Eric L: Thanks for the thorough run down on WAP.

One of the points I picked up (I think) is that either WAP or a SIM card can provide a micro browser.

Since you know "Smart cards", if the shift to the use of smart cards takes place over the next few years for CDMA as well as enhanced SIM's for GSMland, does this mean WAP becomes less needed?.

(Still puzzled why Dr J is cool or skeptical re WAP.)

I note that Nokia in particular is in the forefront of promoting WAP on its phones. Assumed this was because it was necessary to permit most effective use of the GPRS upgrade. Could SIM's be a substitute or are WAP and SIMs complementary?

Again, thanks.

Best.
