can't be solved. Sucks. (So I was told by UMA team at T-Mobile).
