My understanding of reading about the UMA standard, is that the UMA box your carrier lets you connect to your broadband connection effectively becomes a GSM base station, except that it uses tcp/ip networking to reach your carrier rather than private networks. It talks to the network as if it were simply another cell site that you are going in/out of. Therefore, the signaling involved would somehow need to take this into account. This could prove to be either very hard, or if something else is needed, perhaps a coordinated GSM/UMA response, it may be impossible with the exact hardware that was chosen. I'm also not certain that tmobile would allow you to subscribe to the service without having one of their preapproved phones. In the coming months, this among many other questions is sure to be answered definitively.
