* I'd love to see T-Mobile-USA support added to that, but I expect that that will follow as soon as it's economically feasible to add that to the chipset ... the hurdle is really "why not have a WCDMA Edition"?
I think you just illustrated the argument AGAINST embedding a cell radio in a NIT and a good argument for what I've been saying--put a slot in there where we can buy a radio separately and CHOOSE the carrier and radio we wish to have. Making multiple 'editions' of a product is terribly wasteful and expensive.
