asterisk users - Apr 2008 - OT: UMA in UK, any use?

Hi,sorry for off topic post, struggling to find any information on UMA in
the UK. I have a Blackberry 8320 phone with wi-fi and UMA
capability, its actually an unlocked Orange branded phone.
T-Mobile don't support UMA in the UK, is it possible to do anything else
with the UMA feature of this phone? Or, is it totally locked to your
network provider?
Any possible way of hacking it to work as some kind of voip client to work
on one's own implementation of UMA, if such
a thing even exists? :)

Thanks
Mike

UMA is completely tied to the operators. It requires back-end technology
to transfer the call from GSM/3G to WiFi or vice versa.
