Hooray for Harvey, first one to get somebody quoted who uses a CDMA phone. Sounds okay!

Dropped calls and coverage gaps might be one and the same problem; moving into lack of coverage gives dropped call. A handset design flaw doesn't seem likely, though he is quite right in the sense that if it is hanging up, it is a design flaw and it doesn't matter a hoot whether it is due to drunk signal switchers in the base stations, flat batteries in the cellphone tower or crooked wiring in the handset chips. He wants connection and doesn't get it.

Apart from hanging up, he doesn't say anything else is bad. It reads like a pretty good report on a bunch of bubble gum and chickenwire.

Where did you find the usenet where he reported that?

NextWave Telecom prospectus looks good, though the most important detail, the price, is missing.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the report.
