was thinking about sprint and their 56kbs - sounds like IS95-B to get to 64 kps... I got the above snip in a PM. My response follows. I thought so too, except for the following. I remember reading a comment by Sprint (I think it was in July) that they would skip 95B and go right to 1X. Now, since these are modem cards, maybe they are 95B, but then doesn't the base station need to be configured to handle 95B? The only thing I can think is it is some sort of hybrid and that is why is it 56K. That is, the modem card has a 95B chip and the base station does not, but instead has some sort of software adjustment to get most of the way to 64K. Sprint did recently come out and say they had come up with a software approach to up the speeds to 56K. Maybe QCOM provided this. Can anyone on the thread clarify all of this.
