COMAND online only in Europe

Is it really true that the COMAND online (internet access and apps within COMAND) is only available in Europe? I read it somewhere in an earlier posting. I am debating whether to go for a 2011 E350 or 2012 E350 and the upgraded engine and COMAND online would be a big plus for the 2012.

If you can wait it sounds like they might be starting to offer it sometime during 2012 (calendar year not model year).

Mercedes e350 BlueTec
My guess is that it will be a software update to Comand 4.5 which is the Comand system in the 2012 e350 but that's only a guess. By the way, you might just be able to find Comand 4.5 in a very late build 2011 e350 because Mercedes did a running change (without telling anyone) in July. I just leased a 2011 e350 BlueTec and it has the 2012 Comand 4.5..not the Comand 4.0 that 2011's were supposed to have.
