T-Mobile is launching a bunch of new devices, new data plans, and rumored tethering plans on November 3, so I would imagine the G2 will be updated around the same time to offer the tethering option. But that's just a guess.
There's still no definitive release date for the OTA.
Probably when they make the tethering option public, they should send out OTAs a week or two after.

I got some news about the ota. I went to a t-mobile kiosk where I bought my g2 and was told by the guy who sold me the phone that either next week or week after the ota will be rolling out. He pretty much guaranteed me that it will roll out just after the mytouch 4g comes out, which is in a couple of days. That would make logical sense for it to come out just after the mytouch because t-mobile wants to hype that up. All the goodies we've been told are coming with it (wifi calling and tethering). The guy said that he wasn't sure if t-mobile was going to charge for tethering, but if they do then the price will be between $10 - $15. Personally I believe the info I was just given. I was told this today.

Well thanks for updating us. Let's hope it's free and that the update is in fact REAL.
Posted on my T-mobile G(spot)2 xD
Please check out my amazing blog- http://elgamerlife.blogspot.com/
I hear about all of these "logical" estimates... But the one thing I have found about T-Mobile is that very little is ever done logically.
Every person ANY of us have spoken to has done nothing but estimate, guess or fabricate a date.
It will happen when it happens and not a moment sooner! Hows that?

Hey guys, Just wanted to let everyone know, I dropped by the T-mobile store ( USA ) today to ask around and see if anybody there knew about the G2 ( MyTouch, What tmobile will be calling it when released. )
Unlike many of the rumors according to online sources, it is in fact, coming to T-mobile only. Thats right, T-mobile is the only company to get the badass phone xD!
I asked a buddy of mine that worked there about release dates and other cool new things coming for T-mobile users. He told me the G2 (MyTouch) is scheduled to be released mid/late of next month. Yep, in August. And that they had a manager down in San antonio Texas, training on the phone as we speak. I will be going back tomorrow when he gets back in town, and get all the juicy details and post them here! ( And if he lets me, some pictures ) And also we have another goody coming to us, Were aren't at 3g JUST quite yet. But August 1st, We will be getting EDGE everywhere on the T-mobile network. That was guaranteed from the store manager there. And 3G will be coming for us, sometime around december of this year. ( 3G everywhere ) not just in metro areas. ( Hurray for all the country people....IE....me )
Now I know this isn't an official saying or whatever. I don't have links, and I don't have sources you guys know and trust. But I do trust buddies of mine and the people that work at this T-mobile store. They haven't let me down yet. So, I guess we can only wait and see if it does come to T-mobile only.
Like someone said though, and I totally agree. T-mobile would be complete idiots to let this phone go to someone else. If it was to happen. There not dumb. So hurray for t-mobile users. We should have our brand new MyTouch at the end of August. So we don't have to wait to much longer guys!
http://www.t-mobilemytouch.com
If you go to the T-mobile myTouch website it has a countdown timer. It says 20 days and some change. Also lets you see all the info and features of it.
Of course it will be the same thing as the HTC Magic on Vodafone and Rogers...
Exactly. Seems like tmobile is actually the LAST to be getting it....
In fact, Im getting a vodafone magic shipped to me tomorrow. I have at&t, and I will have it before T-mobile!
lol i double checked the date when he posted pre-sale is already done too it started july 7th and from my confirmation mine should arrive aug 3rd
Oh and welcome to the forums

I love how on all their promotions they are quick to include " super fast 3G" network. Here in Jacksonville, Fl. it will be 2012 be fore we get 3g. By then eveyone else will have 4 or 5g. I am really starting to hate Tmobile.
But phone looks great. I think I will stick with my G1. I like the real keyboard, just me though.

seriously? the presale started july 8. the preorders are being shipped at the beginning of august. these two things have been known and officially announced facts for at least a month now.
but the other guys are quite correct, the same phone has been out on the european market since at least the first week of may.
by the way, confirming all of this would have been as simple as checking the t-mobile website.

But then he couldn' have got " all the juicy details and post them here!"....
-bZj
go to any local T-mobile store. they were all issued 3-4 phones to show customers one of each color at least. The packaging is really nice also. leather bag with a nice cloth sack, and nice headphones and usb/charger
"badass" phone? Yeah... with a whopping 192mb of RAM as opposed to the 288 the rest of the planet gets. Badass indeed.
I'm over the MyTouch 3G. I went ahead and bought a used G1 and am saving my upgrade till later this year, early next year till T-mo gets a better Android phone. When I mentioned this to the rep adding my data plan, he implied that as a fellow phone geek, I was doing the right thing and that while he couldn't give details, I would be very happy with what's in the pipeline.
between the four major us carriers, 15-20 android devices are to be released in the next year. so far only three of those are slated for carriers other than TMO. so yes, you'll be happy with whats coming down the pipe.

I wonder how many of those are HTC's? This is definately something to watch.
I was one of the people who pre-ordered my G1 through T-Mobile when they announced it nearly 2 years ago... August 14th I believe it was I was told by a rep the exact day that I would be available for my fully discounted upgrade. Does T-Mobile or anyone plan to have a brand new phone for us around that time? It only should seem right that someone would do something just for us!
In other words, when I am able to upgrade in August...whats the sickest droid phone I am gonna be able to get for t-mobile?
If they start sellin tha Nexus One at the store by August that will be the best Android phone on T Mobile.
The Mytouch Slide will be available June 2nd from T-Mobile.
The Nexus one if its in stores by then, HTC desire or Vision if they do make it on to the carrier (both are rumored). I don't know about the rules of this website sorry if I break them by telling you that www.tmonews.com is the best place for Tmobile news. Also the Samsung Galaxy S that has prolly the best screen on the market is coming to TMO. So TMO has go stuff coming its just they are slow and rather go after the mytouch crowd. Example mytouch fender, Behold 2, and mytouch slide. I'm in the same boat my contract is up in August.
Yeah my friend is gettin the mytouch slide and I told him its gonna be sick. I hope he let's me root it.
My girl has the behold II and hates it.
I think they gotta be plannin bringing something out. Otherwise they should fire the hmfic of deciding what and when phones get released.

On 10/26/10, i PRE-ordered my Sprint Galaxy Tab through BestBuy, especially after seeing a release date of 11/7/10. The only reason i thought that this could be an accurate date is because they do sometimes sell products before the actual carrier does. (Example: HTC Evo 4G WHT was released a few days early.)
Yesterday i received an email from BestBuy stating that there has been a change to the release date for my pre-ordered item! The new release date is 11/14/10.
*disappointed*
sorry, about the news. i was going to preorder with the samethought that bestbuy might ship early, but thanks to your report, i will wait.

a) T-Mobile Blows.
b) i currently have (3) lines of service through Sprint (HTC Supersonic, Motorola i880, and a Sierra Wireless Overdrive),all still under contract, so i really do not need a 4th line of service. Purchasing Tab out-right to replace supa slow overdrive.
c) T-Mobile Blows.
Give Best Buy more time. They'll keep disappointing you.
Yep, i haven't purchased anything from Best Buy since 2004. I would avoid it like a plague.
It's not bad. They offer you hands on experience before buying stuffs. But they just have little problem here and there. And I grew too frustrated to deal with it.
Thats weird because i had sprint for 4 days when the evo came out and had no service anywhere.. it was ****ing terrible.. even in big rural areas 45 mins from philly.. and have tmo and havent had no service.. so where i am sprint blows ..

I called and complained to Verizon about the LTE upgrade and the woman was very nice and sent me a box. I just dropped my xoom off at FedEx to head in for upgrade. Maybe if you call they will do the same or I just got lucky. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up!
Sent from your Moms EVO using 4G speed
So what's the end result? When do you get your Xoom back?
I called and they didn't offer anything. 6 1/2 months and still nothing!!!
4g is no good for me Verizon doesn't even have it here in the part of georgia i live in..yet they have it in Atlanta..sucks...oh well.Then when i asked them when it would be available in my area they said have no idea...argh
The retention rep pretended to be out of the office when I called.
Got it back yesterday, all is good, was wiped clean, not any real changes I can see. I'm in the Tampa market and I can say Verizon 4g kicks sprints 4gs ass hard. If I could get my unlimited sprint plans on Verizon I would change today.

Wow, really?! No smiley or anything? You think he's just plain lying?
If this were the Moto support forums, I'd want to see pics too because it gets pretty deep over there. This site does not truck with BS artists and those things have a way of working themselves out here. I trust the OP more than the whole batch of Motoxprts combined. (They aren't all pieces of crap but they had a bit of a credibility problem for a while there. I can understand the caution, but I'm content with the OP's statement.)

"Caroline" Verizon customer service ID 2047489
Im calling BS till Pictures are shown of the upgraded device. I spoke with both Motorola and Verizon yesterday for approximately an hour each, Supervisors in customer retention et cetra, they sure were not offering to send a box to my door to ship it to moto for a upgrade (I know, I asked) spoke to "Caroline" Verizon customer service ID 2047489 and her supervisor. Try giving them a call their as clueless as the deceptive Motorola staff.
i already have a box for a different issue. You think if I send it in they will fix it and throw the lte upgrade in for the heck of it?
How about going into settings and getting a pic of u holding up ur 4g upgraded xoom. Where it shows the build and version. The reason it's hard to believe is that so many of us have called and gotten no box to ship ours out. I have called and gone to every vzw store within 150 miles. None of them have had a xoom upgraded yet. As far as I'm concerned motor can send my 2 4g cards to my door! The damn bionic is crap! Why would I trust a cheap tech to put my cards in without screwing them up?
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
As soon as I figure out how to get a pic on here I will. I just called and said I was told I was getting a box to send it in. The person didn't have a clue what I was talking about and got a supervisor that did know, she apologized and sent me a box, it was that easy. She probably wasn't suppose to do it but all Verizon employees and Verizon contractors as well as fortune 500 customers have all received the upgrade. It does exist.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
i find it interesting that verizon would offer to send you a box since, to the best of my knowledge, motorola is the one performing the upgrade?
not calling BS, just a little odd that vzw would be sending it.
I work for Verizon Wireless Corp here in Lansing Michigan as a retail sales rep. I had sent my xoom tablet in a couple of weeks ago during an Employee Only offering to test the process of upgrades to the Motorola Xoom. The whole process took about 4 days including the ordering of the box they send you. Was kinda hesitant due to the fact that I really customized alot of settings ... apps that arent avail any more..etc., So I sent it in without backing anything up (took a "Big" risk of losing my stuff), once I got it back my xoom had plastic protection on the screen , documentation of what was installed and a new build number " HLK42B ". Once I turned my device back on with fingers crossed.... all of my apps, movies, settings everything was how i left It. Was very satisfied with the care they took and notifing me along the way by email once recieved, completed , and sent from repair location. The 4G in my area is beyong what I expected. For those on the fence well worth sending it in.

Lol I'm with you on that one.
I call BS on the OP unless he's a Verizon employee, which it doesn't sound like.
Been a member on the forums since 2008 and still doesn't know how to attach a pic...lol?
Oh well, we're still waiting. I've called, gone into Stores, came out with diddly. Sent a complaint to the State Attorney General of Oregon about it to see if that expedites anything.
And the Fortune 500 Customer thing doesn't make sense to me. I'm an IBM employee, have my IBM discount, last I checked we were at #18 on the Fortune 500 list. I get no preferential treatment....weird
I still have my March 4th email promising the 4G upgrade " Coming Soon ". I don't think anyone would agree that 7 months was soon.
I just got off the phone with Motorola Support (800-734-5870). They still told me end of this month. I very politely asked him to look at the nearest calendar and tell me what date it says...these guys are idiots and MOT is a joke.
I received the $100 off email yesterday. But I'm on Sprint. And I can't select Sprint on the pre-order site, so I haven't ordered the phone yet.
Has anyone pre-ordered a Sprint phone yet?
It hasn't even been announced when pre-orders will take place.

Me too, contacted Sprint, no tentative date of release. They need to get the ball rolling.
I'm waiting as well.
I must admit, I've been very excited for the release of this device. I've been a big fan of HTC since the Hero days and am still quite happy with and impressed by my trusty M7. The release of the 10 has, in my opinion, been nothing short of dismal. As evidenced by Samsung and even LG, you need to have your product available when the hype is at its peak. I'm really optimistic that the 10 will be worth the wait (despite not being water resistant, which would have put the thing over-the-top) but in this day and age people don't like to wait and with so many other great options available a struggling company can't afford to miss out on even one potential sale...
Totally agree. Should have been available at announcement.
Verizon is the #1 Carrier and seems to sell the most phones for HTC so I have no doubt that they were the first because of that. Back on the M8 sprint got the only harman kardon edition and I am think they didn't sell as many as HTC would have liked. HTC is trying to fix their profit problems in the US and one way to do that is to make Verizon happy. The sprint version will come. We already know a t-mobile phone will come as they did an un-boxing yet no announcement and I would assume its because Verizon rigged the game to be first. ATT won't sell it probably because they don't care to, they know people that want the phone want an unlocked/unlocked bootloader and will pay for it and they are possibly fine with that. Plus I assume they have have a better deal with Samsung and Apple where they make more money per phone sold. I will say it is sad to see that the unlocked version wont work on sprint, I think you can blame Verizon for that. This is only my opinion but verizon is opposed to unlocked bootloaders we all know, but since its CDMA it would be eaiser for HTC to make one "CDMA version" of the phone for both Verizon and sprint. It is still unclear if the unlocked version will have CDMA bands my guess is it wont. If it has CDMA the unlocked version has band 13 and should work on Verizon. That would be a big disappointment for sprint users since it does not have the 25, 26, 41 LTE bands. I am just glad I will be on ATT now...
I should add Verizon always gets their way, I cant wait till they day that stops but until then bye bye.
Really surprised there's not even a sign of when pre-orders are going to start yet. All the hype will be gone by the time that date arrives....

saw a email (addressed to someone else) from a marketing VP @ HTC which said the sprint option would be available on htc.com on 5/11...take that with a grain of salt...it didn't mention if the option was to buy or pre-order, though you'd think by then it should be the option to buy!
Let's hope so

Still too far away, lol. Hopefully pre-orders start soon. Thanks for the info though.
So, no contract renewals for 199$ ?
We are expected to pay for the phone AND stay with Sprint using a phone that cannot be transferred to any other GSM network?
Somehow, GSM carriers are now looking good.
I have been with sprint since they kitted out as Sprint. Hope the above is not the only option.

Consider T-Mobile if the coverage works in your area. It's super fast in most big cities, the plans are reasonable and they are modding friendly.
But T Mobile will not have OMJ
