Eric L: After thinking about it, it seemed to me my DoCoMo discussion inter alia that I posted in reply to you on your "Smart Card" thread belongs here. So here it is for those who are interested in DoCoMo's doings and the relationship of WCDMA and CDMA data upgrades toward CDMA 2000 in Japan - especially the timing. Chaz

Eric L:.............. on Japan, thanks for the observation of my interest (hey, maybe I am an Asiacentric among the Eurocentrics I seem to discuss GSM with. Smile) and I found the last link in your [previous] post [to me on the Smart Card thread] fascinating.

To be clear, (as you know really) my limited knowledge is about data in Japan as it relates to CDMA wireless and its rivals (still in early learning stage re smart cards). And DoCoMo is particularly fascinating to me as it seems to have a huge and effective FUD operation (using the Wall Street Journal in particular) - reminds me of a Eurocentric operation which is burned in my memory.

Your last link [ in your just previous post to me on the "Smart Card thread] shows that DoCoMo 's plan was to launch WCDMA now - or "early" this year to begin "commercial" operation - if I read the discussion of Malaysian trials of WCDMA correctly.

(And as recently as this week the trials of WCDMA by DoCoMo in Korea required a "van" to transport the "terminal" - again if I read right.)

Full WCDMA early this year, seems to have slipped a bit as many of these do. 2002 and 2003 seem more realistic, no?

(Altho perhaps some non standard and data limited version may be rolled out this year or next for FUD purposes)

Enough for now.

Do suggest repost of 113.

Best as always.
