'"Customers won't be flocking in to buy 1xRTT handsets". ... because there is comparatively little interest of yet in mobile wireless data in the US, and not much is forecasted for the next few years (for 3G associated services). Messaging is slowly becoming a requirement but you don't need 1xRTT for basic messaging.'

Customers will be flocking in to buy 1xRTT because service providers will motivate them. Service providers want 1x handsets because of voice capacity increase. Faster data speed will be free and after thought. Users buy handsets based on features ( bells and whistles ) that most of them will never use. So some will be motivated by the TV add. 1x phones will have additional appeal as any newer phone would have. But voice capacity gain and faster data will increase that appeal significantly.
