Which will be the less expensive migration path for carriers in Europe:

1. GSM to GPRS/EDGE to WCDMA

2. GSM to GSM-CDMA overlay to CDMA2000

The GPRS/EDGE route has some advantages going for it that make it the current hot favorite.

1) Carriers could realize extra revenue by charging for the "pocket warmer" feature.

2) Churn rates in the winter would be reduced.

3) Batteries would wear out quickly creating a lot of repeat sales in the accessory department.

4) By incorporating a thick steel antenna/heatsink, beverages could be warmed quickly.

5) Built-in seal-a-meal.

6) Wounds could be quickly cauterized in a remote location.

7) Antenna/heatsink could double as a lock de-icer.

8) Reduced incidence of frostbite of the ear-lobe.

9) Antenna/heatsink doubles as a hot dog cooker.

10) Emergency fire starter.
