well, depends on how you define "we"...lol

6700/700wx users? Who knows

Though if you wanted a T-Mobile "Dash" (aka HTC Excalibur/S620) you can get it right now as that includes AKU 3.0 (the gf is going to pick one up, but not till Jan).

Other devices like the HTC Trinity and HTC Artemis 160 which are either already out or just about to come out also have AKU 3.0.

And for certain t-mobile/cingular devices, AKU 3.2 has been out on XDA since Sept.
