Mika - Was very impressed. These were also on show at T99 in Geneva, and I have sung my praises about NEC's little WCDMA handset with video attachment (attached wirelessly -Bluetooth- to boot). You are under the misapprehension that the only hard part of W-CDMA is blowing the chipsets. No. One of the hardest parts is tuning the standard and software so that the network works under load. I strongly suspect that this can only be done in a real world trial (which, for political reasons, will probably be called a roll-out.). As for whether an agreed upon W-CDMA standard really comes out soon, I have no insight. But there does seem to be a lot of politics, and thus I'd be very surprised if it happened anytime soon. And even if it did, I'd say it isn't worth much if it needs major tweaking before it works under load. Clark
