The solution is so simple for VZ: STOP WAITING FOR NOKIA 1X HANDSETS AND ORDER SOME FROM THE KOREANS. The first 1x handset for Verizon was supposed to be supplied by LG Telecom (I believe the TM-520). Here is a quote from an engineer from Samsung.... One manufacturer says the handset testing and evaluation procedures in the United States pose a serious barrier to CDMA's success in the marketplace and they are creating an almost unworkable hassle for 1X device manufacturers. 'This is a very important topic that's got to be raised,' says Muzibul Khan, senior director of product management and engineering in Samsung's wireless terminals division. Verizon's situation may involve a number of unique factors, but U.S. operators and manufacturers face several challenges that other countries and other technologies may not, Khan says. GSM, for example, has a relatively simple approval process, in which manufacturers send handsets to an independent testing body for evaluation. The testing body then gives devices 'type approval.' The GSM specifications are more detailed than CDMA's, which helps reduce variations between systems. I find it hard to take the article at anything but face value. The handsets are available but they are having trouble getting them through testing. Nokia has nothing to do with it.... Slacker
