Tero,
<< I take a few days off and this thread goes to hell in a handbasket. >>
Heck, I only posted once. <g>
Maybe you should form a Nokia cabal to function in your absence?
Is a cabal like a cult?
<< There's some grim satisfaction to be found in this... it confirms my worst suspicions about the tyranny of the Qualcomm cabal currently strangling SI >>
What is this fascination you have with the Q* word?
I did not use that word in my post you are replying to. Only Nokia. Positively I hope since this is the Nokia thread.
Although (come to think of it)...
Have you checked out Andrew Seybolds site lately?
His Roadmap shows GPRS in "General Deployment" by Q4 2000, and chugging along at 38 kbps Rx, 9.6 Tx by late Q3 2001 & 64 kbps full duplex (115 kbps) by end Q2 2002 although he notes: "We doubt that the last phase (62.4 Kbps) of GPRS will be implemented because of the availability of EDGE". I acknowledge that you think differently on that one.
By contrast he shows CDMA 1xMC in limited deployment by Q4 at 115 kbps (but he notes (Shinsegi Telecomm [SKT], Korea plans nationwide service in Q1-2001), and "General Deployment" at 307 kbps by Q2 2002. This might be optimistic since 1x Revision A is not in specification yet.
Glad I only have to use GSM across the pond (and no G-Mails), and Chris Gent, Dr. Lee, & Gerry Flynn will fix that one soon when I can port my subscription.
Competition in technology is marvelous.
Respectfully & have a great Nokia Weekend,
