no real deal breaker here. i was hoping for it though so i could use google voice on my tp and have data provided by wimax thru evo so i could have my tp for work and evo for personal and only pay one bill. oh well. as soon as phone hits a store, i will travle there and get it. since work has me on the road, i wont be waiting for it to hit my home area.

I really hope they can get it worked out within a few months of release.

Preferably in a couple of weeks. Would make for great PR.

Thanks elephant.

they even said when they were showing off the evo that it wasnt for sure yet. Still needs testing and a bit of software to run.

There could be a few factors behind it. Im pretty sure the phone probably doesnt charge while doing this and may kill the phone battery quickly. Now if they can get this to work and also allow the phone to still to charge while doing this or mifi.

Why wouldn't it? even the TP2 does MIFI and charge...I would expect a newer device to be able to as well

well u know what would work. just setup google voice and have all your calls forwarded to it. if ur on data and u get a call using a data stream it wouldnt be inturpted correct?

GV is just a call forwarding function. You are still using your 1X to make calls through GV. If/When Google becomes a full VOIP.....watch out world!!!

The TP2 is also a 3g device. Who knows if 4g drains the battery faster.
