Strange to put a "3G" label on phones that aren't and can't be upgraded to be? Can't make customers happy. "V-12 by Ferrari inside" - but you can't start it..

Well....I dont think that Qualcomm worries too much that operators are going to be badgered by consumers asking if these phones are 3G. Part of the decision might have been due to the fact that these handsets could function as 3G on another network. OTOH....you are right that it is an absolute pain in the ass for PCS. Until I read this FAQ, I was still confused by the various decisions.

The one question I still have is if these handsets could be hooked up to a laptop and connect at 3G speeds. I would assume that these connections would not go through the WAP server...
