Eric L: Huh ?

"IS-2000 (aka cdma2000) is equally vapourware and is considerably further away from an acceptable IMT-2000 implementation than WCDMA."

Have you spent so much time in Europe that vaporware is vapourware to you, or are you just translating into New Zealand spelling for Maurice's benefit? :-)

On the substance, my understanding is that the standards are agreed to and the specs set for CDMA 2000 a.k.a. MC. Is that wrong?

(And I also thought that the standards and specifications for the real WCDMA ((not the DoCoMo non standard version)) are not quite set and agreed to) (Is that wrong?)

Also I understood that the Q has already designed both the infrastructure and handset chips for CDMA 2000 - what they call 1XRTT as the first phase of CDMA 2000 and 3XRTT as the second phase in their set of designations a.k.a MC. Is that wrong?

Or in this confusing alphabet soup is IS-2000 somehow destinct from CDMA 2000 or MC?

Puzzled.

Note: Perhaps the definition of vaporware or vapourware is in the mind of the beholder and that is the key. Is it?

Or have you just chosen your designations carefully to include the non standard version of WCDMA which DoCoMo claims it will launch a year from now, and exclude 1XRTT which Qualcomm and CDG call the first phase of CDMA 2000 which will be available commercially before the end of this year or early next in Korea, Japan and in the US (Verizon test starting this June).

In other words, is this a somewhat fine definitional or labelling distinction with a European flavour or a substantive technological distinction?

Best as always,

And await enlightenment.
