Maurice - I don't believe that Q! chose a less elegant and slower version of CDMA than VW40.

FYI, we were talking about IS-95B, not CDMA2000. I'll quote from the CDMA-2000 spec, which compares the performance of CDMA-2000 with IS-95B:

<<The F-CCCH improves packet data performance by reducing L2 signaling delay and increased data rates for Dormant Burst.>>

The delays they are talking about here are exactly the kinds of delays I was referring to, and in CDMA-2000 they have reduced them in several ways, one of which is by having a new Forward Common Control Channel. The only real question is exactly what the latency is for IS-95B.
