The new handsets, the 8887 and the 8877, will be available nationwide in Korea in 2Q01, but the handset issue is splitting members of the CDMA Development Group as they try to decide what action to take. For the full story see GMDaily sister title, Global Mobile, of March 28 2001 (vol. 8 no. 6).

It appears that the addition of 1xRTT technology to a cdmaOne network willcause handsets using Nokia's chipsets to stop operating on the digital channel. Sources said the flaw stems from Nokia's interpretation of the IS-95A standard, whereby Nokia chipset software directs handsets to use the synchronization channel differently than do other vendor's handsets.


Before, we start celebrating, remember the fact that the 8877 and the 8887 are supposed to be using Q's chipsets. The article may have it's overall facts correct but the details are a little muddled. Do you have a link for the above article? It refers to another article that sounds like it might shed some light on the situation.
