Actually, PacBell carries the I888 now, However, their rates are
really bad - Same as ATT's US$2.5/min.
Anyway, looking at the new phone line up from MOT and ERICY, they
are target directly at NOK. NOK seems to be a little slower
in productizing new phones - 7100, 8860, 8850 and even 6185 has
problems. Any when is their "world phone" coming? Any comments?
Also, any comment on Sprint's data roll out? Although many US GSM
provider's have been doing data, the Sprint marketing is doing
a much better job and they have momentum. |
