Elizabeth, Never trust a press-release:-) the TimePort is the first tri-ban phone (it works with all three GSM frequencies) that works across the globe: in Europe, Asia, the United States, the Middle East, Africa and Australia. Expect to see it in U.S. stores by the end of the year, and an Internet-enabled version should arrive a few months later. I believe Bosch has a tri-band phone already on the market. I think, but am less sure, that Sagem also has an internet ready triband GSM phone on the market. "Everyone is stuck in front of a screen. ... The wireless Internet is liberating because it takes you out of Dilbert's cube. So you're not stuck in that geek think, you can go outside, go hiking," Kahn says. Ever tried using a GSM cellphone in the wild - coverage is much less than the older analogue systems and when I go hiking it is generally in a place so remote that no cellphone will work. Of course Iridium would work but they are bankrupt and don't do data and their competitors are looking to end up in the same boat (bankrupt). GaryS (who has used a Sagem GSM phone with integrated faxmodem to email and surf the web for the past year in the US).
