Wow, what a day for prospective T-Mobile UMA customers. First, we bring word of the launch date and contest, and now some further details to wet your appetite. Chyea! We managed to get our hands on the official launch documents, detailing the launch events. It looks like T-Mobile is really pulling out all the stops for this one. Trying to steal some iPhone thunder, perhaps? Never that! Here’s what we know: The TV spots that will air on the 27th will, in fact, feature a guy named Jimmy. He will be wearing a bath robe. T-Mobile CSRs are being encouraged to wear gear sporting Jimmy’s ugly mug during the launch period. All CSRs will be wearing bath robes on July 3rd too. Why July 3rd, you ask? That happens to be the day of the contest we told you about. The first 100 people to show up at one of 11 select T-Mobile retail stores on the morning on the 3rd wearing a bath robe, will receive free T-Mobile@Home equipment and service for an entire year. Which 11 stores? You know we’ve got the inside track on that as well. The breakdown is right after the jump along with the leaked documents! Anyone crazy enough to hit a T-Mobile store at 9:00AM on July 3rd in full bath robe garb please let us know. We’ll be laughing right at you along with you.

UPDATE: Nokia 6086, and Samsung t409 product guides added along with T-Mobile D-Link, and Linksys HotSpot@Home routers!
