Sprint will get the dual mode later; > it gets the 1900 mghz. phones first from Qualcomm. A followup question. Will the Q860 be able to operate on the Sprint (100% 1900 MHz) network? If the answer is yes, then please explain how does a 800 MHz phone work on a 1900 MHz network? If the answer is no, then why don't Qualcomm offer a dual-mode phone that does 1900 MHz & analog? I noticed that SprintPCS does not offer any dual-mode phones for analog roaming (http://www.sprintpcs.com/store/equipment.asp), why is that? (is it because analog is 800 MHz?) As you can see, I am pretty confused. Thanks for your help. p.s. While I am at it, why don't they make phones that can roam both TDMA and CDMA networks? And in Europe (and Asia), won't they need phones that can roam both GSM and CDMA networks someday? ... then, you know what my next question is ... GSM IPR and royalties ... Lots of questions tonight.
