Assuming they upgrade their networks for GPRS data services, why do they need to change the TDMA RF to GSM

My understanding is that GPRS is a data-only service....all of the current GPRS phones are GPRS/GSM. If a T customer bought the new tri-band Ericsson phone, they would have data services in the GPRS areas but wouldnt they have to roam onto VSTR's network for voice?

They could wait for GPRS/TDMA terminals but those would likely be at least a year away (and probably more).

I have never adequately understood GPRS...so my explanation could be way off base.
