there is a thread in the tmobile section about UMA phones comming soon to tmobile. what i'm interested in is a phone that can allow a conversation to work over a cell tower and if needed, over wifi, assuming the wifi signal is stronger than the cell tower. i have no interest in a phone that uses wifi for web access.

1) is the signal transfer tech comming soon? tmobile or any provider would have a HUGE addition of clients if their phones used wifi along with cell towers for voice since wifi hotspots are usualy available in private homes where cell signals are weak.

2) will verizon provide such service?
