Re: Not True
That's probably in part because in 2007, it utilized a technology called UMA (Unlicensed Mobile Access) and was available primarily on Blackberries and some Nokia and Moto phones at launch. At a high level, it functioned like Wifi calling, but was somewhat different on a technical level. Ironically, UMA supported handoff to the Mobile network - the current implementation of Wifi Calling does not (rather, it is not implemented by T-Mobile, although the specification allows for it).

"Stall tactics" to actually have an opportunity to read and vet 332 pages of regulation that have the potential to impact the lives of virtually everyone who participates in the modern economy?
You're a ridiculous fool if you believe it is "pouting and foot stomping" to object to introducing substantial new government regulation without even a shred of transparency and ...

The phone is 11.5mm thick, and yes, it is 130g (about 4.5 ounces). However, as a point of comparison, the iPhone 3GS is 12.3mm thick and 135g. So it is both thinner and lighter than an iPhone 3GS. Plus it is sold unlocked. Plus it is being developed for Verizon. Plus it's Android 2.1. If that's not enough for you, move to Japan.
