Lakers, << Do you think you can use a GSM only phone in a WCDMA carrier? >> It is my understanding that A UMTS phone used in Europe will have to be able to have full GSM functionality (at least initially) when communicating with a GSM network, including a circuit switched data capability and 2 way SMS. Essentially you have a multi-mode phone and enabling components. In addition, It is my understanding that a GSM phone will be able to communicate with a UMTS network when the UMTS carrier allows it (optional with the carrier). Sorry no links immediately at hand here to back that up. I'll look for same next weekend. If my understanding partially or in total is incorrect, I'll post back then. Meantime, I think that this is the reason that the phantom (prerelease product description) for Infineon "M-GOLD-PMB 8880" tri-mode baseband IC is supposedly UMTS/GSM/EDGE (GPRS class 12) compatible. - Eric -
