Not according to itu.int or a number of other ITU, ETSI and 3GPP web pages. Of course, it wouldn't be the first time backers of a losing standard tried to make the winning standard name just a generic name for all the standards, thereby confusing matters and hiding their defeat.

You are right although it wasn't always that way. W-CDMA has become the "commonly used" reference to DS-CDMA because of the attempts of the backers of a losing standard to obfuscate the issues.

HDR doesn't do voice. Spectrum dedicated to HDR must be taken away from voice. Just FYI.

That's the cool part. HDR can handle the data intensive tasks in a separate channel leaving voice to flow freely. Also, channels can be allocated to either voice or data as demand dictates. It's dynamic. Just FYI.

I would love to see W-CDMA rolled out as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, even Nokia admits that it will be years rather than months before we see any commercial deployment of DS-CDMA. Of course, this is to Nokia's advantage. They can continue to service the legacy GSM systems and make billions. The longer it takes for GSM networks to migrate to CDMA of any flavor, the more money Nokia makes.

There is so much misinformation surrounding CDMA and 3G in the investment world.

See the last sentence above for one of the reasons why.
