Any information on availability of T-mobile @Home service nationwide.

The @Home service has been on trial in Seattle since last September, but
rumours are that there will be a nationwide rollout sometime this summer.
Any idea of fees.

Will there be any support for WM6 Smartphones for the @Home service
such as T-Mobile Dash.

Not really- anyone "in the know" is probably not at liberty to say.

Again, T-Mo isn't telling, but IIRC, in the Seattle trial it w
s $20/month extra for unlimited VoIP (@home) minutes, or you could pay
nothing extra and have your VoIP minutes count as cellular plan minutes
(this option was mainly designed for those who had low or no signal at
their home and wanted to use their home wi-fi as a T-Mobile "tower."

Doubtful.  In my experience the slow-CPU Windows Mobile devices T-Mo
offers (200MHz) work pretty crummy for VoIP so I doubt T-Mo would offer
@Home software for the Dash just so people could complain how lousy it is.

OTOH, why wait until summer and pay $20/month extra?  You could add Skype
to your Dash today and "simulate" @Home now.  Unlimited Skype outgoing
calls are $30/year, and an incoming Skype number is $38/year.  Set your
Dash to forward to your Skype number when unavailable, and when you use
Skype "at home" your Dash's incoming calls will roll to Skype, and your
outgoing Skype calls will be free.  This will set you back $70/year
instead of $240 (or whatever T-Mo charges for the service.)

Before considering this, of course, I'd try Skype on the Dash first- on
my MDA (also 200MHz) Skype audio is less than stellar.  I have to
overclock my MDA to 240MHz for acceptable audio.

(BTW, there's an "alt.cellular.t-mobile" newsgroup now, and it's FAR more
active than the Voicestream group- I posted this reply there also.)
