On India, WHO is selling the phones there? Korean? And why should we mind how CDMA is being marketed in Calcutta? As long as the infrastructure coverage is adequate and lack of same does not give CDMA a bad name. No idea who is selling the phones but they have to be VERY cheap....I saw officials quoted saying that the system cost $200-$250 per line to set-up, including the phone. I dont know why China and India use lines as a measure of capacity....never seen that in the US. As to marketing….I was just thinking it is always better to be viewed as being "in-style". Those that can afford it will go with GSM if they view CDMA as being for the poor. Also I did read something that stated some nonsense about how CDMA wouldn't work well in-doors. Unfortunately perception will matter to a degree…..of course the lower ASP's that would be derived might be overwhelmed by the sheer numbers who would sign up for the cheaper service. The more I read about HDR the more excited I get….I am curious for others thoughts. It seems almost to good to be true. I don't know how the service wouldn't be overwhelmed by users (thus slowing the service). Steve, Clark, engineer any thoughts? I think I know where Qdog stands…. Slacker
