I have a somewhat similar experience. I have a Sprint PCS
phone and my wife has a GSM phone (Cingular Wireless).
The Sprint phone is normally alright - but it does drop
calls. Also the signal strength display on the PCS phone
changes just by moving or changing the orientation of the
phone (e.g. from 5 bars to 1 bar or vice/versa).

Any CDMA/GSM/TDMA experts out there who can explain
this (and are not long QCOM/PCS ?)
------

This stock is quite a dog though. It should have some
value -
(i) US customer base - 18 million+ and revenues
(ii) Many international alliances and minority interests
(iii) Ownership of licenses that should be worth
more than the current market cap
(iv) Other tangible & intangible assets

---------
Spectrum is limited and I believe that all carriers are
hungry for profitability. If customer additons slow
across the industry carriers will begin to focus on
profitabilty - which may be achievable simply by
paring the high cost of new customer acquisition
(if consumers have to pay full price for phones it will
also cut churn)

Any other opinions out there ?
