Next year: GPRS phones with WAP 2.0, MMS, larger displays,
e-mail, pop,imap (as sommunicator, direct connection into
ones regular internet provider, WAP+WWW)
Both entry level, high end and the bussiness communicator
models.
Note the Nokia presentation on new display standards, one
gray scale, 3 color (up to communicator).
In 2003 GPRS have replaced legacy GSM (for new phones), the
packet control channel is needed.
That is, a totally new user behavior, culture is starting,
now only available on the communicator with HSCSD.
WAP-WWW-GPRS and larger displayes, without 10 cents a minute
costs ticking during use.

One contrary indicator, Motorola, seeing it as important
to delay the introduction of the first phase of GPRS,
because they need time to set up OEMs, according
to their survival plan. |
