The guy at the T-Mobile store swore it was in there.

IS it just me that can't find it or does this phone not have it?

This would REALLY suck as a deal breaker as I get hideous reception at home. This phone is perfect in every other way damn it. Why does there always have to be SOMETHING!?!?

I keep reading a lot of rumors saying it will come in an update, but can't seem to find anything official. I'm not sure if it isn't just wishful thinking?

I am pretty sure it's coming, I am also banking on it, it would be a horribly huge mistake if they did not release it.  It will also come on first update of HTC Amaze

^It's already built into the Amaze under the wireless networks settings, it's not longer an app in the app drawer.

Also, for both phones it's required to use the sim card that comes with the phone, as you won't be able to use wifi calling. On the Amaze I got an error saying that my sim card was invalid to utilize wifi calling. So, yeaaah not sure what's so special about the new sim cards, but apparently it matters.

Hey guess what? GS2 does not. support wifi calling at this time. TMO falsely represented the phone saying in would. I talked with multiple peole in customer service and they have no clue when the software fix will be available. So much for knowledgable and Truthful selling. I took my GS2 back the next day once I found out the full story. What sets TMO apart was wifi calling in homes where you have solar shield decking interferance. I am back using my HTC Sensation for now. Asked them to call when SG2 gets wifi calling.

Don't think so. Think this is something physically related with the sim card, rather than only software.

They look the same to me, couldn't find anything different.

That sucks, that should've been available since day 1 like on the Amaze. Guess they are still ironing out some kinks for the Galaxy's version of the app.
