^^The GSM network will be GSM - GPRS - W-CDMA.^^

As a "practical evolution", GPRS has a short life. For GSM networks intended to change over to WCDMA, though it's profitable, it probably complicates interoperability, burns resources and decelerates the migration. Evolution into a constrained and changing set of conditions is not naturally successful, though it can be nursed along. But that's not practical or efficient. "Good enough" 2.5G systems will be excluded from the 3G global system for a long time. That was not the original objective.



^^Nope. It will apply to Japan^^

I meant that the combined development of a GSM/CDMA SIM and the MSM5200 chipset compliant with 3GPP Release 99 points toward interoperability, not that it has been accomplished. I don't see the GSMA doing anything constructive in that direction. They use global roaming as an exclusive sales tool. That, too, obfuscates, obstructs and denies the original objective of a powerful global wireless telephony resource.
