Perhaps most surprising to me is the mention of T-Mobile USA with respect to the BlackBerry 9000. The "error translator" is for the GAN/UMA technology.

RIM sees xxx8220;unbelievablexxx8221; potential in Wi-Fi and UMA

The Canadian Press today reported on RIMxxx8217;s co-CEO, Jim Balsillie, comments about the current state of the market. Quoting from the article:

[Balsillie] sees xxx8220;unbelievablexxx8221; potential in Wi-Fi technology and UMA xxx8211; unlicensed mobile access, a system allowing seamless roaming between local area networks and wide area networks, delivering voice, data and Internet access to mobile devices.

This convergence, Balsillie said, is xxx8220;incredibly positive to a carrier that thoughtfully embraces it.xxx8221;

It sounds like we can expect more UMA-enabled devices from RIM.
