With engineers like this, who need standards nor customers, and especially not competition. "the entire CDMA 1x effort" seem to be a very fragile effort, just like touching one line of code on a plate with cold spaghetti. Microsoft at least understands to call it "features" and concentrate on private crashes in the privacy of lonely computers, far from global networks and Linux servers.

Do they sue Verizon or NOK? How much damages will VZ absorb for them when they have to recall their handsets? Will VZ pay for this? Will VZ then make network adjustments which violate the spec for them as well to fix the next problem....and the next? At what point do we have a standard or not? There are too many problems which get started if VZ allows themsevles to change a standard to fit one player. It undermines the entire CDMA 1x effort, and I am frankly surpirsed that the CDG and the other contributors to the standard have not stood up and spoken out. Is the CDG going to support the 1x standard or are they not? It just does not make sense to risk the network for the sake of one companies brand name. Besides, almost every handset vendor up to now has had a recall of at least this big if not bigger. What is the big deal if NOK has to eat $2M in handsets? I would be willing to bet they have spent that much this WEEK alone on WCDMA network financing.
