Well, I got my paws on an 8705 today, and as most everyone knows, there is nothing really special about this device other than being HAC, but these pictures certainly answer the question as to whether the device would have 4.2.
I did not see a MyFaves app, but that doesn't mean much as that is a SIM dependent app, and I don't have MyFaves service.
Just a bit of info on the MyFaves service here in the US. It is not reliant on the phone. But T-Mobile is requiring that you have a MyFaves phone set up on the account.
So, what you can do is get the cheapest MyFaves phone and then stick the sim card in whatever phone you want. You can manage the 5 numbers from the My Tmobile website.

That is true, but there is a myFaves application that is installed OTA on the 8100 if your SIM is provisioned for the service. Since I don't have mFaves, I was unable to test whether the 4.1 OS on the 8705 was capable of receiving the myFaves app.

The myFaves application is installed by default with OS 4.2 - on ALL handhelds (even non-TMO devices). The provisioning by TMO for the service simply enables the application, which is otherwise dormant.
