The UK and dev models don't have it any more than it has any of the other T-mobile USA specific applications. (The bad news is that the "open source" IM framework comes with no examples and does not build without the closed-source gtalk modules, so you're better off with meebo or another third-party implementation.) Feel free to stay indignant though, its cute.
