T-Mobile Issues Statement About the G2 Wi-Fi Calling and Tethering

While a few T-Mobile G2 handsets received an OTA update bringing features like Wi-Fi calling, tethering and a new radio, T-Mobile has issued the following statement, which leads us to believe that an update to everyone will probably come in a couple of weeks.

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.

As some of us have already received the apk for Wi-Fi calling that was pulled from an updated G2, we know that this update does exist. But by reading the statement, T-Mobile acts as if there wasn’t an update at all, which leads us to believe that if they don’t hear any complaints they’ll start rolling this bad boy out, but first they must at least acknowledge an update.

Has anyone received the update? When did you receive it?

Want the Wi-Fi Calling apk? Grab it here! *Note* It’s not working on the Google Nexus One. Be sure to let me know what devices it is or isn’t working on in the comments below, so I can update this post accordingly. Enjoy!

[Update] The application gets stuck at “Enabling…” and I’m running it on the G2, is this happening to everyone?
