Thanks Jim. Yes, you are right. He didn't say W-CDMA is backward compatible to GSM, but the way he wrote it did put that in my head - our brains don't necessarily translate reality correctly into our view of the world. However, his idea is that Qualcomm has made cdma2000 only backward compatible with cdmaOne, ignoring the GSM world. He is incorrect there. It is backward compatible with GSM too - it's just that GSM takes a lot more electronic gizzardry to overlay it. The Clone [W-CDMA] takes the same amount of electronics to overlay GSM. People could wrongly get the impression from his letter that W-CDMA is better for GSM users. I did and I know [more or less] what's going on. Thanks for correcting me. Mqurice PS: I guess it's getting cold and dark in Chicago now and Tero will be entering the hibernation period and perpetual night. They'll all run for the saunas. Imagine living in an igloo before the days of microwave ovens and the WWeb during the long winter nights.
