T-Mobile More Or Less Mum On G2 OTA

It’s hard to argue with people who have actually gotten the G2 OTA that provides Wi-Fi calling and Internet Tethering but T-Mobile isn’t ready to admit anything. The carrier provided an official response to Phonescoop regarding the purported push, which was the close relative of the “no comment” kin:

“Wi-Fi Calling and tethering/Wi-Fi sharing are not currently supported on the T-Mobile G2. T-Mobile knows these features are important to consumers and we’re working to deliver them to G2 users in the future. We have nothing further to announce at this time.”

At least they:

• Acknowledged people want it
• Said they would deliver it

As for details? Nunca.

I’m not bothered by the vague nature of the response when considering the alternative: they make a promise with a timeline, something goes wrong in testing, they have to delay, people start flipping out and you’ve got another “XYZ doesn’t care about their customers” fiascos on your hand. So all-in-all, well played TMO…

But seriously, you can start rolling that out whenever. As in… wait for it… NOW!
