<I really want to read the QCOM threads the day Sprint's parent company announces its W-CDMA order. That should be a blast.> Hey! Tell me about it Tero. You know where I'm coming from? W-CDMA different from cdma2000? Don't even go there. They are in, like, denial. Yeah!

I too think it will be a very good blast when either W-CDMA or cdma2000 start rolling out. It will also be very blasting if Nokia is producing cdma2000 or any other kind of CDMA handset in large numbers.

But do we yet know just exactly how W-CDMA differs from cdma2000? Last I heard, Vodafone was leaning heavily in the direction of having a single world-wide standard. I can't see that they would want to spend extra money on their IS-95 networks to install W-CDMA if it's incompatible.

If it's compatible, then it will be so like cdma2000 that it will be irrelevant.

How is W-CDMA better than cdma2000? What exactly are the differences? You mean there has been a detailed standard announced? It seems that the main difference between the two standards is that some extra IPR baggage and costs will be hanging around W-CDMA, making the erlangs per dollar less efficient than cdma2000.

Do you think Gus is getting a bit gross with his comments? I have no problem with 'anti-emetics'. Can't say I like the idea of them myself. They should be illegal. What was that 'smelt' business Gus was describing?

LET'S HAVE NO EMETICS ON THIS THREAD!! Gus, no emetics or smelting, okay?
